Question

If, in the beginning of your work with the company, your differences with the owner were purely based on differences in judgment, but have now deteriorated to the point that your differences are more emotional and directed personally toward one another, it can be said that you initially experienced ___________ but now are experiencing ___________.

Answer 1

The answers are cognitive conflict and affective conflict

Step-by-step explanation:

In any organization, be it family, work, sports team, etc., conflict are very common. There are two main different types of conflict that can arise: Task-related, or cognitive conflict; and relationship, or affective conflict. Cognitive conflict generally refers to differences between how to best perform an activity, how to achieve a goal, or the best course of action. Affective conflict, on the other hand, refers to personal differences between the involved parties, which lead to negative emotional responses.

In your example, this can be seen very clearly: differences between you and the owner were over differences in judgement, but deteriorated to the point where they are more emotional and directed personally toward one another. It thus can be said that you initially experienced cognitive conflict, but now are experiencing affective conflict.
