The questionnaire survey has been distributed by hand or via email to the potential respondents at Perak. The result concluded that there are three significant causes of conflict which are (i) different professions that create dissimilar perception among professional parties, (ii) poor communications among the professional parties and (iii) mistrust in the performance of duties in teamwork meanwhile the major impact is increased due the stressful working environment.
