Background of the Study
Workplace conflict, whether interpersonal, interdepartmental, or between management and staff, is a common occurrence in most organizational settings. Conflict within the workplace can significantly influence employee performance, and its effects can be either positive or negative depending on how it is managed. The Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), a critical institution in Nigeria's financial market, is not exempt from the challenges posed by workplace conflict. As an institution that requires high levels of collaboration, professionalism, and accountability, workplace conflict at the NSE can hinder its operations, reduce employee morale, and ultimately impact employee performance.
In the NSE, employees operate under high pressure, with multiple tasks to manage within strict deadlines. These working conditions, coupled with diverse personalities and departmental differences, often give rise to conflicts that, if not appropriately managed, can affect the performance of employees. Employees’ ability to perform their roles efficiently may be undermined by the emotional and psychological toll that unresolved conflicts take. Therefore, it is crucial to assess how conflict at the NSE affects employee performance in Taraba State, a location where the organization has an operational presence. This study intends to examine the effects of workplace conflict on employee performance, emphasizing both the negative and potential positive outcomes when conflict is constructively addressed.

This study seeks to identify the specific effects of workplace conflict on employee performance and propose strategies to mitigate its impact, enabling the NSE to enhance its overall performance.
