Abstract
Current research on the causes of conflict and disputes is inconclusive. There is confusion as to the definition of key terms. Often the so-called causes, on closer scrutiny, are in fact only the symptoms. This paper proposes clear definitions of key terms. A classification of "categories", "symptoms" and "root causes" is also proposed.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
