Factionalism
Factionalism refers to the tendency for individuals or groups within a larger organization or community to form distinct factions based on differing beliefs, values, goals, or interests. These factions often compete for power, influence, or resources within the larger entity, leading to divisions, conflicts, and rivalries. Factionalism can create internal strife, hinder cooperation, and impede decision-making processes. It can also impact the overall cohesion and effectiveness of the organization or community as a whole.
