As Kenneth Hill Inc.claims to be an employee-centered company. It has created a system of management wherein supervisors will have a specific number of employees under them. Lately, however, this practice has led to favoritism. Managers have promoted only those employees who had similar interests as them.This resulted in a huge disparity in the income and statuses of workers and created a negative workplace environment. This type of organizational behavior is best explained by conflict theory which was presented by Karl Marx. Karl Marx explained in his conflict theory that we can have peace, justice and social order only thorough and with the help of power and authority not by conformity and consensus, otherwise people will start working for their benefits and interests as the same started happening in this specific case.
