N2 - This study examines the direct, indirect, and common-cause effects of three organizational attributes of public bureaus-size, specialization, and centralization of authority-on lateral and vertical conflict. The model developed is tested separately for ethnically homogeneous and heterogeneous bureaus. Such interactive analysis makes it possible to examine differentials in individuals’ adaptations to general organizational arrangements. It was found that variations in the two types of conflict result from the interaction of organizational variables with the ethnic composition of the bureaus.
