In a workplace, problems are solved all day long and interpersonal conflicts should be just another problem to be solved. However, it’s always easier to solve problems regarding things. But the people side of problems is usually trickier and in actuality, it’s highly unlikely that any problem solved in the workplace doesn’t have a people element to it.

In actuality, as is with most situations, it's probably somewhere in the middle and fluid, being dependent on the situation and the people involved. Therein lies the problem, what might not cause a problem one day, the next day can cause a huge blowup dependent on the factors and people involved.
