The paper suggests the index of social tension in the enterprise, which makes it possible to assess the intensity of one indicator, namely, the distribution of the number of employees. Most researchers believe that this is one of the main reasons for the formation of the conflict. Social tension in the enterprise is proposed to be estimated by the sum of deviations of the actual distribution of income from those distributed according to lognormal law. This approach is based on the Boltzmann principle, according to which the most probable state of the system is the most stable. The degree of deviation from the lognormal distribution, accepted for the most probable, characterizes the level of social tension. The paper presents an example of calculating the intensity index at the university department. The level of social tension has slightly exceeded the permissible value. As an assessment of the possible form of manifestation of an increased level of social tension, staff turnover was calculated, since in a market competition, protest activity does not bring the expected benefits, changing jobs is the more likely way to end the conflict. Staff turnover was 2.9%. Thus, in the observed team, social tension is slightly exceeded and there is no protest activity. The proposed index can be used as an independent indicator, and can be included in complex indicators of social tension. The advantage of the developed index is the ability to keep a continuous record of the level of social tension on income differentiation. If man use already installed software products, this index can be calculated automatically. The management of the enterprise can use to analyze the dynamics of the level of social tension in the team in order to prevent conflict situations
