Conflict Defined13-4

Process that begins when one party perceives that another party has negatively affected, or is about to

negatively affect, something that the first party cares about (Thomas, 1992).

Page 5: Organizational Behavior BUS-542 Instructor: Erlan Bakiev, Ph.D

Transitions in Conflict Thought13-5

Traditional View All conflict is harmful and must be avoided

Interactionist View Conflict is encouraged to prevent group from becoming stale (Dreu and Van de Vliert, 1997)

Resolution Focused View Conflict is inevitable but we should focus on

productive conflict resolution (Peterson and Behfar, 2003)

Functional Vs. Dysfunctional Conflict

13-6

Functional: improves group performance

Dysfunctional: hinders group performance

Assessing Focus of Conflict: Task – work content and goals Relationship – interpersonal Process – how the work is done

The Conflict Process13-8

Page 9: Organizational Behavior BUS-542 Instructor: Erlan Bakiev, Ph.D

Stage I: Potential Opposition

13-9

Communication Barriers Exist Too Much or Too Little

Structure Group Size, Age, Diversity Organizational Rewards,

Goals, Group Dependency Personal Variables (Glomb and Liao, 2003)

Personality Types Emotionality

Page 10: Organizational Behavior BUS-542 Instructor: Erlan Bakiev, Ph.D

Stage II: Cognition and Personalization 13-10

Potential for conflict is actualized Parties “make sense” of conflict by defining

it and its potential solutions Emotions play a major role in shaping

perceptions Perceived Conflict – awareness needed for

actualization (Pondy, 1967) Felt Conflict - emotional involvement - parties

experience anxiety, tension, frustration, or hostility

Page 11: Organizational Behavior BUS-542 Instructor: Erlan Bakiev, Ph.D

Stage III: Intentions 13-11

The decision to act in a given way Inferred (often erroneous) intentions

may cause greater conflict (Baron, 1989)

Page 12: Organizational Behavior BUS-542 Instructor: Erlan Bakiev, Ph.D

Stage IV: Behavior13-12

Where conflict becomes visible Usually overt attempts to implement each

party’s intentions May become an inadvertent stimulus due to

miscalculations or unskilled enactments Functional Conflicts: confined to lower range of

continuum – subtle, indirect, and highly controlled Dysfunctional Conflicts: upper range – highly

destructive activities such as strikes and riots

Page 13: Organizational Behavior BUS-542 Instructor: Erlan Bakiev, Ph.D

Stage V: Outcomes 13-13 Functional (Nijstad and Kaps,

2008; Zellmer-Brugn et al., 2008): Improves decision quality Stimulates creativity and innovation Encourages interest and curiosity Problems are aired Accepts change and self-evaluation

Dysfunctional: Group is less effective Cohesiveness and communications are

reduced Leads to the destruction of the group

Page 14: Organizational Behavior BUS-542 Instructor: Erlan Bakiev, Ph.D

Creating Functional Conflict (Sommerfield, 1990)

13-14

Managers can reward dissent and punish conflict avoiders

Managers must learn to accept bad news without sending cues that conflict is unacceptable

Page 15: Organizational Behavior BUS-542 Instructor: Erlan Bakiev, Ph.D

Negotiation13-15

Process in which two or more parties exchange goods or services and attempt to agree on the exchange rate for them (Robbins and Judge,

2012)

Page 16: Organizational Behavior BUS-542 Instructor: Erlan Bakiev, Ph.D

Bargaining Strategies (Walton and McKersie, 1965)13-16

Necessary Conditions for Integrative Bargaining (Thomas, 1992)13-18

Parties must be open with information and candid about their concerns

Both parties must be sensitive regarding the other’s needs

Parties must be able to trust each other Both parties must be willing to be flexible

The Negotiation Process (Bazerman and Neale, 1992;Curhan, et l., 2009)

Individual Differences in Negotiation

13-20

Personality (Amanatullah et al., 2008) Little evidence to support Disagreeable introvert is best

Moods & Emotions (Watson and Hoffman, 1996; Walters et al., 1998) Showing anger helps in distributive negotiations Positive moods help integrative negotiations

Gender Men are slightly better Many stereotypes – low power positions Women’s self-image as negotiators is poor

Page 21: Organizational Behavior BUS-542 Instructor: Erlan Bakiev, Ph.D

Global Implications13-21

Conflict and Culture: Insufficient research at this point Initial evidence does suggest some differences in tactics and attitude

Cultural Differences in Negotiations: Negotiating styles clearly vary across national cultures

Page 22: Organizational Behavior BUS-542 Instructor: Erlan Bakiev, Ph.D

Implications for Managers: Managing Conflict

13-22

Use in the appropriate situations: Competition – quick action is vital Collaboration – to gain commitment with

consensus Avoidance – the issue is trivial Accommodation – when you’re wrong Compromise – opponents have equal power

and hold mutually exclusive goals

Page 23: Organizational Behavior BUS-542 Instructor: Erlan Bakiev, Ph.D

Implications for Managers: Improving Negotiation Skills13-23

Set Ambitious Goals Pay Little Attention to Initial Offers Research Your Opponent Address the Problem, Not the Personalities Be Creative - Emphasize Win-Win Solutions

Page 24: Organizational Behavior BUS-542 Instructor: Erlan Bakiev, Ph.D

Keep in Mind…13-24

Conflict is an inherent part of organizational life: probably necessary for optimal organizational function

Task conflict is the most constructive Most effective negotiators use both

types of bargaining and know the appropriate tactics
