Conflicts are a natural part of the collective human experience. Wherever there is the involvement of choices, conflicts are bound to happen. In the current competitive world, opinion and views are highly divided and hence conflicts are inevitable (Deutsch & Coleman, 2000). In our efforts to work cooperatively and collaboratively with one another, we often have differing opinions about how best to accomplish our common goals. Conflicts in the workplace are common and they occur as result of varying personalities and perspectives. Employer and employee conflicts are the most common types of conflicts in the workplace. Conflicts most of the times ...

Powerlessness

One of the issues that create powerlessness is role conflict. Role conflict emanates from the different roles a nurse has to fulfill. A nurse has an official role, which she has to fulfill to meet the expectations set by the institution. Communication of roles is via the normal administrative channels. Additionally, the nurse has to fulfill the expectations of the colleagues and peers. Thirdly, a nurse has to fulfill self-expectations from the basic personal understanding of what a nurse is required to do. These entire roles may themselves introduce role conflict, which contribute to the reduction in motivation among the nurses. If ...

Not all nations follow the same political and development course. Although that would make subjective evaluations easier, it is not the case and federalism is an example of this. After Marshal Tito retied, Yugoslavia announced a decentralization plan; Belgium and Czechoslovakia are heading towards federation. The federalist government of Pakistan began as an expedient solution to the political discord extant at the close of British imperial control of India. The Hindus and the Muslims united to cast off the British, but then the Muslims demanded to have their own nation. This resulted in two territories geographically separated by a thousand miles ...

SCENARIO ONE

Conflicts at workplace are common and especially in healthcare where a single mistake can result in greater loss. In this situation the internist is speaking louder and being angry but he has not used abusive language which means that there is a chance to settle the conflict easily. Moreover, until the time of conflict there had not been some great loss or repercussion which means there is a chance that the conflict can be resolved in a friendly way. So, for this purpose, I would suggest that one party should remain calm which in this case should be the radiologist. This situation needs ...

The case of Julie and Susan occurs often in a work environment where a subordinate relationship and job description are not clearly defined. Misunderstanding between co-workers most often escalate into emotional confrontation inside and sometimes outside of the work premises.

The options available to Brent do not seem easy at all. The option given by Megan is that Brent and Scott take just a little fewer invoices and other source documents as they did the past year. This option is based on the presumption that, since the company has always been right in the preparation of the payable accounts then they would still be right this time. This option has various weaknesses, key among them, and the fact that it relies upon assumptions. It is grossly wrong to assume that any company will prepare its accounts the same way it ...

The reading discusses the world of fashion from four different sociological perspectives. These sociological perspectives are structural functionalism, conflict theory, symbolic interactions and feminism.

According to functionalism, fashion serves as a purpose to differentiate between the wealthy and not-so-wealthy. So, the rich would wear expensive clothing because he/she can afford them, while the poor will wear cheap clothes because he/she cannot afford to wear ‘high’ fashion clothing.

The conflict theory suggested that the companies engaged in fashion are the ones who benefit from fashion, not the buyers. The theory says that the fashion industry is constantly introducing new styles, so ...

As of date, the National Football League is running its 2012 draft, which is a far cry from what happened just a year ago. When the labor talks between the NFL and the union broke down, the Union decertified, allowing individual players to file lawsuits against the NFL. It took a little over a year before the lockout came to an end and only because the owners agreed to the recommended settlement of the NFL Players’ Association.

Looking at the outcome of the lockout, the most surprising thing that probably happened was that both the NFL Players’ Association and the ...

What seems to be the cause of the conflict?

The core of the conflict is a toxic organizational culture, which has been allowed to emerge over overtime. An organizational culture comprises numerous aspects, key among them being communication, leadership, collective values, mission/vision, practices, diversity management, regulations/policies, place, and organizational narrative. The leadership failure created by the past operational manager, particularly his appointment of supervisors without a moral authority over the employees, resulted in a complete breakdown in leadership, which when coupled with the lack of formal policies (and best practices) in issues such as the use of radio and stringent recruitment checks, resulted into conflict, ill motivation, belligerency, ...
