Conflict Management
The practice of recognizing and dealing with disputes in a rational, balanced and effective
way. Conflict management implemented within a businessenvironment usually involves
effective communication, problem resolving abilities and good negotiating skills to restore
the focus to the company's overall goals.
2.2 Sources of conflict management Early reviews in the field of conflict resolution
identified a large number of schemes for describing sources or types of conflict (Fink,
1968; Mack & Snyder, 1958). One of the early theorists on conflict, Daniel Katz (1965),
created a typology that distinguishes three main sources of conflict: economic, value,
and power.
[Link] conflict -occurs when each party wishes to maintain or maximize the
amount Of influence that it exerts in the relationship and the social setting. It is
impossible for one party to be stronger without the other being weaker, at least in terms
of direct influence over each other. Thus, a power struggle ensues which usually ends in
a victory and defeat, or in a “stand-off” with a continuing state of tension. Power
conflicts can occur between individuals, between groups or between nations, whenever
one or both parties choose to take a power approach to the relationship. Power also
enters into all conflict since the parties are attempting to control each other.
7
1. ascalation of Conflict:A final source of conflict is more additional than basic, that is,
it comes in after the conflict hasstarted. Conflicts have a definite tendency to escalate,
i.e., to become more intense and hostile,and to develop more issues, i.e., what the
parties say the conflict is about. Therefore, escalatingconflicts become more difficult to
manage. The process of escalation feeds on fear [Link] leads to
counter threat, usually with higher stakes at each go-round. Selective and distorted
perception justifies a competitive and cautious approach as opposed to a trusting and
cooperative one. Through Deutsch’s crude law of social relations (1973), competition
breeds competition, rather than cooperation. The self-fulfilling prophecy comes into
play. Each party
8
[Link] conflict- involves very real differences in role definitions, expectations or
organizations have varying priorities over resource management and policy development.
These complex conflictstypically involve a combination of economic, value and power sources.
This complexity is often beyond the reach of traditional authoritative or adversarial
procedures, and more collaborative approaches to building consensus are required for
resolution (Cormick et al, 1996; Gray, 1989).
5. International conflict -occurs between states at the global level. Competition for
resources certainly plays a part, but value and power conflict are often intertwined and
sometimes predominate. The differences are articulated through the channels of diplomacy
in a constant game of give and take, or threat and counterthreat, sometimes for the highest
of stakes. Mechanisms of propaganda can lead to many of the same social-psychological
distortions that characterize interpersonal and intergroup conflict.

2.4 Methods of Conflict Resolution:
The win-lose approach -is all too common. People learn the behaviors of destructive
conflict early in life – competition, dominance, aggression and defense permeate many of
our social relationships from the family to the school playground. The “fixed pie” assumption
is made, often incorrectly, that what one party gains, the other loses. The strategy is thus to
force the other side to capitulate. Sometimes, this is done through socially acceptable
mechanisms such as majority vote, the authority of the leader, or the determination of a
judge. Sometimes, it involves secret strategies, threat, innuendo – whatever works is
acceptable, i.e., the ends justify the means. There is often a strong we-they distinction
accompanied by the classic symptoms of intergroup conflict. The valued outcome is to have
a victor who is superior, and a vanquished who withdraws in shame, but who prepares very
carefully for the next round. In the long run, everyone loses.
The lose-lose strategy- is exemplified by smoothing over conflict or by reaching the simplest
of compromises. In neither case is the creative potential of productive conflict resolution
realized or explored. Disagreement is seen as inevitable, so therefore why not split the
difference or smooth over difficulties in as painless a way as possible? Sometimes, this is
indeed the reality of the situation, and the costs are less than in the win-lose approach, at
least for the loser. Each party gets some of what it wants, and resigns itself to partial
satisfaction. Neither side is aware that by confronting the conflict fully and cooperatively
they might have created a more satisfying solution. Or the parties may realistically use this
approach to divide limited resources or to forestall a win-lose escalation and outcome.
The win-win approach is a conscious and systematic attempt to maximize the goals of both
parties through collaborative problem solving. The conflict is seen as a problem to be solved
rather than a war to be won. The important distinction is we (both parties) versus the
problem, rather than we (one party) versus they (the other party). This method focuses on
the needs and constraints of both parties rather than emphasizing strategies designed to
conquer. Full problem definition and analysis and development of alternatives precedes
consensus decisions on mutually agreeable solutions. The parties work toward common and
super ordinate goals, i.e., ones that can only be attained by both parties pulling together.
10
There is an emphasis on the quality of the long term relationships between the parties,
rather than short term accommodations. Communication is open and direct rather than
secretive and calculating. Threat and coercion are proscribed. The assumption is made that
integrative agreements are possible given the full range of resources existing in the
relationship. Attitudes and behaviors are directed toward an increase of trust and
acceptance rather than an escalation of suspicion and hostility. The win-win approach
requires a very high degree of patience and skill in human relations and problem solving

As a leader, your job title and conflict management are oftentimes synonymous. Your team
looks to you when incongruity appears in the workplace. And how you prepare yourself to
handle issues directly affects the strengths and successes of the people you represent.
13
Understand the Types of Conflict
The types of conflict vary, and you need to be aware of each possible type when
establishing conflict management objectives.
14
Cognitive Conflict
Cognitive conflict:(also called substantive or task conflict), for instance, centers on ideas
rather than personalities. The effect of this type of conflict is usually positive or neutral and is
often unrelated to the functioning of a group.
• Project strategy
• Resource allocation
• Time management
• Vendor selection
• Process establishment
Learning new ways to perform a task or discovering alternative solutions can present initial
discomfort to those affected when it conflicts with their preconceived beliefs. In these
scenarios, your job as a successful leader relies on your ability to transform conflict into a
positive outcome.
15
Emotional Conflict
Emotionalconflict:, on the other hand, focuses on how people interact with each other in
the workplace. Alarmingly, study indicated that nearly half of participants believe that conflict
derives from personality clashes alone.
This type of conflict usually has a negative effect, especially when left unaddressed:
That's not to say that cognitive conflict is more welcome than emotional conflict. Cognitive
discrepancies can become as pervasive an issue as emotional situations, and flourish in
negativity from participants if it isn't effectively cured.
In either case, it's equally vital to address and dissipate conflict promptly.
One key objective of conflict resolution training is learning how to detect existing and potential
disparities. In recognizing conflict you are better prepared to develop an approach to remedy
the conflict before it infects other areas of your organization.
16
If left unaddressed, poor conflict management can lead to
• A reduction in productivity
• Wasted time in fielding repeated complaints and concerns
• Absenteeism
• Workplace turnover
• Low morale
As a leader, you need to be forward thinking as to what events might initiate conflict. Be aware
of individuals or situations that might provoke conflict or produce responses that are
destructive. Keep an eye out for negative emotions that are being strongly expressed,
impulsive responses, and an increase in tensions. A little foresight and planning can go a long
way in preventing conflict escalation.
17
Literature review
Conflict is the result of a difference of perception, opinion or beliefs among people (PMI,
2010). Usually, conflict occurs when there are incompatible goals, thoughts or emotions
among individuals, resulting in opposition and disagreements. Wall and Callister (1995) define
conflicts as “…. A process in which one party perceives that its interests are being opposed or
negatively affected by another party”. Ahmed (2007) states that conflict is “perceived
difference between two or more parties resulting in mutual opposition”. Conflict involving the
project team, as well as groups that are outside of the project, can be detrimental to project
performance (Yu-Chin Liu et al., 2011). Project managers often experience interface conflicts
that stem from incompatible requirements from different project stakeholders. Each group
will generally present differences in attitude towards a project, and these differences will
generate interface conflicts (Awakul and Ogunlana, 2002). The project manager accomplishes
project success through Project team by motivating all those involved within time, budget,
and quality and to the client´s satisfaction. According to Hoffer et al. (2002) the project
manager uses the required skills in leadership, management, stakeholder´s relationship and
conflict management style to achieve project objectives by motivating the team to ameliorate
conflict during project life cycle. The project manager should concentrate on applicable
constructive conflict management style. Lee (2008), posited that conflict is part of human
reciprocal activity, which require different use of conflict management styles adopted by the
Project manager to maintain harmony within the organization. Rahim and Bonoma (1979)
outlined the most common five styles of dealing with conflict: confronting, dominating,
compromising, accommodating and avoiding. Khanaki and Hassanzadeh (2010) and Kuhn and
Poole (2000) looked at confronting conflict management style in project management as a
situation that allow conflict to be resolved between two parties that result in a win-win
situation. This style involves clear and straight communication and it makes available utmost
declaration. Thammavijitdej (2000) posited that confrontation has proven to be the most
efficacious of all the conflict management styles since it encourages openness and a cut clear
information synthesis from one party to another. Compromising is considered to be give and
take. Lee K. L. (2008) and Verma V. K. (1998) see compromising as bargaining to solve the
18
pending conflict that satisfy both parties and always catering for unequivocal resolve. It is
good to use when both parties need to win; there is a deadlock, there is not enough time, the
need to maintain the relationship is crucial and there is no suitable time, in other words, both
parties gain something to lose something. Accommodating allow for the point of view of
everyone and synthesizes to have an agreement and allegiance of the parties involved in
conflict, which always produce a long lasting solution. Its final result is a win-win situation
according to Thammavijitdej P. (2000) and the result benefits all the parties involved.
Forcing conflict management style is a condition of high concern for one’s self and a low
concern for others as it is an indication of establishing one´s idea over others leading to a win-
lose situation. This in turn encourages forcing to win at the expense of other TMs (Cheung, C.,
1999; Friendman R.A. et al., 2000; Rahim M. A. 2002; Hans A. and Bariki A. S. 2012). The
project manager that uses this technique will become an authoritarian or a dictator and the
project will suffer the consequences. Avoiding is the situation of conflict avoidance as they
ignore it and look somewhere else whenever conflict arises. Zikmann, R. (1992) attributed
conflict avoidance as a passive response to conflict in which the concern for both parties is
ignored. These same styles are being presently considered to analyze the consequences of a
project manager’s conflict management styles on the project team’s motivation (Mumuni,
2013), confirming the most successful project conflict management styles through ranking.
The ranking orders indicate that the confronting conflict management style is the most
important of the five, followed by accommodating and compromising respectively, while
forcing came in fourth and avoiding, fifth. This study recommends that the conflict
management style adopted should be based on the nature of the contending issues; the
project stakeholder’s demand and the urgency to deliver the project as soon as possible.
Most research on conflict implies that its management is a process: 1) identification, 2)
resolution, 3) enactment, and 4) evaluation, analyzing the impact of the conflict type on
project performance. The conflict process is based on previous conditions, emotions,
perceptions and behaviors. By examining conflict as a process, Iorio and Taylor (2014)
developed a model to understand conflict, not only examining failures which occur within the
conflict management process, but also identifying phases when conflict is successfully
19
mediated. Different interactional patterns between distributed project TMs and boundary
objects have demonstrated a reduction in conflict duration. Regardless of network diversity,
networks that interacted with the boundary objects in certain ways were able to identify and
resolve conflicts more quickly. A general consensus from researchers indicates that what
triggers conflict may be an internal or external change, a cause or result of communication,
emotions, values, organization structure, workgroup diversity or personal experience
(Desivilya and Yagil, 2005; Farmer and Roth, 1998; Fine et al., 1990; Jameson, 1999; Jones and
Deckro, 1993; Jones and Melcher 1982; Tjosvold and Su, 2006; Wall and Callister, 1995).
Kaushal R. et al. (2006) explored the relationships among culture, power, personality, and
styles of conflict resolution. They include in their research an overview of the hypothesized
connections between cultural variables and styles of conflict resolution and between
personality variables and styles of conflict resolution. Cingöz-Ulu B. and Lalonde R. N. (2007)
go further exploring cultural differences in conflict management strategies within the context
of same-sex friendships, opposite-sex friendship and romantic relationships. Results showed
that in general, personal relationships involved a more extensive use of conflict management
strategies than did opposite-sex friendships, with same-sex friendships falling in between the
two. Vaaland (2004), Billows (2006) and Hodgson (2011) demonstrated how collaboration
between clients and major contractors can be improved in situations where tension
challenges relationship continuation: relationship conflict is reduced through the
identification of conflict events and the analysis of differences in both parties’ perceptions. In
this way, there are important considerations related to the identification and prioritizing of
critical success factors for conflict management (Lam and Chin, 2005): 1) Relationship
management (mutual understanding of organizational objectives, commitment to
collaboration and trust), 2) Conflict handling system (conflict management culture, conflict
handling skills, conflict handling process and conflict monitoring and improvement) 3) Project
management (mutual understanding of the requirements, task allocation, product
specification management and progress monitoring), and 4) Communication (communication
management and information systems used). Some authors have analyzed the contingency
perspective of conflict in projects and organizations (Cameron and Whetten, 2007; De Dreu .
