Intergenerational Conflict

There are two different types of conflicts that could happen in a work place which would be functional and dysfunctional. A functional conflicts is a healthy, constructive disagreement between a groups or individual. A dysfunctional conflict is an unhealthy disagreement that occurs among an individual or groups of employees. A functional conflict will leave employees on a positive note it would only bring awareness to both sides of the issue, improvement of working conditions due to accomplishing solution together, solving issues together to improve overall morale, and making innovation and improvements with an organization. A functional conflict is something everyone is known as a win-win conflict. A dysfunctional conflict stem from emotions and behavioral origins, will have a negative impact for both parties that are having the conflict and the company. Dysfunctional conflicts are commonly known as win-lose conflict (Lombardo, 2003). It is not good for you to try and avoid a work conflict, it only making problems bigger. Work conflicts often happens from communications errors such as poor information, no information and misinformation. Another reason why a work conflict could happen because of emotions. Work place conflicts could emerge in any number of forms but there are some general variety types of conflicts that are repeated on the basis such as conflicts with the boss, conflicts with peers, and

Conflict is part of our human disposition; consequently, it is customary within organizations. “Left unanalyzed and unchecked, it can be a destructive force that consumes time, money and human resources. Learning the various ways that people resolve conflict and expanding their conflict resolution styles can lead to better results” (Sadri, 2012). Within organizations employees have personal beliefs, styles and attitudes, and backgrounds that at times can cause disagreements, inconsistencies and ultimately, conflict. It is the intent of this paper to examine the archetype of conflict as an

Every generation is influenced by its period 's economic, political and social events. From the Great Depression to the civil rights and women 's movements to the advent of television and advanced computer technologies. Thus generational background/situation may also affect the way they work. The key is to be able to effectively address and take advantage of the differences in values and expectations of each generation in the workplace. The current work place consists of four different generations; The Baby Boomers (1946-1964) who are slowly retiring and existing the workforce, The Generation X (1965-1976), The Generation Y or millennia (1977-1997), and the Generation Z who are about to or are just entering the work force. Although these different generations tend to want similar things in a workplace their environment/background has shaped their character, values, and expectations (Hahn 2011).

The corner kick is lobbed into the group of players strategically standing in front of the goal. Each player fights to get to the ball as it reaches closer. The ball is headed straight past the goalie’s hands and into the goal. The fans filled with students, alumni, and aspiring children stand up and cheer for UCLA as they win the championship game. When I was younger, my dream was to get a full ride scholarship to UCLA for soccer. I didn’t know much about college, but I did know that it was expensive. I didn’t want my parents to worry about paying for it and I wanted to be able to do the thing that I loved. That was it, no more and no less. So what happened to that dream? Some student athletes, specifically football and

The generational link has been weakened by organizational changes within society that limit relations between children, teens and their grandparents and other elders outside the family. Respectively, this eliminates culturally beneficial intergenerational experience-based learning opportunities for our youth (Romero, 2016, p. 16). Additionally, an increase in intergenerational informal caregiving arrangements of aging parents have presented the need for a convenient and economic adult day care solution. In response, this report proposes the building of an intergenerational community center in Wildwood, FL. The report describes the projected benefits, amenities, and the intergenerational learning, sports and fitness programs the center will

Conflict is inescapable, having the ability to recognize, understand, and resolve conflicts are important in both personal and professional lives. Myatt (2012) states that conflict in the workplace is unavoidable; if left unresolved, workplace conflict may result in loss of productivity and the creation of barriers that can inhibit creativity, cooperation, and collaboration. It is vital to embrace conflict and address problems through effective conflict-resolution tactics because if not handled appropriately, conflict will escalate. “If not handled properly, conflict may significantly affect employee morale, increase turnover, and even result in litigation, ultimately affecting the overall well-being of

The inequalities of race, social class, and age is a major theme demonstrated in the book To Kill a Mockingbird, written by Harper Lee as well as in modern day society. The segregation of African Americans is a obvious problem in the text. The African Americans were always in different places than the whites and this is still happening in places like schools today. Social class has become a big problem in modern day society and in the text. Each person or family is put into a social class and that behavior is relevant in modern society.

Thank you for sharing your reactions to your genogram. It seems like you have been actively seeking to change the dynamics you experienced with your mother and grandfather so that, those dynamics are not passed down to your children. I think awareness of the dynamics is the first step to overcoming generational dysfunctions. Having the ability to humble oneself and ask for forgiveness from we wrong when we might lose our tempers is an amazing step. In my own life, I have gain more respect and validated when my parents have come to me and apologized for how they reacted to a situation. Even though they are human and not perfect, it is helpful to address issues instead of never talking about them as a family. It is encouraging to hear that you

From a young age, our generation has been told that all races, genders and religions are equal and should be treated as so. I was fortunate to grow up around a diverse group of friends and could see first hand the truth in that statement. Previous generations were never taught that all are equal. The end of the previous generation was in the late 1960’s. This is around the time that blacks and all races were finally gaining equality. Today, we don’t rely on what values we learn as children so much as what our friends and role models believe in. The use of social media has allowed anyone to put their views into writing, and follow the views of others.

The processes by which the effects of stress and trauma experienced in one generation can be transmitted to the subsequent generations involves multiple factors and intersecting pathways (Bombay, Anisman, & Matheson, 2009, 2014; Bowers & Yehuda, 2016; Dekel & Goldblatt, 2008). It is known that adverse experiences in childhood and adulthood may influence the risk for various health and social outcomes in offspring of those who encountered the stressor or trauma directly (Bombay et al., 2009, 2014; Bowers & Yehuda, 2016; Dekel & Goldblatt, 2008). For example, the experiences of parents have been shown to be linked with the way their children appraise certain situations, including

SUMMARY OF THE ARTICLE “UNDERSTANDING AND MANAGING GENERATIONAL DIFFERENCES IN THE WORK PLACE” ( Cited from Kapoor and Solomon 2011)

The generational divide of the LGBTQIA+ community is a topic that is rarely considered, though prevalent. To outside parties who don’t understand queer community politics, it may seem like they are a homogenous collective of people. Of course there are always inter community issues, such as whether heteroromantic asexuals belong in LGBT discussion or what exactly defines a transgender person. Aside from these issues, it is easy to see the community as a whole as connected with the same end goals and ideas. They all want and focus on getting marriage equality and to be able to adopt and be able to share insurance with our partners. However, upon more research into the LGBT community, a generational gap becomes prevalent, with the reasons behind

Conflict or disagreement over the range of issues has become inherent aspect of modern organisational life. People from different cultural and education background work in an organisation. People working in an organisation may possess different goal and interest. People working in organisation may tend to different over a range of issues including organisational politics, organisational procedure, personal preference or political preference. It is also argued that conflict is essential characteristics of organisational life. Role of manager is paramount with regard to negotiating the conflict that arises in organisational life (http://www.sagepub.com/). Often lack of

Systematic and institutionalized conflict management has become a natural pursuit of top-level managers in organizations. The questions that challenge social scientists and practitioners alike are: How can we institutionalize effective ways of dealing with conflict throughout the entire organization? and What will make effective conflict management in an organization sustainable?" Liu, Leigh, Anne; Inlow, Lin; Feng, Jing, Betty; (2014). "Studies on the institutionalization of other organizational structures and practices (Edelman 1990, 1992; Sutton; Dobbin, Meyer, and Scott 1994), cultural framing (Hirsch 1986), and change in meaning systems (Kelly and Dobbin 1998), well as in an inter play of practices actors

Conflict is an occurrence in virtually any organization, regardless of how large or small it may be. It is exceedingly difficult to get people to agree with one another about everything all the time, especially when they are competing for the same resources (Tsang, 2012, p. 84). This difficult is naturally exacerbated when there are stratifications between people, which frequently occurs in organizations. Organizations may have different categories of employers such as those in sale, marketing, finance, human resources, etc. The three main views of conflict which also play a significant part in the resolving of conflict are the traditional, the human relations, and interactionist views. There are points of similarities and differences between all of these views.
