Notes On Conflict Management Report

After reviewing the data it is apparent the promotional rate of women in managerial positions when compared to the men is disproportional to the size of the population. This shows disparate treatment, the company hires women, but women do not promote at the same pace as men. This shows strong evidence of discrimination and if not resolved will lead to a violation of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

My mother, who I will refer to as “The Woman,” was a Walmart employee for 13 years. “Hello, how are you?” she always asked as customers entered the door. Many stared at her as if she was a female alien. Yet, she continued to smile. Many would pat her on the head and spoke to her slowly, because they believed her wheelchair made her intellectually inapt. Yet, she continued to smile. Many yelled at her, accusing her of racial appropriation, for she does not look or act African American. Yet, she continued to smile. Inside, she understood these customers did not know her superiority over them. She understood they did not know she is a single mother of two girls, works day and night to provide for her children and has the education

Even though Sarah have not yet encountered sexual harassment or other discrimination litigation problems in her current job, such cases were very common in several other organizations that she has worked for.

The information presented about these laws, in her current organization was printed on a poster and posted in the

In the Carbado and Gulati article, A Black woman (single mother) named Mary is secretively discriminated against not only because of the color of her skin or her gender, but how she presents herself in the work force. Mary was up for promotion but was denied and created a case in court with the hopes of finding out why she never got partnership. There were four Black women working with her at the

Some of the pros of having the religious status around the capitol building would be expressing the religious diversity within the state. It would also be a moral compass for the legislatures. Lastly, it would show that all religions are equal in the eyes of that state. Some of the cons would be two statuses with contradicting religions, like Christianity and Satanism, could end up right beside each other and cause an up roar among the people. Plus, there would never be an end to all the statues that need to be made because there are just too many religions. Finally, the Constitution states to keep religion away from state affairs, so the statues may violate those amendments. If I had to decide a how to resolve the conflict, I would remove the statue of Jesus and try to keep religion away from the government. The other possible solution would to provide statues for every religion.

Maria alleges that the company is engaging in discriminatory practices, however, the company states that Maria has had disciplinary action against her regarding attendance, she is loud and aggressive with co-workers and that the ability to clear communication was an imperative element of the position.

Restifo, Roscigno and Qian (2013) introduced an exploration study that indicated evident holes that exist for women in light of gender and race. The center of the study was discrimination inside of the organization. The outcomes demonstrated that discrimination influences women's elevation to upper and senior executive/administration positions. African American women encountered a larger amount of discrimination, particularly with respect to executive level positions (Restifo et al., 2013).

As nurses, it is imperative that we have skills to deal with conflict we encounter throughout the day. Some conflicts are easily handled with simple solutions; other disagreements can persist for weeks or even months and never be handled in a proper way to resolve the situation. The later kind of situation can create resentment, anger, and animosity between employees or colleagues. In this paper I will describe a conflict situation with resolution strategies used by the confronter, discuss other ways to resolve the conflict, and discuss the conflict theory most beneficial to use with a diverse group of people.

1) Compare and Contrast the order and conflict models of social systems. The two models of society that are the basic relationship of society is order and conflict. The order model that is also known as functionalism, attributes to societies with the characteristics of cohesion, consensus, cooperation, reciprocity, stability, and persistence. Basically the parts of the system are in harmony with each other, and if something intrudes this order, the parts will create a new stable order.

The costs of conflict are well-documented - high turnover, grievances and lawsuits, absenteeism, divorce, dysfunctional families, prejudice, fear. What many people don't realize is that well-managed conflict can actually be a force for positive change.

Discrimination continues to run rampant throughout organizations in both the United States and worldwide. The Supreme Court case, Dukes vs. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., dealt with 1.5 million current and former female Wal-Mart employees that claim that they had been a victim of gender discrimination. The ensuing pages will discuss the specific issues that the plaintiffs encountered, followed by suggestions from a human resource manager’s stand point in rectifying adverse impact within the Wal-Mart organization.

In this case study we will be analyzing a conflict between coworkers from "Not on My Sabbath" by Joy Koesten. The situation involves a woman, Joan, who has been highly successful in the agency in which she works. A problem arises between her and her coworker/superior, Sue, who is seemingly jealous of Joan's quick success. Sue ends up making a change to Joan's job description that conflicts with her religious practices. We will be analyzing their goals, styles, tactics, and approaches to this conflict.

Alper, S., Tjosvold, D., & Law, K. S. (2000). Conflict management, efficacy, and performance in organizational teams. Personnel Psychology, 53(3), 625-642. This study looked at the management of conflict and linked it empirically with organizational team and efficacy research. There were sixty-one teams with nearly 500 employees studied, all belonging to a leading manufacturer of electronic products. A structural equation analysis was used to show that a cooperative approach to conflict is more effective than a competitive approach to same. Making use of autonomy can also make a person or a team more productive.
