INTERCULTURAL CONFLICT MANAGEMENT: A MINDFUL APPROACH

 By Stella Ting-Toomey - Intercultural miscommunication and misattributions often underscore intercultural conflict. Individuals coming from two contrastive cultural communities bring with them different value assumptions, expectations, verbal and nonverbal habits, and interaction scripts that influence the conflict process. Intercultural conflict is defined as the perceived or actual incompatibility of values, norms, processes, or goals between a minimum of two cultural parties over content, identity, relational, and procedural issues.

Hocker and Wilmot / Conflict Mapping - Comprehensive Assessment Guides

 By NA - Conflict assessment is the process of systematic collection of information about the dynamics of a conflict. The guides stress open-ended, participant-based data as the path to specifying conflict processes. Such approaches are particularly useful for third parties such as intervention agents and students wishing to study a particular conflict. As a party to the conflict, one can use the guides to collect information from himself or herself and the other party about the conflict. In either case, one needs to use primary information from the parties -for they are the ones who created and maintain the conflict. (Added: 13-Oct-2003 Hits: 1611 )

These proven techniques show you how to prevent patterns of defensiveness and increase workplace collaboration. (Added: 10-Mar-2003 Hits: 2048 )

Managing Administrative Conflicts - Research

 By Garee Earnest - Dealing with conflict between and among individuals can be a frustrating and uncomfortable experience for administrators. When conflict occurs, "strong feelings are aroused, objectivity flies out the window, egos are threatened, and personal relationships are placed in jeopardy" (Schmidt and Tannenbaum, 1960). To be successful administrators, Extension directors and district directors must be able to manage conflict situations effectively. This requires using different conflict management styles, depending upon the conflict situation faced. (Added: 13-Oct-2003 Hits: 1479 )

When to Engage, When Not to Engage

 By Daniel Robin - Ever notice that with some people you can sit and rationally discuss how differently you see things, and nobody gets hurt? Yet, with others, the small stuff quickly becomes big stuff. What makes the difference? When you think back on the successful disagreements you've had in your life (the ones that ended without loss of hair or dignity, or that actually led to a creative solution), what do they have in common? Because conflict is such a "growth industry," healthy workplace relationships are as essential as they are unusual. This article will highlight tools to help us decide when to dive in and when to observe, detach, or carefully step around the "hornet's nest." (Added: 10-Mar-2003 Hits: 1557 )
