Relational conflict at work is
        inevitable.
   Relational conflict at work is so
 common that you may experience it
     everyday of your work life.
What is relational conflict?
• Relational conflict occurs when others prevent
  you from reaching your goals.
• Relational conflict is an expressed struggle
  between at least two interdependent
  individuals.
Why do coworkers struggle with one
           another?
• Some examples of relational conflict can be a
  coworker who plays his radio too loud.
  Another example can be a coworker who
  always arrives late to meetings, and a more
  severe example is a boss who has done sexual
  harassment to an employee.
Expressed struggle
• Its important to let others know when they
  are blocking your goals. Express your
  frustrations or concerns, they will not read
  your mind.
Interdependence
• As a working professional we will always
  depend on those around us. Conflicts arise
  because we depend on our co workers to
  complete projects and tasks.
Perceived incompatible goals
• We have conflict because we may not have
  the same goals as our coworkers, or we may
  have the same goals but with different means
  of achieving them. An example from our text
  on page 127 is a store manager resolving a
  conflict with a customer by offering her a free
  pair of jeans, yet the district manager does
  not allow this. Both managers want a satisfied
  customer, but the district manager will not
  allow the store manager to achieve the task.
Perceived scarce rewards and
               resources
• This is a lack of reward or credit for your work,
  or the lack of having the right resources to
  complete the tasks asked of you.
Everyone has a different conflict style
• High concern for people: those who care more
  about meeting other peoples needs than their
  own.
• High concern for task: These people care about
  output or production. For example a high
  concern for task person with a coffee shop would
  be concerned about how many cups of coffee
  they sold.
   Within these categories there are different styles
  of conflict:
  Avoider, accommodator, competitor, collaborator,
   and compromiser.
Managing Relational Conflict at Work
• The PUGGS approach to conflict on page 135 is:
• 1. Describing the problem: Use Descriptive “I” language to
  describe what the other person is doing that is bothering
  you.
• 2. Achieving Understanding: Make sure the other person
  understands what the problem is.
• 3. Identifying Goals: Identify individual needs and common
  goals.
• 4. Brainstorming Solutions: offer all solutions that come to
  mind, without evaluation.
• 5. Selecting the Best Solution: Choose the solution that
  best meets all parties
Successful managers learn how to
     resolve interpersonal conflict
• As we have learned in our course, a good
  leader uses communication to influence
  people.
• As a discussion question I would like to know
  if you were a manager, how would you use
  communication to resolve conflict between
  your employees.
