wants
52. Reducing Conflict (Cont.)
• Win-lose methods

57. International Aspects of
Conflict in Organizations

• Cultures that emphasize collaboration, cooperation, conformity
• Negatively value conflict
• Many Asian and Latin American countries; Portugal, Greece, Turkey
58. International Aspects of
Conflict in Organizations (Cont.)
• No direct research evidence
• Cultural differences imply different functional conflict levels
59. International Aspects of
Conflict in Organizations (Cont.)
• Cross-cultural research has dealt with intergroup processes
• Collaborative and cooperative cultures expect little conflict during
intergroup interactions
• Favor suppression of conflict with little discussion about people's
feelings
• Felt conflict likely part of some conflict episodes but hidden from
public view
60. International Aspects of
Conflict in Organizations (Cont.)
• Managers from an individualistic country operating in a less
individualistic country
• Acceptable to express feelings during a conflict episode
• Suppression of feelings could baffle them
• Increasing conflict can confuse local people
• Almost immediate dysfunctional results
61. Ethical Issues in
Conflict in Organizations
• Tolerance for conflict
• Manager with a high tolerance for conflict; keeps conflict levels too high for
subordinates
• Should such managers reveal their intentions about desired conflict levels?
• Full disclosure: subordinates could leave the group if conflict levels became
dysfunctionally stressful
• Ethical question applies equally to newly hired employees
62. Ethical Issues in
Conflict in Organizations (Cont.)
• Deliberately increasing conflict is an effort to guide behavior in a
desired direction
• Subtle methods of increasing conflict (forming heterogeneous groups)
connote manipulation
• Full disclosure: manager states his intention to use conflict to generate ideas
and innovation
• If people are free to join a group or not, the ethical issue likely subsides
63. Ethical Issues in
Conflict in Organizations (Cont.)
• Experiencing intrapersonal conflict
• Requests to act against one's moral values
• Observing behavior that one considers unethical
• Reduce intrapersonal conflict
• Report unethical acts
• Transfer to another part of the organization
• Quit
64. Ethical Issues in
Conflict in Organizations (Cont.)
• Different cultures place different values on conflict
• Optimal conflict levels vary among countries
• Lower levels conflict in collectivistic countries than individualistic countries
Should managers honor such values even if their home
country values support higher levels of conflict?
