Conflict management
The document summarizes a session on conflict management presented at Delhi University. [1] It defines conflict as antagonistic interaction where one party tries to thwart the goals of another. [2] It then discusses various causes of conflict including disagreements over work, personality clashes, threats to status, and differing perceptions. [3] The document outlines five strategies for handling conflicts: withdrawing, smoothing over, compromising, attacking, and supportive confrontation.
Team ldrshp sujata
This document discusses teams and leadership. It defines a team as a group that works together to achieve shared goals. Effective team leaders organize the team, set clear goals, make decisions collectively, empower members, and promote teamwork. Team effectiveness is measured by innovation, efficiency, quality, and satisfaction. Culture is learned beliefs, values, and traditions shared by a group. Globalization has increased cultural diversity, challenging leaders to manage diverse organizations. Prejudice and ethnocentrism can hinder leadership if not addressed. The document also outlines nine cultural dimensions and six global leadership behaviors.
Privilege, Oppression, and Race Understanding
The document discusses the concepts of privilege, oppression, and race. It provides definitions and perspectives on these topics from various experts and sources. Regarding privilege, it notes that privilege exists when certain groups are denied access to resources and advantages simply due to their social group membership rather than individual actions. On oppression, it defines it as a system that maintains advantages and disadvantages based on social groups, operating on individual, institutional, and cultural levels. The document also discusses the cycle of oppression and how stereotypes become internalized and institutionalized. Finally, it explores understandings of race from both biological and sociological perspectives.
organisational culture
This document discusses influencing cultural changes in organizations. It defines organizational culture and describes four power models of culture: autocratic, bureaucratic, technocratic, and democratic. It then discusses Hofstede's four dimensions of culture: individualism, power distance, uncertainty avoidance, and masculinity vs femininity. Six concerns that derive cultural dimensions are also outlined: relationship with nature, orientation to the environment, time orientation, orientation to collectivity, orientation to sex differences, and orientation to power. The document concludes by discussing adopting cultural changes in a way that does not affect an organization's values and traditions.
Issues in Group Decision Making
The document discusses several issues that can arise in group decision making including social loafing, conformity, and groupthink. Social loafing occurs when individuals put in less effort working in a group compared to individually. Conformity is changing one's views to fit the group, which can be informative or normative. Groupthink is a mode of thinking where a cohesive group prioritizes unanimity over evaluating alternatives realistically, which can lead to poor decisions. Factors that can contribute to groupthink are insulation, lack of diversity, strong leadership, and stress.
Organizational Behavior
This document discusses groups and teams from several perspectives. It defines a group as two or more people interacting to achieve common goals, and identifies reasons why people form groups, including security, status, self-esteem, and goal achievement. It also defines a team as a group that interacts, is mutually accountable, and sees itself as a unit within an organization. The document compares groups and teams, noting that teams typically outperform individuals. It discusses factors that influence group and team effectiveness, such as size, cohesiveness, decision-making processes, and leadership.
Groups and Individuals the consequences of belongings - Analysis
This document provides a formal analysis of the chapter "Groups and Individuals: The Consequences of Belonging". It summarizes that the chapter focuses on understanding the role of norms in group functioning, the nature of cooperation and conflict, and factors that affect individuals' concerns about performance evaluations and fairness. Membership in groups can provide benefits like self-knowledge and social change, but also costs such as loss of freedom and demands on time and resources. A person's behavior in a group depends on their role, status, the group's norms, and whether the group is cohesive.
Discrimination on the basic of caste and gender
A suffocating patriarchal shadow hangs over the lives of women throughout India. From all sections, castes and classes of society, women are victim of its repressive, controlling effects. Those subjected to the heaviest burden of discrimination are from the Dalit or “Scheduled Castes”, known in less liberal democratic times as the “Untouchables”. The name may have been banned but pervasive negative attitudes of mind remain, as do the extreme levels of abuse and servitude experienced by Dalit women. They experience multiple levels of discrimination and exploitation, much of which is barbaric, degrading, appallingly violent and totally inhumane.

Sexual Prejudice and Attitudes toward Same-Sex Parented Families
This document summarizes a presentation on sexual prejudice and attitudes toward same-sex parented families. It defines key terms like stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination. It also outlines individual differences that are related to higher sexual prejudice like social conservatism, religiosity, and beliefs about the origins of homosexuality. Research finds people evaluate same-sex couples less favorably than different-sex couples as parents and anticipate more problems for children with same-sex parents. Finally, the document discusses the social and psychological impacts of sexual prejudice, including minority stress and reduced well-being and family stability.
Understanding the individual
Individuals are attracted to groups for various reasons related to the group's activities, goals, and membership. People may join groups because they enjoy the same activities as other members or are interested in the group's goals. Some individuals are motivated to join a group simply for the prestige of membership. Additional factors that shape individual behavior in groups include culture, gender, sexual orientation, and disabilities. An individual's self-concept and perception of their role in a group impacts how they interact with and relate to other members. Cultural dimensions like individualism versus collectivism also influence group dynamics and decision making approaches.
Org COm- small group communication
The document discusses small group communication and formation. It describes that a group is a collection of people with a common purpose or goal who communicate with each other. There are different types of groups such as formal, advisory, creative, and support groups. The document also outlines several models of group development stages including forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. Additional stages discussed are orientation, conflict, emergence, and reinforcement. Key features of groups mentioned are togetherness, expectations about performance, and developing group norms and culture.
Conflict
The document discusses the nature and types of conflict. It defines conflict as occurring when individuals or groups have incompatible goals and interfere with each other's goal attainment. Competition is described as a situation where goals are incompatible but there is no interference. The traditional view saw conflict as avoidable and disruptive, while the current view recognizes conflict as inevitable and that moderate levels can enhance performance. Conflict is categorized as functional and dysfunctional, and the stages and levels of conflict within individuals, between individuals, and among groups are outlined.

PSYC 1113 Chapter 12
Social psychology is the study of how people think, feel, and behave in social situations. Some key topics in social psychology include social cognition, person perception, attribution, attitudes, stereotypes, prejudice, conformity, obedience, and helping behaviors. Research methods like Asch's conformity experiments and Milgram's obedience studies provide insights into how social influences can impact individuals.
Student Services: Race, Class, Gender: Student Identity Development
This workshop discussed the content and instructional methodology of Harlem Educational Activity Fund's social identity class for high school students.
Collectivism versus individualism
The document discusses individualism and collectivism, defining them as cultural dimensions that influence relationships. Individualism refers to independence and prioritizing personal goals, whereas collectivism emphasizes interdependence, loyalty to groups, and group harmony. Some advantages of individualism include valuing uniqueness and self-sufficiency, while disadvantages include difficulties forming social bonds. Collectivism's advantages include community support systems, though over-reliance on groups can enable laziness. The document contrasts individualist and collectivist values and attributes, and provides examples of how each orientation shapes child-rearing patterns.

What Is Conflict
Conflict is defined as an expressed struggle between two or more interdependent people who perceive incompatible goals, scarce resources, or interference in achieving their goals. There are four key elements of conflict: an expressed struggle, between at least two interdependent people, with incompatible goals, scarce resources, or interference. Conflict arises due to differences in personality, perception, information, culture, power, or influence between group members that cause incompatible goals or a struggle over scarce resources. While conflict should not always be avoided, not all conflict can be resolved.

Conflict
There are five main types of conflict in stories: character vs. character; character vs. nature; character vs. society; character vs. self; and character vs. the divine. The first three are external conflicts that involve opposition between a character and something outside themselves, while the last two are internal conflicts that occur within a character's mind. Conflict is essential to any story as it provides the struggles and problems that drive the plot forward.
Organization Behavior - Foundation of Group Behavior
This document defines groups and outlines models of group development. It discusses how groups are classified as formal or informal and describes stages of group development including forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. It also examines key group properties such as roles, norms, status, size, cohesiveness, and diversity. Finally, it covers group decision making processes and phenomena like groupthink and groupshift that can influence decisions.

There are three types of selves that people present: the authentic self which reflects how they see themselves, the ideal self which is how they wish to be seen, and the tactical self which is a favorable image presented to others. People use self-presentation techniques like self-disclosure to claim an authentic identity or managing appearances to control how they are perceived. Prejudice involves prejudgments and negative feelings towards members of social groups based on attributes like race, gender, age and can be reduced through empathy, laws promoting equality, anti-prejudice social norms, awareness of inconsistent beliefs, and contact with other groups.
Psychic Prisons Lecture
This document discusses Clifford Geertz's concept of "psychic webs" and how organizations can act as psychic prisons that trap individuals. It explores various ways organizations relate to unconscious forces like patriarchal families, death, anxiety, and archetypes. Various theorists are mentioned like Freud, Foucault, and Taylor and how they view control and the unconscious in organizations. The strengths and limitations of viewing organizations as psychic prisons are discussed as well as how understanding this concept can provide insights but also risks ignoring other real factors in leading organizations.
The Psychic Prison Metaphor
The document discusses the psychic prison metaphor, which depicts how people can become trapped in limited ways of thinking and perceiving reality. It originated with philosopher Plato's allegory of the cave, where prisoners saw only shadows on the cave wall. The metaphor is now used in organizational behavior, with examples like groupthink leading to poor decision making. Understanding organizations through concepts like unconscious desires, family dynamics, and symbols can provide insights, though it also has limitations like neglecting conscious ideological factors.

Psychic Prisons Lecture
This document discusses Clifford Geertz's concept of "psychic webs" and how organizations can act as psychic prisons that trap individuals. It explores various ways organizations relate to unconscious forces like patriarchal families, death, anxiety, and archetypes. Various theorists are mentioned like Freud, Foucault, and Taylor and how they view control and the unconscious in organizations. The strengths and limitations of viewing organizations as psychic prisons are discussed as well as how understanding this concept can provide insights but also risks ignoring other real factors in leading organizations.

Organization as a Psychic prison
The document discusses the metaphor of organizations as "psychic prisons" and how it can help explain unconscious dynamics in organizations. It describes how organizations can act as prisons that trap people through unconscious myths, stories and defense mechanisms that help control fear and anxiety. Several specific "psychic prisons" are outlined, including those relating to repressed sexuality, patriarchal families, death and immortality, anxiety, and an aversion to change. The metaphor's strengths are that it helps explore hidden meanings and patterns of control in organizations, while its weaknesses are that it can overlook the very real constraints of actual prisons.
Organization as flux and transformation
Gareth Morgan viewed organizations as constantly changing systems that self-organize and renew over time. He proposed four logics of organizational change: autopoiesis, where organizations maintain their identity through self-reference; chaos and complexity, where order emerges from randomness; mutual causality, where individuals shape systems through feedback loops; and dialectical change, where opposites evolve through tension. Morgan argued that understanding organizations as constantly changing systems could help managers facilitate emergent change.
Morgans organizations as organisms
1. Organizations are open systems that depend on their environment to survive and must adapt to changes in order to grow.
2. Different types of organizations, or "species", thrive in different environments, such as bureaucratic organizations in stable environments and adhocracies in turbulent settings.
3. Contingency theory posits that there is no single best way to organize and the appropriate structure depends on factors like the task and environment. Management must ensure a good fit between the organization and its context.
Organizations As Political Systems
This document discusses organizations as political systems, focusing on interests, conflict, and power. It defines different types of political systems like autocracy, bureaucracy, and representative democracy. It describes how politics occurs through ongoing conflicts of interest between tasks, careers, and external interests. These conflicts can be personal, interpersonal, or between groups competing over scarce resources. Power, which is how conflicts are ultimately resolved, comes from formal authority, control of resources, rules and regulations, decision powers, knowledge and information, boundaries, technology, and interpersonal behaviors as well as structural factors. The relationship between management and workers can be seen through unitary, pluralist, or Marxist perspectives. Conflicts are handled through competing, collaborating, compromising,
Decision Making & Problem Solving
This chapter discusses decision making and problem solving. It outlines five sources of decision complexity for modern managers, three common decision traps, and the differences between programmed and non-programmed decisions. Group decision making is discussed along with tools for improving creativity and problem solving such as overcoming mental locks, using a four step creative process, and fishbone diagrams to identify causes. Knowledge management is presented as a way to improve decision quality through sharing tacit and explicit knowledge.

Moving beyond fear to collaboration action: the uncommon recipe for planning ...
[National Park Service Rivers, Trails & Conservation Assistance Program]
There is hope for planners and resource managers who are trying to balance the competing interests of polarized groups. Drawing from many disciplines including community planning, mediation, facilitation, conflict resolution, social identity theory, neuroscience, and principles of non-violent communication, Joy Lujan is helping polarized communities move beyond their fears and find collaborative solutions to managing shared resources.
In river management planning processes, people everywhere have the same basic needs that must be met to move beyond fear, demands, and animosity to achieve successful outcomes. Designing planning processes that meet these core needs will help people work together more effectively and result in more implementable, broadly supported plans that address people’s most pressing interests while balancing resource stewardship.
When people perceive themselves as being in competition over how to use or manage a river resource much of the behavior people exhibit comes from fear that they are going to lose something they value or that something is going to be done to them. Without carefully designed processes, people become more and more entrenched in their positions. The most effective processes make it possible to for extremely polarized, deeply entrenched interests to engage in planning processes that moves them to a place of higher thinking and shared solutions.
As important as well designed processes, knowing how to effectively manage difficult internal, interpersonal, and group dynamics can be the key to whether a collaborative process is successful. This session will examine some common pitfalls at an individual level, at an interpersonal level and at the group level so that participants can better understand and effectively navigate difficult situations in collaboration.
Social psychology
Social psychology is the scientific study of how people's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are influenced by others. Social psychologists explain human behavior as a result of the interaction between mental states and immediate social context. Social roles, attitudes, relationships, and groups influence people to act in ways they may not alone through social norms, rules, and expectations. Groups can lead to conformity, groupthink, and influence behaviors and decision making through leadership, conflict, and cohesion. Prejudice arises from various sources and reducing it requires understanding its origins and unconscious nature.
PPT Small Group Communication.ppt
Small group communication involves interactions between 3-9 people connected by a common purpose. Key aspects include mutual influence, shared identity, and interdependence. Groups form for various reasons like affection, inclusion, and control.

Groups face several threats to their effectiveness, including groupthink, social loafing, and risky shift. [1] Groupthink occurs when the desire to conform leads to defective decision making, symptoms include rationalizing and self-censorship. [2] Social loafing is when individuals exert less effort working in a group, caused by factors like lack of accountability. [3] Risky shift refers to groups taking higher risks than individuals due to diffused responsibility for outcomes.
