Abstract
Workplace communication, like any communication, is basic to the interaction and subsequent performance of the participants. This paper looks at what causes conflict in workplace communication and how employees experience this stress.
From the Paper
"Workplace communication is different from social communication due to the contrived hierarchy one finds in the workplace. One communicates in the workplace with employees who are in subordinate positions as well as with those who occupy equal or superior positions within the company. Each type of communication requires different levels of formality. Like any form of communication, workplace communication has differing styles. Styles of communication, coupled with the workplace hierarchy, create interesting and stressful results. Finally, workplace diversity leads to communication problems and stress. As the workplace becomes more diversified, methods of communication must become more precise. Let us first approach this subject from the subordinate employees? point of view."

Abstract
This paper, written from the perspective of the manager at a shipping company, discusses the best methods available to resolving a conflict between two employees who are potentially responsible for a shipping problem that could cause the shipping company lost production dollars. The author concludes that the best workplace conflict negotiation tactic in this particular case is not to assign blame and enact disciplinary procedures on either employee, but rather to attempt to improve the communication and understanding between the two employees directly involved in the conflict. It is believed that this approach will realize a collaborative solution and form a more cohesive team-oriented bond among the employees.
From the Paper
"In this case I will be assuming the role of direct supervisor for the operations department, which oversees the shipping and manufacturing functions at the organization. Each of the employees involved in the case study analyzed will report directly to me, and therefore I will be responsible for developing a solution to their problems and enforcing disciplinary action if necessary."

Abstract
This paper shows the need for today's managers to be experts at managing conflict in the workplace. The author cites statistics that show how much of a manager's time is spent resolving conflicts. The paper briefly reviews Peg Pickering's book "Managing Conflict" as an example of a tool for the workplace. The author cites Pickering's description of different types of conflict and skills for overcoming these problems. The paper's author then describes his own research on Pickering and why it is interesting that her book is so popular. The author concludes that self-help books work to a point, yet people are complex beings and therefore skilled management requires in-depth problem solving skills, not simply works from the popular press.
From the Paper
"Pickering then proceeds to discuss the types of conflicts (internal, interpersonal, retaliate, dominate, isolate and cooperate); ways to identify the conflict stages (everyday concerns and disputes, more significant challenges, and overt battles; conflict management styles (collaboration, obliging, dominating, avoiding, and compromising) and what personality traits influence them; constructive management style; importance of communication; emotional aspect; the intervention team and, for good measure, how to deal with an angry customer."

Abstract
This paper discusses the common phenomenon of conflicts in the workplace. The paper contends that conflict resolution and management are the key words these days because of the intensely competitive and diverse workforce of today, yet it appears that most companies hardly pay any attention to conflict resolution training and, thus, are not properly prepared to handle such situations. The paper presents a real-life example of workplace conflict in order to illustrate the issue.
From the Paper
"In any interpersonal conflict, it is extremely important to bring disputants together. The firm needed to bring Joshua and Debra together so a channel of communication could be established between the two. Since there had been practically no communication between the disputants, the situation was getting worse not to mention the toll it was taking on other employees. Bringing the two parties together is important because it helps both sides see the conflict from other angles and they can also vent their feelings openly. Most of the time, people have pre-conceived notions about their colleagues but open communication can help them resolve some misunderstandings."

Abstract
This paper offers a detailed description of a personal experience of conflict in the workplace. The paper then analyzes that conflict situation in terms of Beth Roy's five domains of power.
From the Paper
"Looking back on the conflict that I earlier described as being between John and James within the context of my one-time place of employ, a number of things occur to me. I am struck by my own limited active role in the debate, that is to say that I had no active role in the conflict. I am also struck by the rapidity of the escalation of the debate. A minor conflict between two employees, with its roots in a parking dispute, erupted into an argumentative conflict that quickly consumed the very large staff of the place where I worked. Mostly, though, it strikes me just how ineffective the management was in defusing the situation and how the manager's poor use of his de facto power in the situation actually made matters worse instead of calming the situation. This reflection will examine some of these points of..."

Abstract
This paper explains that conflict is an unavoidable situation that all individuals will face in the workplace. The author points out that mismanaged or overlooked conflicts can lead to a poor work environment, which can hinder major projects and cause delays in employee output that ultimately affect the end users. The paper indicates that managers must constantly monitor a work environment and remain aware of changes that can potentially lead to conflict. The author concludes that, if conflict does arise, it must be handled during its infancy before it evolves into an uncontrollable dilemma.
From the Paper
"One particular supervisor comes to mind when I think about this issue and the outcome was far from desirable. The department was making a complete overhaul and switching from paper medical records to a complete online health information database. During the conversion process, the supervisor never addressed the issue of job elimination or layoffs, sparking horrendous hearsay throughout the department. Small, unattended conflict escalated into an uncontrollable dilemma; thus causing many seasoned employees to transfer and leaving the department in disarray."

Abstract
Conflict resolution suggests reduction, elimination, or termination of conflict. This paper explains how managing conflict however, involves designing effective strategies to minimize the dysfunctions of conflict and maximize the constructive functions of conflict. It looks at how this approach has even been shown to enhance the learning and effectiveness within organizations.
From the Paper
"With the world in the midst of a ?war on terrorism? few would disagree with Tidwell?s view of conflict and the need to win rather than resolve differences in the appropriate circumstances. Many victims of the Bali bombing have recently watched their perpetrator receive justice and perhaps feel they have had a win in some small way despite their great losses. Tidwell?s view however, falls short of offering a way forward for other situations of conflict, where winning may not be in the interests of others or even the individual themselves."

Abstract
The paper discusses three main views of organizational conflict: traditional, human relations and interactionist.

Outline:
Introduction
Background Information - What Is Conflict?
Analysis
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The traditional view sees conflict as bad, and as such it should be avoided at all cost. With this view an organization is treated as a static entity, and the components of the organization are expected to fit perfectly, so that there is constant stability - hence conflict is inherently 'bad', and results in an actions that are contrary to the achievement of the organizational goals. With this view, conflict signifies that there is some process or procedure that is not clearly defined and the necessary action is to have further elaboration, and conflict is remedied by being structured away."

From the Paper
"Introduction
Conflict is an inevitable result of individuals coming together and working in groups. Conflict can arise between individuals, between groups within a department, between departments, between divisions and between companies. Through conflict, new ideas can be presented and explored, but conflict also carries within it the seeds of lost productivity and of wasted time. Effective managers need to recognize sources of conflict and learn to use conflict to benefit their organization. At the same time, these managers must not permit conflict to become the rule within their organization, or the creativity that comes with some disagreement could well erupt into chaos. This research examines the role of conflict within the workplace, and considers tools which supervisors can use to manage conflict among workers."

From the Paper
"One of the problems encountered in the workplace today is increased levels of stress. Work related stress contributes to a variety of problems both for the individual experiencing stress and for the organization for which he or she works. The problems can range from reduced performance to open violence in the workplace. One of the common methods organizations are using to address, or prevent, problems of this type is to identify stressful situations and develop new methods of dealing with conflict and stress in the workplace. Such efforts are not always effective, though, and the reality is that the requirements of a given job may involve increased stress, in which case only minimal changes can be made in the job structure to address the problem. In any case, companies may need to change the way business is done to reduce stress, and they may also.."

From the Paper
"In the area of one's career, one may be under- or over-promoted. Too much responsibility creates as much stress as not enough. Job security, from fear of redundancy either from the state of the economy, or a lack of tasks or work to do, lack of career development opportunities and overall job satisfaction, may be factors that create stress about one's career."

Abstract
This paper examines the article, "Technology Increases Workplace Stress, Tipping the Scales of Work-Life Balance", by the Kensington Technology Group, a study of home and office workers, and how their lives and professional careers are impacted by technology and stress. It looks at how their study confirms that workplace stress has increased as technological advances have increased and indicates that workers are now allowing workplace stress to invade their personal lives. It also includes an examination of the ethical issues inherent with workplace stress.
From the Paper
"Another source of stress is attempting to maintain a balance between work and home life. Kensington's survey discovered "54 percent of workers feel that trying to maintain a work-life balance is a great source of additional stress at work" ("Technology," 1999). While it seems more employers are attempting to balance work and personal lives, there are still a myriad of ways for technology to intrude on personal time. Email, voicemail, cell phones, and laptop computers all allow workers to take their work literally home with them, and many do this on a regular basis. They may be away from the office, but they are still tied to it, and so, their family time suffers. This technology supports a mobile workforce, and often, the workforce is expected to perform for more than the 40-hour workweek."
