From the Paper:
"At the nursing unit level, the principal sources of interpersonal conflict are personality differences, group allegiances, social exclusion, and competition for preferred schedules and shifts (Marquis & Huston, 2008). None of those types of conflict is amenable to avoidance, accommodation, smoothing, or competition; all of those approaches to conflict resolution are more likely to perpetuate and exacerbate the underlying problems and magnify the interpersonal conflicts emerging from them. Instead, health care institutions and administrators must set and enforce strict policies designed to minimize the development of interpersonal conflict capable of compromising the quality and safety of health care by undermining the effectiveness of nursing units (Marquis & Huston, 2008)."Negotiation and conflict resolution at the nursing unit level should emphasize administrative fairness and institutional expectations of mutual support and professional collaboration among coworkers (Rosengren, Bondas, Nordholm, et al., 2010). In principle, that requires addressing the typical sources of interpersonal conflict in advance, before they actually occur, and outlining the expectations of supervisors and administrators. A carrot-and-stick approach in that regard would involve establishing an institutional culture in which nursing units receive conflict awareness and avoidance training in connection with a zero-tolerance perspective on the part of administrators."
