Conflict in Organizaitons

For this assignment, write an essay that is a minimum of three pages in length. In this essay, discuss a specific conflict that you observed in an organization, and analyze the behaviors and outcomes of that conflict. The example may be any organization of which you are or were a member. Incorporate at least three library resources to support the ideas you present in your analysis. These sources may be drawn from the unit readings or from other sources in the Waldorf Online Library. You should cite these three sources, in addition to the socio-cognitive systems learning model. Include the following elements in your analysis. In your paper, please use headings that correspond to these elements.

1. Conflict Scenario

Describe the conflict situation. What happened leading up to this conflict situation? What happened as the conflict occurred? Describe, in detail, the words that were exchanged, the nonverbal communication, and any other actions related to this conflict.

2. Analysis of Conflict Behaviors

Using the elements of the socio-cognitive systems learning model, analyze the behaviors (i.e., words, nonverbal communication, and other actions) demonstrated in this conflict example.

3. Analysis of Conflict Outcomes

Using the elements of the socio-cognitive systems learning model, analyze the outcomes of the conflict.

4. Analysis of Values and Deep Assumptions

Discuss the clues you observed that may indicate the values and deep, underlying assumptions of the people involved. How are these values and deep assumptions related to the behaviors that you observed?

5. Conclusion

Was the conflict resolved, or did it continue to fester? Explain any conclusions you drew from your analysis.

Use APA style. As with all your work at Waldorf University, be sure to cite all your sources and follow Waldorf’s Academic

Integrity Policy.
