Assignment 2: Conflict Resolution

Due Week 6 and worth 150 points Often conflicts start in the workplace because of the perception by  employees that their supervisor is not treating them fairly or is  showing favoritism to another employee. How the employee or supervisor  handles this perception will determine how the dispute is  resolved. Research an employee dispute from the past 6 months for this  assignment. This can be a dispute between a group of employees and  management or a dispute between one employee and another.

1. Propose ways that the negotiation process could alleviate or mitigate conflict in the workplace.
2. Determine the advantages and disadvantages of a one-on-one approach in resolving the conflict from the scenario.
3. Create a scenario where the type of conflict you created would need  to go to mediation. Determine the advantages and disadvantages of a  mediation approach.
4. Examine three (3) to five (5) issues that litigation causes for both  parties. Recommend a strategy, including advance preparation, for  resolving the dispute.
5. Use at least two (2) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.
