learning_team_assignment.docxLEARNING TEAM ASSIGNMENT: Organizational Behavior and Management Collaborative Discussion
Discuss the following with your Learning Team throughout the week:
• Organizational culture
• Describe how managers, when applying leadership principles, influence organizational culture (both positive and negative).
• Organizational power
• Describe the five bases of power.
• Conflict management
• Describe how specific conflict management techniques can be applied to address organizational conflicts.
• Human Resources and organizational development
• Describe the relationship between human resource management and organizational development.
· 1-Conflict management is an extremely important quality to have as a leader. This is because everyone comes with their own personalities and unfortunately we will eventually run into some that are going to clash over certain things and even in general. A manager who knows how to handle conflict among employees is more than likely going to be running a more successful business as opposed to one who is afraid to confront said employees (unfortunately this does happen). In my opinion and I have experience working in places with management who do not have a grasp on conflict managing it is just not a good work environment. This causes productivity to decrease as well as staff morale and all in all just becomes a miserable place to work. Although I am a believer in being able to hash your issues with the specific person sometimes that is just not a feasible task. You have to know your limits and understand how that person may push you which is why it may always be a good idea to have that third party especially when it comes to conflict between a coworker.
· 2-The five bases of power are used to measure or locate where power stems from. Each of the five bases uses a different approach to influence someone, there are advantages and disadvantage to each bases. The five bases are Legitimate power, Reward power, Coercive power, Expert power, and Referent power.
Legitimate power is authority and anchored to a persons formal position. Reward power is the ability obtain compliance by promising or granting rewards. Coercive power is the ability to make threats of punishment, and deliver on those threats. Expert power is the ability to have useful knowledge that know on else has. Referent power is the ability to use your social relationships help someone be compliant. Each of these are needed to have power, each of them can be used as a whole or separately.
· Discuss and share specific real-world examples from the team that relate to organizational culture, organizational power, conflict management, OR human resource management.
