ENHANCING ORGANIZATION EFFICIENCY THROUGH CONFLICT MANAGEMENT AND RESOLUTION


ABSTRACT

We have been studying a critical issue on the shore of conflict in an organization, it’s so crucial that every hand has to be on deck to salvage this debilitating situation this back bone of any meaningful development is conflict in an organization. It can be arrested or resolved depending on the approach. A sure way of maintaining a set stand end of resolution of conflict is by encouraging this workers on areas of manpower training and development. The need for staff orientation as it helps to subside conflict re-occurrence in this organization.

In this study, we have looked into various ways of eradiating this “ailing situation, the causes, sources of conflict in an organization, also the approaches, strategies to management of conflicts the appropriate ways. To help the organization is to identify how efficiency can be increased in an organization through proper appreciation of the causes and mechanism for conflict resolution. Based on the findings of the study, the researcher therefore makes the following recommendations that use of dominance arising by virtue of organization functionaries, formal authority should be de-emphasized and the sue of bargaining encored or encouraged. This is because dominance may no longer, while in bargaining both sides are aware of mutual dependence and would continue to co-operate this conflict is battled or resolved. This implies that in bargaining attention is focused on a continuum of attitudes. And attitude change such as from open hostility to a closer co-operation. Management should introduce the use of an influential man in the sue of hierarchy who can facilitate communication and ensure that the subordinates can confide and bring their problem to him before the conflict expands and becomes compacted.


CHAPTER ONE


Introduction

Ours is an age of rapid change, unrest and conflicting ideologies. Society is unsettled and individuals are apprehensive as group, nations and organized groups within the nation’s struggle for power and control over material resources and man’s mind. It is in such a world setting of tension and discourages that we view the present day relationship between labour and management in Nigeria.

In an organization, there are the owners of business who’s primary goals and objective is to maximize profit at all cost, while on the other hand, there are workers whose only weapon is this labour power with which they earn some reward usually monetarily. In other words, these two groups (the owners and workers) here their own are interest which might differ. Nevertheless, they re bound to co-operate in other to maintain and sustain the system of going concern. However, where there is no co-operation, there will be conflict. Conflict can be described as a situation of disagreement between employers, employee and employer etc. It could also be seen as the total rouge of behaviour and express opposition and divergent orientation between owners and managers on one hand, worker and the organization on the other hand.

Organization conflict is therefore a familiar characteristics of organization life.

1.1 General Background To The Subject Matter

It’s fundamental cause is the self interest of individuals in the organization, a self-interest which frequently manifests itself in competing objectives, philosophies or methods in associating struggles of one or more level or department to dominate the other. The presence of conflict brings change in our organization objective, if the change is in line with organization objective, than the conflict is beneficial (functional) to the organization, but if on the other hand, the conflict create disunity among functionaries in the organization this deviation from the stated organization objective, then such a conflict is dysfunctional.

Conflict can be main, tested inform of discount struggle, quarrel, opposition, disagreement, clash of interest and ever fighting. It can rough from industrial strike to competition, to simple dislike among individuals in an organization. It may occurs between or sub-groups, departments sub-system, authority relationship, individuals and even sub-organizations in there quest to either incompatible goals in the face of the resources.

The Institute of management and Technology (I.M.T) Enugu, is not an exception to the inherent problem posed by conflict. The inability of the management to effectively by handle conflicts has led to a considerable wastage of human and materials resources heading some times to a partial or non-fulfillment of the stated organizational goals and objectives.

Considering the vital position which the institute of Management and Technology (I.M.T) Enugu, holds or occupies in the nation as one of the three major tertiary institutions, tea holds and supports the educational system. It therefore, became important using I.M.T as a focal point since the academic performance or the institution will directly have a great impact on the nations educational system.

This research work is undertakes so as to enable the organization to comprehend and appreciate this in her sent nature of conflict and how resolving it will result to an improvement of the institutions efficiency.
