CONFLICT MANAGEMENT OF SCIENTIFIC PROJECT

Abstract

Human resource management in project activities requires managers at various levels to continuously monitor and control in order to prevent, avoid and reduce the occurrence of conflict situations. According to the results of the analysis of scientific work, it was concluded that in most cases the successful implementation of any project and meeting the needs of its stakeholders depends on the professional and competence abilities, skills and abilities of the project team, as well as the leadership qualities of the project manager and his ability to avoid or prevent conflicts. A new component of project management methodology is proposed, in particular, conflict management research project, which includes the processes of planning project conflict management, conflict identification, conflict analysis, conflict response planning, conflict response implementation and conflict monitoring. The implementation of these processes will allow the project manager and his team to take on a conscious and controllable risk regarding the implementation of the project in order to create value. Conflict within each research project exists on two levels, in particular: individual conflicts that can affect the achievement of one or several project goals, and general conflicts that arise due to a combination of individual conflicts, stresses, problems, etc., and can influence the implementation of the entire project. The project manager must clearly understand the consequences of destructive conflicts and how to improve the impact of constructive conflicts on the project implementation. It is concluded that conflicts can occur throughout the entire life cycle of a research project, therefore project conflict management processes should be implemented continuously from the very beginning of project planning to its successful completion and meeting the goals of stakeholders that are put in front of the project.
