This study offers conflict management models in resolving social-environmental conflict.

Conflict Management Technologies in Hotel and Restaurant Business

Topicality. In modern conditions, conflicts in hotel and restaurant business are intensified. Such phenomena slow down and unbalance their development, as well as cause the liquidation of enterprises. This is a natural process. Therefore, it is important to learn how to manage them. Opposites and contradictions are inevitable in the enterprises activities of the service sector, as they are based on the communicative level. The aim of the article is to determine conflict management technologies in hotel and restaurant business using conflict theories. Research methods. The study used general scientific methods: induction and deduction – to generalize opinions on conflict theories, technologies and conflict management in hotel and restaurant business; abstraction, theoretical analysis and synthesis – in determining approaches to conflict management strategy in hotel and restaurant business; comparison – in highlighting the causes of conflicts; generalization – for the construction of conflict management technology in hotel and restaurant business, the algorithm for working with conflicts in hotel and restaurant business; inference – in building the basic patterns of reaction to resistance, the rules of successful conflict management in hotel and restaurant business. Research results. Conflict theories are identified and their evolution is shown. It is established that conflict management is an inevitable process, and stems from the service sector peculiarities. It is noted that conflict management technologies should include development strategy, strategic aims, conflict management strategies, problems of conflicts appearance, patterns of response to resistance, conflict management models. Rules for successful implementation of conflict management technologies are elaborated as well. Conclusions and discussions. It is determined that hotel and restaurant business is changing, that conflicts and contradictions are inevitable. They are exacerbated by COVID-19. An algorithm for dealing with conflicts in hotel and restaurant business are elaborated. It contains 5 steps: listening, concretization, compassion, variability, gratitude for feedback. Marker words that should be used in resolving conflicts are suggested.

Micro agresiones, victimización, y nueva cultura de gestión del conflicto

Parallel to the real phenomenon of mistreatment, violence and harassment that more and more people suffer in various social spaces, another equally worrying trend is observed today: a constant increase in what the literature has called “new culture of victimization”. This culture translates into exacerbated hypersensitivity to any form of microaggression. Likewise, it generates emotional distortions and disciplinary control mechanisms that need to be studied. Based on the comparison with other conflict management models, this article aims to develop the logic of victimhood and its most pernicious consequences.

Reflective Doctrine Analysis and Impact on the Internal and Foreign Policy of the Republic of Moldova

In this article, I aim to highlight the importance of the analysis on the impact of reflexive gameson the internal and foreign policy of the Republic of Moldova. Such analyzes are applied for the first time in our country regarding reflexive games. Until now, Moldova has been the subject and object of external reflexive applications. Advances in information technology are less visible and palpable for the reading public, which is not only a consumer of information, but also a subject and object of reflective informal technologies. Mathematics specialists model and create effective quantitative conflict management models. Experts in game theory and decision-making promote their own approaches in an increasingly wide range of fields (political, military, economic, etc.). But at the same time, the same specialists say that the individual is described too simplistically, the large sets and masses, with their properties, do not fit into mathematical models. One of the radical challenges for game theory and decision-making theory remains the need to develop the apparatus of reflection (first conceptually, then formally). Reflexive analysis refers to one’s own awareness of the meaning of reflexive communication and interpersonal interaction. At the same time, the reflection as an object of research, since the introduction of this category by J. Locke, is considered entirely belonging to the fields: philosophy and psychology.

Standing in the Breach: Conflict Transformation and the Practice of Preaching

In an era of social and political polarization, the question of how to preach amid divided communities looms large. The field of conflict transformation, which emerged as a corrective to earlier conflict resolution and management models, offers new insight into how conflict might serve as a constructive catalyst for change. Conflict transformation provides perspectives and orientations to conflict that are useful to homiletics—but which also challenge assumptions about conflict that are present in the church and in the larger society. This essay introduces secular and Christian approaches to conflict transformation and analyzes some of their implications for preaching, including the claims that conflict is not sinful and could be a way in which God is acting in the world, that conflict transformation requires broad participation and not top-down solutions, and that restoration of right relationships can be more important to conflict transformation than coming to agreement.

The Blockade on Qatar: Conflict Management Failings

ABSTRACT Current tensions in the Gulf region highlight the persistence of crises and conflict. A number of states within the area now regularly engage in interventionist actions that challenge previously held norms of sovereignty and non-intervention. Fragmentation characterises what were once considered fairly robust structures of unity and enduring regional organisation. Theoretical norms that presuppose non-intervention are tested by new forms of coercion and interventionism among Gulf actors that exacerbate rather than resolve security dilemmas. In turn, this highlights the inadequacies of normative models of conflict management and resolution, and in particular mediation. These developments are examined in the case of the blockade against Qatar instituted by Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in June 2017.

Dating SOS: a systematic and theory-based development of a web-based tailored intervention to prevent dating violence among Brazilian youth

BackgroundDating violence has an alarming prevalence among Brazilian adolescents. School-based preventive programs have been implemented, but remain isolated initiatives with low reach. Health communication strategies based on innovative technologies with a high potential of diffusion are urgent. This study aimed to develop a computer-tailored intervention to prevent victimization and perpetration of dating violence among Brazilian youth.MethodsThe intervention, called Dating SOS (SOS Namoro), is based on the I-Change Model and attachment theory and is a comprehensive preventive program targeted to young people with a current partner. The intervention design included the stages of needs assessment; definition of objectives of change; development of the library of messages; elaboration of a questionnaire for tailoring feedbacks according to the relevant variables; integration of the content in the software Tailor Builder; pre-testing; and usability and efficacy evaluation planning. Dating SOS is composed of four online sessions. The first session gives a tailored orientation on attachment style and risk perception of violence. The second session addresses knowledge on conflict management, positive and negative social models of intimate relationships and an action plan to improve everyday interactions. The third session covers social norms, self-efficacy and an action plan to cope with conflicts. The fourth session discusses attitudes, social support and an action plan to protect from violence. Improvements on the interface and tailoring refinement was done after pre-testing to improve attractiveness and decrease risk of iatrogenic effects.DiscussionThe principal merit of the present study resides in the development of an innovative strategy based on the qualified use of the internet for education surrounding romantic relationships and the prevention of dating violence among adolescent and young Brazilians, a hitherto unaddressed need in the field. The intervention usability and efficacy should be investigated in further studies.Trial registrationBrazilian Registry of Clinical Trials. RBR-9frj8q.

Conflict management in the fusion of complementary segmentations of deformed kidneys and nephroblastoma

The fusion of multiple segmentations aims to improve their accuracy in order to make them exploitable. However, conflicts may appear. In this paper, two conflict-management models are proposed for the fusion of complementary segmentations. This conflict-management and fusion procedure, integrated into the SAIAD project, carries out the fusion of deformed kidneys and nephroblastoma using the combination of six independent methods. These methods are based on different criteria, like the adjacent segmented slices, the variation of information, the Dice, the neighbouring labels, the pixel intensity by scanner images, and the fully connected CRFs. The performances of our fusion models was evaluated on 139 scans for three patients with nephroblastoma, and the results demonstrate its effectiveness and the improvement of the resulting segmentations.

The Development of A School-Based Conflict Management Model in Aceh Besar Junior High School

This paper aims to find out the causes of conflict in schools, how the style and techniques of conflict management, what are the approaches to conflict management in schools and the influence of schools on conflict-based management models at junior high schools in Greater Aceh. Conflict is a process expressed by two or more parties. Conflict affects all components of the school. Therefore, leaders and teachers must understand the management of conflicts that arise where they can have a positive impact on improving school quality. Furthermore, the authors want to develop a school model of conflict management based. This model is a resolution or stimulation technique to produce the desired resolution, especially in the development of schools based on conflict management models that are focused on producing instrument formulation. Based on the findings of the data, it was concluded that job satisfaction can be improved by increasing conflict management and teacher empowerment by the principal. The results of this study can also be useful for improving the quality of conflict management and teacher empowerment by principals to improve overall job satisfaction.

Model Konseptual Manajemen Konflik Dalam Organisasi

Organization is a place where different people with different opinion share the same goal. As a dynamic social environment, organization always change and influence by its internal and external of organization. Therefore, conflict will exist in organization as the result of differences, changes and oppositions in achieving goal. Conflict can be managed in such a way by using models of conflict management. The purpose of this paper is to explain about how management should deal with conflict, and how to implement models of conflict management in overcoming conflicts

Merenda Cinta Melintas Budaya Hingga Senja Tiba (Studi Literatur tentang Perkawinan Antar-Budaya)

Intercultural marriages have an actual percentage increase in different countries over time. One of the things that should be observed in intercultural marriage is that in married couples in the same culture, we will discover the uniqueness of individual personality traits that become one of the determinants for individuals in adapting to marital relationships, whereas in intercultural marriage relationships, there are many differences in cultural values brought by both individuals from birth and on the one hand it is possible to contradict so that it can complicate the process of adaptation in marriage and increase the likelihood of conflict during the marriage from time to time. From the literature review, the emergence of conflict due to cultural differences can lead to marital dissatisfaction that can lead to the intention and decision to divorce. In view of the growing intercultural marriage trends in many countries over time, this paper will specifically review the potential for conflict due to cultural differences in intercultural marriages, and will also address individual aspects of cultural differences as a triggering factor conflicts in intercultural marriages, and conflict management models that will be determinants of intercultural marriage achievement to provide a discourse on how to manage conflicts appropriately so that intercultural partners can sustain their marriage well into the elderly. In general, the use of integrating and compromising models in managing conflict will maintain a harmonious relationship that supports the achievement of marital satisfaction in intercultural couples (Cheng, 2010).

Conflict in Crocker: applying ethical analysis to constructive dialogue in a co-managed protected area in Sabah (Malaysia)

SUMMARYOver a 10-year period, a valley in Crocker Range Park in Sabah (Malaysia) has witnessed a conflict between a community located inside its boundaries – the Ulu Senagang/Mongool Baru – and the state government's parks department – Sabah Parks. Sabah Parks sought to designate the area as a co-managed community use zone (CUZ) in which sustainable practices are allowed to continue, but disagreement over how the zone was to be governed resulted in a prolonged impasse. This paper assesses whether conflict management tools could overcome the impasse. This study assessed the CUZ conflict via a systematic methodology known as ethical analysis (EA), which aims to reveal stakeholder interests, values and principles and identify barriers and bridges to negotiated settlements. First developed in the medical field and subsequently employed in the analysis of forestry disputes, this is the first time that EA has been utilized in the context of protected area management. The EA revealed significant misalignments between stakeholders’ positions that were sufficient to prevent a perfect win–win solution from emerging. As such, at least one party would have to make compromises in order for the CUZ to be established. The EA revealed that whilst both sides in this conflict were willing to move forwards with negotiations, they had been prevented from doing so by mutual mistrust and a number of misconceptions that had developed during the negotiation process. The EA tool was fit for purpose in identifying the underlying causes of the CUZ conflict, which were determined to be resolvable so long as both sides were willing to make compromises. The study concludes that other co-managements could similarly benefit from the employment of EA, which can be easily incorporated into existing protected area conflict management models and structures. We propose that the utility of EA can be further enhanced in the conservation management context by incorporating assessments of stakeholder priorities and worldviews into its analysis structure.

The Structure of Collective Conflict Management Networks: Looking Beyond the Intuition of Networks

Drawing from the results of an empirical study of the conflict in South-Ossetia (Georgia) and building on social network analysis and inter-organisational theory, this contribution challenges current IR approaches of inter-organisational cooperation in conflict management. Collective conflict management is conceptualised as a dynamic system of a selected set of actors engaged in persistent and structured inter-organisational relations. Using the new Database On Inter-Organisational Relations In Conflicts, the article applies the two-mode network thinking to inter-organisational cooperation and examines three key but neglected issues dealing with how inter-organisational networks are governed, how they evolve over time and what is the outcome of inter-organisational relations at the level of the whole network. The main findings are threefold. First, the study shows that the South-Ossetian network is a new kind of lead-organisation governed network, the lead-clique governance, where network governance occurs through several cohesive groups of organisations. Secondly, the variations of inter-organisational activity across time demonstrate that there is a significant rise in organisational overlap due to the ongoing process of network expansion. Finally, by studying the level of connectedness in the South-Osstian conflict management network, the article discusses the performance of the model of conflict management and opens a new research agenda further to study the network effects of other models of collective conflict management. Eventually, the article identifies what future directions might be taken by IR researchers who wish to go beyond the intuition of networks and to expand empirical research of inter-organisational relations in peace processes.

Inter-organizational conflicts

While inter-personal conflicts have attracted much attention from scholars and practitioners over the last two decades, our understanding of inter-organizational conflicts remains limited. This paper critically assesses current literature on inter-organizational conflicts. We first discuss the specific features of conflicts at the inter-organizational level. Second, we provide an overview of both qualitative and quantitative research conducted in the field. Third, we make suggestions for future research on inter-organizational conflicts. We specifically suggest opportunities to develop theoretical bridges with other streams of literature and to build multi-level models of conflict management. We then discuss important empirical issues associated with doing research on conflicts between organizations and provide recommendations to overcome these challenges.

The Formation of the Conflicts Management Models of the Strategic Alliances under the Conditions of the Globalization

The processes of globalization led to the fact that the world markets began to create new business forms actively, one of which is a strategic alliance. The conditions of the strategic alliances functioning uncertainty associated with a complex system of management and organization, conflicts arising from the work dissatisfaction and high uncertainty of possible outcomes. Conflicts may lead to the dissolution of the alliance at any stage of its formation and development. The influence of conflict can be minimized by choosing the most stable forms of corporations’ interaction. Objective: to develop and substantiate models which allow managing conflicts of strategic alliances on conditions of uncertainty of the current globalization state stage. The result of this study is to construct two basic models of conflict management as a factor of the strategic alliances’ stability: the state model allows identifying and eliminating the causes of the dissolution of strategic alliances in the conflict environment and forecasting model of variant forms of the corporations’ interaction, leading to a stable development. For the formation and stability of the models a systematic approach is used as well as factor analysis and methods of the decisions’ making. To control the conflicts, is to control the stability of strategic alliances: to predict the result of the activities, plan the development, to eliminate the problem quickly. The models, formed within the work allow predicting the result of the strategic alliances’ activities: a stable development, consolidation or merger, dissolution.

Gossip as a tool for organizations?

What is the relationship between organizational politics and the climate of a firm? The main objective of this paper is to identify the kinds of organizational politics that affect most importantly the organizational climate in the shoe manufacturing companies of Jalisco, Mexico. We designed an empirical study and applied a survey to 134 companies in this industrial sector. Our focus was on the personal relationships established by the firms, all of them members of the Chamber of Shoe Manufacturers in Jalisco State. The results of our empirical research indicate that the study of the perception of organizational politics is a topic of major importance and most of the time an issue overlooked in organizational culture and in conflict management models.
