In any business concern, the four factors of production are man, machine, material and
money that are very important to achieve the goals of the organization. Among the four factors,
man is the living being and the prior cause for the success of the organization than the other
factors, so any organization consists of number of human resources who move towards achieving
the organizational goals.

Thus group effort is needed to smooth running of any business. but when there is more
than one person involving in an activity, it is very clear that there may be chances for conflicts
among them. Conflict is inevitable and necessary for the growth of any organization though it is
harmful sometimes.

When people with different backgrounds, temperaments, points of views, values, needs,
personalities, and attitude interact, it is likely that some type of conflict may arise. the conflict
may also develop due to perceptual differences of an individual. it is a conscious awareness of
occurrences, events or happenings in ones surroundings which may be considered as
threatening and derogatory such as loss of authority, role conflict, unequal or unfair treatment,
status incongruities and goals differences. Conflicts may also be encouraged by actions,
constraints and demands of the organization and responsibilities to be performed by the worker.

Conflict is a process in which an effort is purposefully made by one person or unit to


block another that results in frustrating the attainment of the others goals or the furthering of his
interests.

Definition of Conflict

According to K.W.Thomas a process that begins when one party perceives that
another party has negatively affected, or is about negatively affects something that the first party
cares about.

According to chung and megginson the struggle between incompatible or opposing


needs, wishes, ideas, interests, or people. Conflict arises when individuals or groups encounter
goals that both parties cannot obtain satisfactorily.

Role of conflict in organization

The experts have been divided over the role of conflict in organizations and groups.
However there are mainly three schools of thought that emphasize the different roles of conflict
in the organizations. These three schools of thought present the traditional view, the human
relation view and the interaction view.

(i) The traditional view: the traditional view believed that conflict is harmful for the
organization. This view considered conflict as a totally negative phenomenon and considered it
synonymous with violence and destruction. in the traditional view conflict was believed to be a

dysfunction outcome of factors like poor communication, lack of trust among the employees and
a failure of the management to respond to the needs and desired of the employees. it was
believed that conflict could cause a loss in productivity and too much conflict at the work place
could also distract the managers from efficiently discharging their duties. in this way we see that
the traditional view considered conflict as a totally bad thing and advocated its complete
avoidance. this sometime resulted in a tendency to suppress the conflict and push it under the
carpet. by ignoring the presence of conflict, we somehow try to wish it away. both the scientific
management approach and the administrative school of management related heavily on
developing such organizational structures that would specify task, rules, regulations procedures
and authority relationships so that if a conflict develops, then these inbuilt rules will identify and
correct problems of such conflict. Thus, through proper management techniques and attention to
the causes of conflict, it could be eliminated and organizational performance improved.

(ii) Human relation view: the proponents of human relations view believe that conflict was a
natural occurrence in all groups and organizations and the management should accept conflict at
work place. This theory says that conflict is avoidable by creating an environment of goodwill
and trust. But still conflicts are bound to happen due to differences in opinions, faulty policies
and procedures, lack of cooperation, allocation of resources which will lead to distortion and
blockage in communication. Accordingly, management should always be concerned with
avoiding conflict if possible and resolving it soon if possible, in the interests of the organizations
and the individuals.

(iii) The interactions view: the inter-actionist approach went a step further from the human
relations approach which accepted conflict but the inter-actionist view in fact encouraged
conflict. This view is based on a belief that conflict could be a positive force in a group but it is
even necessary for a group to perform efficiently. thus this approach encourages conflict as these
approaches believes that if there is harmony, peace and co-operation in a group it can become
static and non-responsive towards the needs for change and innovation. Therefore it becomes
imperative that the leader of the group allows some conflict in the group so that it remains
creative viable and self critical. this conflict however should be kept under control at all times so
that the dysfunction consequences of conflict avoided.

1.2 objectives of the study


To study the socio-demographic characteristics of the employees.
To analyze the various conflict resolving strategies.
To find out the association or relationship between the selected socio-demographic
variables and conflict resolving strategies.
To suggest suitable measures to overcome conflict in industries.

1.3 Need for the study

Every individual has his or her own viewpoints towards a similar issue. Hence, there is
similar issue. Hence, there is enough and more scope for men who are interwoven in the
organizational structure to enter into conflicts while working together. Thus conflict is inevitable

whenever two or more human beings work together. for healthy and effective functioning of a
human being in an organization one should be adept in handling conflicts. An in resolved
conflict might trigger a long line of troublesome consequences for the person as well as to the
organization. Hence it is imperative to study about the various techniques and strategies adopted
by persons in conflict resolving strategies among the organizational supervisors. Therefore a
scientific enquiry in this area is meaningful and essential. The present study is one such attempt.

1.4 Scope of the study

The present study attempts to find out the extent of conflict management strategies adopted
by the employees in tancem,. The assessment has been made with reference to solution oriented,
non-confrontational, control and also has focused on giving specific suggestions to improve the

The study is conducted only in Madurai branches only, so the findings may not be
generalized.
The researcher has adopted only conflict management strategies and was unable to
concentrate on solution job stress related areas
As the study size is small, it may not actually represent the whole employees in the
organization.

2 Review of Literature

This review of literature involves collection of some literature and works previously done
in the same area and other related areas. by doing this the researcher can make a study to explore
new dimensions in the same area and add to the body of knowledge. several approaches to
conflict management have been proposed

Thibant and kelly (1956) is there study that have mention of three problems associated
with pressure tactics the cost of surveillance over the other partys behaviour.when threats
punishment and rewards and the unpleasantness of having to capitulate when the other party is
unknown.

Walton and mckersie (1965) have used the term integrative bargaining which comes
closes to what is referred to have as negotiation in integrative bargaining, new and better options
are generated.

Thompson.v.a (1965) this however should not be surprising, since a review of the
relationship between bureaucracy and innovation has found that conflict encourages innovative
solutions.

Lawrence and losch (1967) examined the effectiveness of various styles for handling
conflicts and fond that each of these techniques was used in organization to handle conflicts. the
distinction was that the high performing used more.

Lewis and pruitt (1971) found that when the bargainers placed heavy reliance on
pressure tactics, it resulted in failure to reach and agreements.

Thomas (1976) has suggested two main dimensions of approaching conflicts,


cooperativeness using a grid model. three two dimension give strategies avoiding (low-low),
accommodation (high-high) and compromise (medium-medium).

Cohen et al (1977) have described a problem-solving workshop as an international


resolution based on intervention at the inter-group level and designed to provide inputs into
policy processes.

Filley (1978) controlled power oriented methods with problem solving methods of
conflict management. filley calls the functional method of conflicts resolution a problem
solving methods. According to him problem-solving methods evoke intellectual intensity rather
than emotional intensity or power.
