way an interpersonal conflict was resolved.

PHASE 1

FIVE METHODS OF CONFLICT RESOLUTION By. BLAKE AND MOUTON

1. Withdrawing :- See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil

2. Smoothing :- Play down the differences & emphasize common

interest

3. Compromising :- No one loses but no one wins

4. Forcing :- Creates a victor and a vanquished

5. Confrontation Problem Solving :- Both can win

TWO DEPENDENT VARIABLES :-

(1) Constructive use of differences and disagreements

(2) Aspects of the superior-subordinate relationship in planning job

targets and evaluating accomplishments.

Withdrawing and forcing behaviours were negatively

related to the dependent variables.

Compromising was not related to these variables.

Use of smoothing was inconsistently related (sometimes

positive and sometimes negative).

Only confronting or problem solving was always related

positively to the dependent variables.

CONCLUSION

The person with the different ideas especially when he

is subordinate, are generally seen as the trouble maker,

but it actually leads to innovation.

E.g. Maruti udyog LTD.

The poorest method of the conflict resolution is

forcing.
