Nursing Conflict Resolution Case Study – Conflict Resolution Strategies

Conflict Resolution Strategies
Assignment Objective: To explore conflict resolution strategies.
Tied to Course Objective: Apply problem solving principles to a conflict situation in the workplace (Student Learning Outcomes 2, 5, 8)
Assignment Rationale: “Leaders work to implement changes that will have positive outcomes, but they also need to realize that there may be negative outcomes as well…. One of the most common outcomes of change is conflict” (Grossman & Valiga, p. 128).
Directions: The purpose of this assignment is to apply conflict resolution theory and communication principles to a life situation of your choice. There are no preselected conflicts. You will create your own case study from your experiences. This is a formal paper written in third person, and includes title page, introduction and conclusion appropriate level headings (listed below) and scholarly reference citations. Use correct APA format (6th edition) and pay close attention to correct spelling, grammar and sentence structure. Papers should be 6-7 pages (excluding cover page and references). Limit the use of direct quotations to no more than 2 per page of narrative.
Please provide an introduction, use the following level one headings in addition to Conclusion:
Description of the Conflict
Cost of the Conflict
Diagnosis of the Situation
Identification of Roles
Action Taken
You will have your choice of scenarios (choose only one):
Choice One: healthcare worker – to – patient and/or family conflict
Choice Two: healthcare worker – to – healthcare worker conflict
Do not refer to anyone by name; use initials only
Make sure you provide a clear description of the conflict, ‘paint a picture’ by describing: who, what, when and where. Leave the reader with a clear story about the conflict situation. If appropriate, describe antecedents (such as “T.L., a 40ish male nurse, and M.C., a 20ish female respiratory therapist, have had a civil, yet tense, relationship for weeks after T.L. was vocal about M.C.’s perceived lack of competence during a code.”).
It is expected that the student will use at least seven (7) scholarly resources to support an explanation of both effective communication principles and application of a conflict resolution theory. Information may be obtained from credible websites or journals as well as the text.
Three Required references: Advancing Your Career (Kearney-Nunnery), Nursing Leadership & Management (Murray) Chpt 6, and The Third Side resources .
Options for remaining references: any scholarly book, journal or website.
You must have at least 2 business references: Think ‘outside the box’ and consider the New York Times, BusinessWeek or Forbes (available online). Also, consider searching on Business Full Text (EBSCO), available via the PSC Library database.
You must have at least 2 nursing references: Consider nursing journals as Journal of Nursing Administration, Nursing Management or Nursing Administration Quarterly (all available on OVID via the PSC Library database).
Submit the paper to the Assignment due box by the published deadline. Points will be deducted for each day the paper is late (see late work policy in syllabus).
Use the TLCC, if you need help with composition or APA formatting.
For the case study, use The Third Side (3S) assumptions and skills (on CANVAS). There are two resources. The first resource is the author William Ury’s Website. Explore the site and listen to one video of your choice. In the upper navigation bar, click “10 Roles” and review them. The second resource is an overview of the The Third Side which may help you synthesize what you have read. Include the following elements to offer a resolution to the conflict:
Review the 3S overview, assumptions and skills.

Apply 3S to your situation (assess cost, diagnose situation, identify roles and take action) http://thirdside.williamury.com/ (Links to an external site.) and http://www.beyondintractability.org/essay/thirdsiders (Links to an external site.)
Step One- review the cost of the conflict. Use the following table to gather your information. Then incorporate findings into your paper.

Step Two- use the 3S resources to diagnose the situation (overt, covert, etc.)
http://thirdside.williamury.com/apply/ (Links to an external site.)
http://www.williamury.com/mapper/mapper_v1.html (Links to an external site.)
Step Three- identify roles that each member of the conflict is playing, such as the provider, the bridge-builder, etc.

Step Four- use the resources to take action (how you would resolve the conflict, such as change the story or create a winning alliance)

Generational Issues in the Workplace. Multigenerational Organizations

Generational Diversity in the Workplace

For this Case Assignment, we are going to revisit the good folks at Informational Systems. Remember the generational issues they were having in Module 3? In that Case you were asked to discuss which management styles would or would not work to help resolve their issues. Now we are going to get the key players around the table and start the negotiation phase.
Pay attention to the details. Though the scenario states that “One of the issues is interdependence,” is there really only “one” issue?
Here again is the scenario:
The issues in the software development area of Informational Systems have grown into a genuine workplace conflict. One of the issues is interdependence—the Millennials want to schedule their work on their timetable and not rely on the work schedule of the older Baby Boomers. Also, the Baby Boomers are pushing for changes in the rewards system—they believe that bonuses should be commensurate with performance, while the Millennials think that everyone should be rewarded equally for participation in projects.
Case Assignment
NOTE: There are no right or wrong answers for this assignment. What’s important is how thoroughly you support your responses.
After reviewing the scenario and the readings, especially the sections (including the embedded videos) on Stages of Negotiation and Types of Negotiating Strategies, prepare a 2- to 3-page paper on the following:
First define exactly what you think is really driving the conflict.
Then Using the five-step process found under Stages of Negotiation, work through each step describing what you would do to meet each step’s criteria. Use your experience and the readings when working through the questions – not all of the information you will need to answer the questions is in the scenario. Begin with Preparation and Planning.
Your paper should follow this outline and answer each of the questions:
Statement of the issue: what do you think is the actual underlying concern that is causing these two groups to not be able to work together? Support your answer using the scenario.
Then respond to these questions under each Step as noted in the Stages of Negotiation section.
Preparation and Planning
What do you as the leader of the negotiation want to walk away with?
What are the goals of each party?
What do you think they will ask for?
Do you think either party (or both) has a hidden agenda? Why/why not?
What might they settle for? Does that differ from what you have in mind?
Definition of Ground Rules
Who will do the negotiating for each party?
Where will the negotiation take place?
Will there be time constraints placed on the process? HINT: Go back to the scenario to see how quickly you think this needs to be resolved).
Will there be any limits to what each party wants? Why/why not?
What will you do if an agreement cannot be reached? If you bring in a third-party negotiator will it be 1) an Arbitrator, 2) a Conciliator, 3) a Consultant, 4) a Mediator? Explain your choice based on the scenario and the information under “Third-Party Negotiations”.
Clarification and Justification
Describe your position as negotiator.
Describe the millennial’s position.
Describe the Boomer’s position.
Bargaining and Problem Solving
What is your optimal solution as negotiator?
Would the millennials accept this? Why/why not?
Would the Boomers accept this? Why/why not?
If neither party accepts, what will you do?
If both parties accept, what will you do?
Closure and Implementation
What is the final resolution agreed to by all parties?
How will you implement it?
Assignment Expectations
Use concepts from the modular background readings as well as any good quality resources you can find.
Cite all sources within the text and in a reference list at the end of the paper.
Length: 2–3 pages double-spaced and typed.
The following items will be assessed in particular:
Your ability to follow prescribed assignment content guidelines.
Your ability to apply the basic concepts to the questions.
Some in-text references to the modular background readings (APA formatting required).
The essay should address each element of the assignment. Remember to support your answers with solid references, including the case readings.
