Questions
Provide answers to all of the questions below.

1. Identify three common warning signs of conflict.

- Dysfunctional meetings:
Dysfunctional meeting is a major warning sign of conflict, it mean to say that if
there is no any agenda or we can say that without common goal of organization.
Without any goal one can’t decide in which way we have to go. Goal set the path
and view the way of direction. So people are unable to give attention, this cause
the conflict.
- Quality issues:
If there is not meet the productivity demand whatever they desire and the issue
with quality of product cause conflict. So, this should be focused and have to
consider it.
- Stress and Anxiety:
Too much pressure of workload also creates conflict. It includes staff management,
interpersonal relationship, dealing with issues which arise on workplace, etc.

2. Describe, in your own words, the five stages of conflict.

Latent stage This is the first stage of conflict and occurs before the parties realise a
conflict situation is likely to occur. An example of this stage may be
that an order placed by a customer’s is incorrectly recorded by the
waiter. Neither party are aware that this mistake has happened.

Perceived stage This is the second stage of conflict and occurs when it is noticed. This
usually happens after a miscommunication or misunderstanding
between parties. Each party is aware that a problem exists.

Felt stage This is the third stage and occurs when one or more of the parties feel
an emotion over the conflict. This may includes stress, anxiety or anger.

SITXCOM010 Manage conflict

Manifest stage This is the fourth stage which occurs when the conflict causes action
which can be seen.

Aftermath stage This is the final stage of conflict which occurs upon resolution or
dissolution. Depending on how the conflict was dealt with and ended,
can have either a positive or negative impact on each party. The
aftermath stage provides an opportunity to evaluate the situation and
make changes to deter the same problem from arising in future

3. List the four recognised levels of conflict.

Intrapersonal conflict: this is conflict within self

Interpersonal conflict: this is conflict between two people.

conflict between multiple persons.

Intergroup conflict: conflict between multiple groups

4. Identify three factors that can lead to conflict in a hospitality environment.

Unrealistic needs and expectations: Struggle at work can frequently be caused when
business overlooks the requirements of representative or set unreasonable desires. For
instance, orchestrating hours that make it hard for representative to complete childcare
obligation.

Unresolved issue: For example, a representative may request to be moved to another


group due to their supervisor’s ‘aggressive ‘initiative style. Nonetheless, the representative
may have different reasons. For example, they may censure their chief for an absence of
preparing or vocation movement.

Bullying and Harassment: These days bullying and harassment is one of the major factors
of conflict at hospitality environment. Most of the place seems that junior and most of the
girls are harassed by senior employee. This is very annoying and embarrassed for them.

5. Describe what conflict theory says about the results that come from dealing with conflict.

Karl Marx is a theory that society is in a state of perpetual conflict because of


competition for limited resources. Conflict hypothesis holds that social request is kept

SITXCOM010 Manage conflict

up by mastery and force, as opposed to by agreement and congruity. As individual by


conflict hypothesis, those with riches and influence attempt to clutch it using any and
all means conceivable, essentially by smothering poor people and feeble. Conflict
hypothesis has been utilized to clarify a wide scope of social marvels, including wars,
insurgencies, destitution, separation and abusive behaviour at home. It credits a large
portion of the key improvements in mankind’s set of experiences, for example, majority
rule government and social liberties, to individual endeavours to control the majority
(rather than a longing for social request).

Negative results while dealing with conflicts are as follows:


- Expanded pressure and tension among people, which diminishes efficiency and
fulfilment.
- Sentiments of being vanquished and belittled, which brings down people’s spirit
and may expand turnover.
- An atmosphere of question, which thwarts the collaboration and participation
important to complete work.

Positive results while dealing with conflict are as follows:

- Thought of a more extensive scope of thought, bringing about a superior, more


grounded thought surfacing of suppositions that might be mistaken.
- Expanded of individual perspectives that manufacture learning.
- Then again, struggle can be useless on the off chance that is extreme or includes
individual assaults or devious strategies.

6. Explain how the use of each of the following communication strategies can be effective in
conflict situations.

Active listening Demonstrating individuals that we are keen on them and what
they need to state is vital to the listening cycle. It is nothing but
bad hearing and understanding what somebody is stating in
the event that we don’t tell them through our conduct that we
are truly turning in to them. There are some point of active
listening: Remove physical barrier, be on the same eye level,
be aware of personal space.

Empathy Being warm and inviting is another approach to show interest


in a customer. Utilizing their name, grinning when you welcome
them and offering them a seat are incredible approaches to lay
everything out of warmth, positive respect and interest.
Utilizing right outward appearances is a method of checking
out the customer’s emotions and indicating them you’re tuned
in.

Non-verbal techniques are valuables as they help you

have to impart without taking can be handily done, despite the
fact that you should be cautious in light of the fact that non-
verbal correspondence can be misjudged.

or in any event, lying. It’s critical to know that occasionally you

with our customers.

7. Describe how the following conflict resolution techniques can be used for effective conflict
resolution:

Assertiveness Assertiveness isn’t aggression:


- “Sentiments of outrage or hatred bringing about
antagonistic or rough conduct, preparation to assault
or stand up to”. Assertiveness is a scholarly social
expertise that requires some investment, practice and
persistence to figure out how to progress nicely.
- For each occasion wherein, a void is left by our
absence of self-assuredness, others will occupy that
space with their own self-assuredness.
- We all aversion showdown.
We can also use DESC approach as an effective conflict
resolution technique.

Specify
Consequences
- When somebody shows the conduct/transforms we
are searching for, recognize in a positive way.
- Remember assertiveness is tied in with defending
ourselves. It doesn’t ensure the other will go along.
Not with standing, we feel enabled by making some
noise. Hence, improving confidence, self-esteem and
fearlessness.
- As assertiveness can be standing up to, it is an open
door for figuring out how to be agreeable in an
awkward circumstance.

Negotiation A negotiation isn’t giving a request or accepting an order.


Negotiation resembles discussions- they are two-way
communication. Viable arrangement requires great tuning in
and thinking abilities.
Here are a few hints:
- Prepare previously- consider choices on the off chance
that you can’t get your favoured result.
- Find out the other individual’s viewpoint- recognise
what inspires their choices
- State your own requirements- clarify why something is
critical to you.
- Don’t contend- It’s not beneficial and it gets tempers
up.

Use of appropriate Use of appropriate communication Acknowledging the views of


communication all involved parties and providing them with opportunities to
express them- This means our communication while solving a
conflict should be decent all the time while both conflicted
parties are involved.

of all involved parties and them with opportunities to express them so there will be

8. Identify four pieces of information you would expect to find in an organisation’s policies and
procedures for complaints, conflicts, and dispute resolution.

Understanding: identify and understand the problem that arose between the two parties to
proceed with the conflict resolution

Collaborating: finding a solution as a group facilitates resolution by benefiting both parties


and showing the appreciation necessary to find the best solution

Accommodating: make the people involved feel comfortable and at ease to have a clear
vision of the conflict, using an appropriate tone of voice and the right words so as not to
offend or judge anyone

Compromising: finding a compromise is the best way to benefit both parties and
demonstrate the right method of resolving the conflict, making sure to comply with all
policies and procedures

9. For each person/group below, identify one scenario where they may be required to assist in
managing conflict.

Counsellors Counsellors may have internal disputes over who knows best
to choose the best option to clients and this can be a source of
debate. To avoid this type of conflict, a collaboration policy can
be adopted to find the best option for the customer in question,
solving the internal problem and favouring an optimal service
for customers.

Internal security staff Internal security staff can have problems of ethnic origin where
culture and related prejudices can be a source of conflict and
debate. To resolve the dispute it is necessary to adopt a policy
of anti-racial discrimination where it protects the origin and
culture of the subjects involved, therefore the debate can be

stopped by bringing together the people involved and


analysing the problem together and finding a rational solution
for both parties.

Mediators Mediators are those who resolve internal disputes, but they too
can be subject to disputes with other staff. For example, they
may underestimate the reasons of the staff favouring one party
over the other, and this is not in accordance with the equal
opportunities policy. So, in this case, the staff manager or
supervisor must intervene to make the policy imposed by the
company prevail and demonstrate how to resolve the dispute.

Other staff The bartender had a dispute with an arrogant customer who
discriminated against the bartender's sex by raising his voice
during the debate and attracting the attention of the whole
room just to make his reasons prevail. The bartender tried to
resolve the situation, but it all resulted in a conflict. In this case,
the staff manager must enforce the anti-sex discrimination
policy and point out to the customer that our hotel has strict
policies that must be respected.

Police A customer had a racial-themed fight with a hotel employee


and after that the staff noticed that the employee experienced
great psychological and emotional trauma. The staff manager,
after having listened to and evaluated the situation, wanted the
police to intervene to assert the rights of employees. Since the
company follows the laws and policies of racial anti-
discrimination, the police after analysing the videos intervene
to penalize the client in question and point out the intolerability
of the debate, fining or arresting him.

Senior staff Senior staff may be subject to age discrimination because they
are older and perhaps slower than other staff and this can be a
reason for conflict. To resolve the dispute it is necessary to
highlight that the company adopts an anti-discrimination policy
of age and that working in a group it is necessary to help the
staff where necessary and find the best compromise to benefit
all the staff, a group discussion can favour delivery of the
message.

10. List three common conflict situations that can occur in a workplace and their typical causes.

Conflict situations Typical cause

Conflict between a This can be caused by differences in expectations, work


supervisor and an employee style, or values. For example, a supervisor may expect an
employee to complete a task in a certain way, but the
employee may have a different idea about how to complete
the task.

Conflict between co-workers This can be caused by differences in personality, work style,
or values. For example, two co-workers may have different
ideas about how to complete a task, or they may have
different communication styles.

Conflict between employees This can be caused by differences in expectations, work


and customers style, or values. For example, a customer may expect an
employee to provide a certain service, but the employee may
have a different idea about how to provide the service.

Bridge Hotel’s Mother’s Day promotion, the kitchen has been providing take away
service for families who prefer to stay at home and celebrate. Customers who
purchase take away can order from an ‘abbreviated’ menu (meaning they do not
have access to the full range of menu items as in-house diners) and the Bridge
Hotel will have delivery drivers send out the meals.
The busy lunch service is almost over and you are just about ready to breathe a
sigh of relief. One of the wait staff approaches you and hands you the phone. The
customer on the other end of the line is not happy and this is the second time they
have called today. They have asked to speak to the manager as no one else is
able to help them.
The role play will begin at this stage.

Dialogue between C & S


Supervisor: Hello Ma’am, this is Andy, I am the shift supervisor at Bridge Hotel. How
may I help you?
Customer: Hi my name is Maria. I have been waiting to speak to the
manager for a while now and this is the second time I’m calling.
Supervisor: I apologise for the delay. Hotel Manager is not on the shift today, but I am
more than happy to resolve the issue. If you could please explain the issue to me so
that I can help you.
Customer: Of course, I had ordered five items from your menu on your
website, but the food that got delivered to us was completely different to what
we had ordered. Hence, I wanted to report this to your manager.
Supervisor: I’m sorry to hear that. Could you please provide me with the order number?
It can be located in the order confirmation text message sent on your phone by Bridge
Hotel.
Customer: Yes, give me a moment.
Supervisor: Sure Ma’am.

Customer: My order number is BH312


Supervisor: Thank you for providing your order number. I am going to have a look at
your order in our system. Please bear with me for a moment.
Customer: Okay. Thank you.
Supervisor: Hello Ma’am. I just had a look at the order, was the food that you ordered 3
big breakfast and 2 egg and bacon rolls?
Customer: Yes. That is what I ordered.
Supervisor: Ma’am if you could please tell me what order did you received?

Customer: I received 2 eggs benedict and 1 bacon egg roll.


Supervisor: Thanks for providing the information. Let me check with the delivery drivers
if there had been any blunder from their end. I apologies for the wait.
Customer: Okay.
Supervisor: I just spoke to the delivery driver that took your order and just found out that
there had been a mix up with your order and has been delivered to a different address.
And hence, you got the wrong order.
Customer: Well, that is not a great experience. I am a bit disappointed with
the service as I wanted to enjoy breakfast with my family.
Supervisor: I sincerely apologise for our blunder. Now what I’m going to do is place the
order again for you and our kitchen staff will make your order as a priority. The food will
be delivered to you within 20 mins. Additionally, I will provide a $25 voucher which you
can use on your next order.
Customer: Well, that sounds fine. Thanks for your help.
Supervisor: Thank you Ma’am for giving us a chance to fix the issue. And again, I
apologise for the delay that you had to face on your order. Hope you enjoy your
Mother’s Day with your entire family.
Customer: Thank you

Dialogue between C & S

Customer: Hi, are you the manager?


Manager: Yes Ma’am. My name is Andy. How may I help you?

Customer: Well, I’m not trying to be rude, but just wanted to address the
behaviour of one of your staff who is wearing a red hair band.
Manager: Sure. The person you are referring to is Jenny. What was the issue with the
staff ma’am?

Customer: For starters, when she brought the food, I asked her if she could
bring salt and pepper to our table. She agreed to it but seemed like she was
not happy about it. We gave her the benefit of the doubt and did not say
anything. But soon after, I realised that my eggs are runny, but I vividly
remember instructing the person who took the order that I wanted well
cooked eggs. And when I addressed this to the waitstaff she said that’s how
we cook our eggs.
Additionally, I asked her if she could change the eggs for me. She then proceeded to

take the plate to the kitchen and came back with the food.
The food was great but what disappointed me was that she did not even
apologise for the blunder and the lack of customer service that she had
provided.
Manager: Sorry for the experience ma’am and taking the time to explain the issue. I’m
not sure why this happened, as this doesn’t happen often. But rest assured, I’m going to
talk with the Jenny (Waitstaff) this issue and make sure this problem does not arise in
the future.
Customer: Thank you for listening.
Manager: Additionally, I am going to take 10% off your bill from our system. And thank
you for giving us the opportunity to resolve your problem. Is there anything that I can
assist you with?
Customer: No that is all for me. We loved the food that you served, and it
was just the behaviour of the staff that I wanted to highlight it to you. And
thank you for providing us with the discount.
Manager: I am glad to hear that. Thank you and hope you visit us soon.
