Human-wildlife conflict is a worldwide issue, especially in villages around or in protected areas. Superficially, the conflict will exist when villagers aware that someone, who intend to protect the species, dominated the policy-decision process. As a result, the damages are treated as an imposed burden and lead to a feeling of helplessness even trigger angers from local communities.
As field researchers studying the conflicts, we need to conduct field works in these areas in weeks-long and frequently contact with villagers and even build up friendships. In some situations, local guides or villagers may ask you about “why do we need to protect this species killing livestock or raiding crops”. This question is likely to imply a doubt of your works or a question “Why do you study this troublesome species”.
Do you feel feel a little embarrassed or awkward? how you replied? how do you reply in the future? Please share your experience.

Topic: Conflict Management Styles in High School Students
Context: I am doing a research about conflict management styles among high school students (for now this is limited to one class of about 20 students).
I have already distributed a survey to identify their individual conflict management styles (by KW Thomas and RH Kilmann).
Then, I proceeded to group them according to the same style and assigned an interactive project for them to work on. As they were grouped according to the same conflict management style, it meant that many of them were not working with their usual group of friends and felt uncomfortable with adjusting to new teammates.
I would like to find an instrument or questionnaire to record their response of how they felt after the project working with people they do not usually work with.
Could anyone provide some academic resources/surveys to measure their opinion and experience working with new teammates?
(P.S. I am a beginner researcher. I have a Business Management background but I would love to delve into different topics that pertain to education as that is the field I am currently employed in. Thank you!)

My objective are:
1. To explore the ways nuclear families along the East-West corridor of Trinidad manage conflict.
2. To understand the challenges that families along the East-West corridor of Trinidad face due to the conflict management style utilized.
3. To explore the intergenerational conflict management styles of an individual within the family and determine how it impacts on the individual’s conflict management style

Does your institution offer training in conducting research in disaster or conflict settings? Does your institution have a specific protocol for fieldwork in disaster or conflict settings? We are interested in learning about experience in this realm such as (1) specific prerequisites as part of ethics board clearance; (2) training modules; (3) adaptation of ethics board review specifically for humanities and social science fieldwork. Any inputs and/or links to established practices, those under consideration, or any alternatives. Thanks.

Hi there,
I prepare material for training workshops I'm looking for guidelines for how much should I charge/get if I prepare the content and someone else gives the material as a trainer repeated times.
For example, if we agreed that I take 50%, I'm looking for guidelines for how much I should take the second time he/she gives the material even if I did nothing the second time.
I need neutral ways to decide job offers (especially free-lance work) such as "last offer arbitration".
So here's my question: Can you recommend individuals/ institutions who can work as third party mediators/arbitrators to settle how much each side should take (especially when the service is repeated)? In agreements in general and/or the specific case of preparing training content for trainers.
I am looking for peer reviewed articles on the Style Matters: The Kraybill Conflict Styles Inventory in which the 40-item instrument is used.

I am currently studying conflict management strategies and teachers job effectiveness. The specific purpose of my study to find the relationship between
1. Arbitration strategy and teachers effectiveness
2. Dialogue and teachers effectiveness
3. Effective communication and .....
4. Smoothing strategy and ......
I will have used Pearson alone which am sure will do the work. I feel like finding the combine effect of arbitration, dialogue, effective communication, and smoothing on teachers effectiveness. Will it be nice to do this? Can I employ Pearson to run individual correlation based on the four areas, while I used multiple regression to combine all the 4 strategies on teachers effectiveness?
what do you think about the most useful conflict management theory that can be applied in a department full of pioneers? (When you as a new leader and want to comment on the team members current working attitude) How to minimise the risk and maximise the impact ?
Records provide primary information which can be used as a base for decision making. However, in circumstance of mismanagement or corruption systems collapse rendering decision makers vulnerable or likely to take decisions on uninformed fronts. Wrong decisions promote conflict. Lack of documentary evidence for any business has similar consequences with worth situations when it comes to litigation, etc.
Conflicts have been a common feature in the teaching, learning and administrative tasks undertaken in educational institutions. The causes of these conflicts arre varied. Some may be as a result of differences in goals, personality. etc.
How can the conflicts in educational institutions be proficiently managed to boost productivity in teaching, learning and administrative duties? What are the merits and demits of conflicts?
As far as I know, there is a growing literature, which discusses the potential of public service delivery to contribute to peace-building via increasing the legitimacy of service providers (often assumed to be governmental agencies), but what about the other way around? Are there situations where poor public service provision leads to a crisis of legitimacy and subsequent political instability? Are there major differences with regard to different types of services, modalities of service provision and contexts (e.g. during humanitarian emergencies)? Is there a literature that discusses these questions, in particular with reference to water services?
Any leads will be highly appreciated.
I would like to know different social survey methods can apply for human- wildlife conflict management.

I need latest articles on the Conflict management and Leadership?
In our research on authentic leadership and conflict management we're using a number of constructs such as authentic leadership ALQ, Thomas Kilman conflict mode instrument CPP , and conflict management style based on the the Rahim organizational conflict inventory. We are trying to figure out if these three constructs are formative and therefore do not need reporting of reliability such as composite reliability. The data analysis technique we are using is smart PLS. I can make arguments both ways as to whether they are reflective or formative constructs. Is a construct designated reflective or formative or does it depend on how we use it in the research. Does anyone have any guidance on this?
Conflict can have positive and negative effects in work teams. Positive as a force for change and better practices, negative as a force for blocking action and difficulting communication. What is happening in your teams?
Dear colleagues
Could anyone help in training material on interpersonal communication, conflict management at workplace or crisis communication
Academic papers are also welcome.
Thanks
I am fresh researcher who doing research in graduate proposal, my topic is conflict management and organizational performance in public sectors. so, I read the literature; but I did not find any items to measure this variables.
please help me the measurements of each variable?
I am looking for measures that can be used to assess children's social and emotional skills. I've made a search. On one hand, I didn't find many measures of that type, on the other hand all that I've found is based on information from an adult - parent or teacher. I would like to use a measures that are based on direct assessment with the children. I need measures that are for the age ranges 3-6, 7-11/12 years of age.
As a Project Management Consultant, I have seen many Project Managers/Line Managers trying to resolve conflicts utilising one of the common Blake and Mouton (1964)'s strategies (i.e. Accommodating, Forcing, Compromising, Cooperating and Avoiding).
It amazes me how some of them behave similarly/differently in their professional life (i.e. in workplace) vs their non-professional life (i.e. at Home, among friends).
For instance, a project manager, who is known for utlising an "Accommodating" strategy for resolving a conflicts with his friends, surprisingly utilises a totally a different approach (e.g. Forcing) in his workplace.
On the other hand, there is a project manager, who is well-known for his "Compromising" approach regardless of the situation.
This kind of observations initiated my question.
My biggest challenge is keeping the model simple enough at the outset. Have you been able to balance the need for high-level simplicity with providing the conflict details at the analysis stage? Thanks!
In my model I intend to include risk taking and opportunity recognition as mediating variables. Risk taking is a sub-dimension of entrepreneurial orientation though. Do I have to use entrepreneurial orientation or is there enough justification on whether I can use risk taking as a separate construct
Negotiation is a dialogue between two parties intended to reach a mutually beneficial outcome, resolve points of difference, to gain advantage for an individual or collective, or to craft outcomes to satisfy various interests in organisation.
Negotiation occurs in business, non-profit organizations, government branches, legal proceedings & among nations. Professional negotiators are often specialized, such as union negotiators, leverage buyout negotiators, peace negotiators, hostage negotiators, or may work under other titles, such as diplomats, legislators or brokers.

Studies have shown that role conflict and role ambiguity as big factors in work stress among employees of organizations. (I thank a good friend - Mahfuz - for bringing out this point in discussion on stress management). Since work stress is negatively related to job satisfaction, it is important to understand and alleviate role conflict and role ambiguity in organizations. Why do organizations have these problems of role conflict and role ambiguity? How can the organizations reduce these problems leading to stress at work? Your views are welcome.
