M7D1: Work Scheduling
Perhaps all supervisors should take a course in conflict management. Or perhaps, better still, all employees, both supervisors, and subordinates, should study conflict management. Anyone who has worked knows that the workplace is filled with issues and disagreements pertaining to these. Even a straightforward task of assigning professional people to work different shifts can produce a lot of conflicts as the next case study suggests. The purpose of this activity is to apply the key concepts, principles, and suggestions from Chapter 12 to the case study. This activity aligns with module outcomes 1,2, 4, and 5.
