WORK IMMERSION
Third Quarter
Week 5
ACTIVITY 1:
Directions: Share a personal experience where in a conflict with another person(s) resulted to
group improvement.
I was in Grade 7 when we are tasked to present a report about our Christian Living subject. And
I have one groupmate, which I really don’t want to be with as she doesn’t like me and has a very
awful attitude. There is one moment wherein she confronted me about being bossy as a leader,
which I am not. She shouted at me, and it caused a disturbance to others that led them to call
our adviser. Our adviser asked her why is she acting like that as my other groupmates told our
adviser that she just burst out against me without any reason. We have talked to each other with
the guidance of our adviser. And after that, we became friends and accepted each other.
Activity 2
Directions: Refer to the common ways of dealing with conflicts within a group. Arrange them
according to their efficiency in resolving the conflict. Briefly discuss your work.
1. Problem solving
2. Bargaining
3. Harmonizing
4. Avoiding
5. Forcing
Problem-solving is in the first spot as confronting each other will lead to hearing each side and
creating a solution that will cease the conflict. Even though it is not done frequently, as many see
it as a situation that will make the problem worse, but in reality, it would really fix the problem.
The second is bargaining, as it will solve the problem for the benefit of everyone. Harmonizing is
in the third spot because even though you didn’t solve the problem by facing it, at least the
problem becomes non-existent, and everything becomes fine to each other. The fourth spot is
forcing. If both parties cannot solve their issue, it would be great if there is a mediator or arbitrator
that would give resolution to the dispute. Even if they are not the ones who will provide the
solution, they would still gain from it. And lastly is avoiding. Avoiding is the regularly used way of
dealing with conflict. Even though it seems to become effective, it is not as you are just avoiding
it, and the tension would appear again when you face each other.
Activity 3
Directions: Choose your conflict management style. Discuss what you will do in the situation
below.
Suppose you are a manager in a company and two departments are in conflict because
of a missed deadline of report submission. Group A claims that they needed the data from Group
B which the latter was not able to provide, hence, the report was not submitted on time. Group B
claims that Group A is just putting the blame on them for their incompetence.
With the given situation, I would choose collaborating in managing this conflict. There would be
a deep disagreement between the two departments, which could cause this issue. Thus, the best
to use collaborating as both parties would face and determine the real problem, and they are also
the ones to choose the solution for everyone.
