Full textAbstract:
Conflicts are an inherent part of organizational life and managers deal with confrontations and conflicts on an almost daily basis. Information Systems (IS) implementations are a type of change that often leads to open or hidden conflicts. Managers and others involved can only deal with such conflicts effectively if they understand the nature and causes of information system conflicts (IS conflicts). To contribute to such an understanding, this study focuses on the analysis of IS conflicts. In so doing, it aims to identify various types of IS conflicts and to develop a framework that can be helpful in assessing these conflicts. To this end, we have conducted a meta-ethnographic study – that is, we synthesized earlier case studies in which IS conflicts are described. We purposefully selected 11 descriptions of IS conflicts and we analyzed the topics, contexts, and processes of these conflicts. Based on this analysis, we propose a two-dimensional framework of IS conflicts that leads to a categorization involving four IS conflict types: task; implementation process; structure; and value conflicts. Based on the conflicts that were studied, this paper also reveals that, in reality, many IS conflicts have a hybrid form and develop from one type to another over time.

Full textAbstract:
Conflict is something that cannot be avoided in social life. With the conflict, the community will be more intelligent in dealing with life and life. That is what is seen in the Drupadi novel by Seno Gumira Ajidarma. Seno Gumira Ajidarma manifests social conflict by using the uniqueness of abstract language. Social conflict is portrayed by Seno Gumira Ajidarma by asserting something with others so that the social conflict that is portrayed becomes more interesting, because it is very different in its delivery with other works. Based on then this study aims to describe the forms of social conflict and the causes of social conflict. This type of research is qualitative using the method of analysis description to explain the results of the study. The data collection technique used is descriptive literature study. The results showed that the forms and causes of social conflict were found in the form of (1) Gender conflict caused by social change, (2) Inter-group conflict caused by individual differences, (3) Conflict of interest caused by conflict of interests both in terms of economic or political, (4) Interpersonal conflicts caused by individual differences, (5) Conflicts between Social Classes, (6) Conflicts between countries / nations caused by conflicts of interests both economically or politically.

This study investigated on the conflict types, causes, and asymmetry, which can be witnessed between physicians and nurses who are the essential members of the hospital. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews of physicians and nurses who worked within the same department. The results of this exploratory research illustrated significant indications of task conflicts, relationship conflicts, and process conflicts, in accordance with Jehn’s(1997) study, among the two professions. Furthermore, there were some conflicts related to the typical in-role behavior caused by factors such as misperformance due to the lack of knowledge/skill and the partial completion or nonexecution of order along both occupations. Additionally, indications of conflict type asymmetry between physicians and nurses resulting from the differences of power and perception, and asymmetry on conflict causes even when experiencing the same type of conflict existed. The implications and the limitations of this study with invitation of suggestions to remedy such conflicts are discussed.

Significance: the number of conflicts related to realization of the right to health and medical care especially in such specific branch of medicine as dentistry has recently been on the rise in Russia. Furthermore, among the main fields of social interaction, a large number of interpersonal conflicts does relate to professional activity. Subject of research: conflicts and conflict situations in dental practice. Purpose of work: to identify main groups of causes of conflict situations and conflicts in dental practice and suggest ways to prevent and resolve them. Material and methods: questionnaire survey of dentists with additional interview of the respondents, mathematical and statistical data analysis using the SPSS Statistics software (Pearson chi-square tests, Kruskal-Wallis tests). Results: The majority of the respondents (59.0%) say that they have never had any conflicts with the administration. The leading cause of disagreement is dissatisfaction with the material base and supplies (35%). The prevailing share of the dentists (61.5%) indicate that conflicts between them and a colleague / nurse have never occurred. The main cause of the conflict communication is insubordination or lack of subordination, especially in rural areas and public facilities. Doctors of public healthcare facilities and dentists working in rural areas were more often in conflict with a colleague or manager. Almost all health workers (98%) note that they have encountered conflict patients. The main cause of the conflict communication is long waiting for a dental appointment (33.3%). Out of all factors influencing the relationship, about half of the respondents (53.0%) mentioned the emotional state of the patient. Out of all behavior strategies in conflicts, the majority of dentists (44%) prefer cooperation. Conclusion: Almost all (98%) dentists came into conflict with the patient. The main causes of these conflicts included: long waiting times for admission (33.3%), irrational work of the registry, the administrator (23.1%) and complaints about the quality of services (22.2%). Medical workers with average work experience (10-29 years) were more likely to conflict with the patient about claims to the quality of treatment (31.3%).

Full textAbstract:
Many international conflicts are recurrent, and many of these are characterized by periods of violence, including wars, that are hard to describe as planned products of rational decision-making. Analysis of these conflicts according to rational-choice international-relations theory or constructivist approaches has been less revealing than might have been hoped. We consider the possibility that emotive causes could better explain, or at least improve the explanation of, observed patterns. We offer three emotive models of recurrent conflict and we outline a method by which the reliability of emotive explanations derived from these models could be tested prospectively.

El objetivo de este trabajo es conocer y analizar los tipos de conflictos entre el profesorado de un Instituto de Enseñanza Secundaria (IES) en la Región de Murcia. Los instrumentos utilizados han seguido una doble metodología. Por una parte, una metodología cuantitativa con aplicación de la técnica de la encuesta y, por otra parte, con una metodología cualitativa en aplicación de las técnicas de grupo de discusión y entrevistas semiestructuradas. Los participantes fueron 35 docentes seleccionados sobre una población total de 92. Los resultados indican que los tipos de conflictos principales son: discrepancias y desacuerdos entre estos y el equipo directivo y la administración. Al mismo tiempo, otro de los tipos de conflictos que se generan es la distribución de horarios y las franjas horarias en las que el profesorado desea impartir las asignaturas. Igualmente, se destacó que el profesorado percibe el conflicto de manera distinta en función de la edad, así pues, el profesorado con edades comprendidas entre los 36 y 45 años prefiere evitar el conflicto, frente al grupo del profesorado de mayor edad que percibe el conflicto como “lucha para vencer”. Sin embargo, el grupo de profesorado más joven y el grupo con mayor experiencia docente, lo percibe como oportunidad de cambio, desde el punto de vista positivo. El sexo femenino ante el conflicto, prefiere bien, ceder o ignorar a la otra parte. Siendo la principales causas de los conflictos: ideológicas, comunicación deficiente, insatisfacción laboral o diferencia de funciones.
The objective of this work is to know and analyze the types of conflicts between the teaching staff of a Secondary Education Institute (IES) in the Region of Murcia. The instruments used have followed a double methodology. On the one hand, a quantitative methodology with application of the technique of the survey and, on the other hand, with a qualitative methodology in application of the techniques of discussion group and semi-structured interviews. The participants were 35 selected teachers out of a total population of 92. The results indicate that the main types of conflicts are: discrepancies and disagreements between them and the management team and the administration. At the same time, another of the types of conflicts that are generated is the distribution of schedules and the time slots in which the teaching staff wishes to teach the subjects. Likewise, it was highlighted that teachers perceive the conflict differently depending on their age, therefore, teachers aged between 36 and 45 prefer to avoid conflict, compared to the group of older teachers who perceive the conflict as "fight to win". However, the group of younger teachers and the group with the most teaching experience perceive it as an opportunity for change, from a positive point of view. The female sex in the face of conflict, prefers well, yield or ignore the other party. Being the main causes of conflicts: ideological, poor communication, job dissatisfaction or difference of functions.

Conflict is one of the major organizational phenomena. Where there is an employee involvement, conflict is obvious to occur. Workplace conflicts happen everywhere and ignoring them can be costly. The objectives of this research are to identify the causes and effects of workplace conflicts and also forecast the ways for the prevention of the occurrence of conflicts in future. A survey was carried out in this regard among the employees of Midland Bank Ltd., Dhanmondi Branch. According to the survey we found that it is the employees’ behavior that causes conflicts in organization. Majority of the participants in the survey agreed that the main causes of workplace conflict are the negative criticism & gossip, denying personal mistakes, jealousy, and moral corruption and using abusive language. The effects that workplace conflicts have in this organization are broken relationship (top most reason), instability and insecurity, loss of commitment to work, voluntary resignation etc. It is recommended that bank should introduce a formal system of information dissemination, manager should learn to practice delegation of authority and there should be adequate interaction and dialogue in conflict resolution.

The relevance of the problem of studying social conflicts in the modern world is due to the extreme complexity and inconsistency of social relations, the struggle of opposing forces and trends in all spheres of life. Changes in social interaction are accompanied by an expansion of the sphere of conflict manifestation. They involve not only large social groups, but also entire territories, both homogeneous in national respects and populated by different communities. The complication of the social structure, the differentiation of society, the emergence of freedom, pluralism, divergent and sometimes mutually exclusive interests, goals and values create sources for potential conflicts. At the present stage of development of social relations there is an urgent need for the development and subsequent implementation in practice of the system of prevention and settlement of social conflicts. Due to these circumstances, the study of tension and conflict of social interaction has conceptual and practical importance, attracting the close attention of researchers from various fields of scientific knowledge and encourages them to develop and implement in practice effective ways to prevent and resolve conflicts of this type. The aim of the article was to present the results of the study of the specifics of social conflicts in modern Russia. The important place is given to the influence of this type of conflicts on the development of social relations. The scientific novelty of the provisions proposed in the article lies in the study of the peculiarities of social interaction and conflicts. The practical significance lies in the possibility of using the conclusions of the article for the development of programs to prevent and resolve social conflicts.

Construction projects are predisposed to conflicts. This is attributed to the multiplicity of personnel handling the various phases of the projects. Empirical evidence from previous studies shows that if not properly managed, conflicts affect among others, the project's productivity loss, inadequate time and cost performance levels, loss of profit, and damage in business relations. Identifying the significant causes and major potential impacts of conflicts is crucial to reducing the risk of conflict occurrence in projects. Hence, this study was focused on explaining the classification of conflicts, identifying and assessing their causes and impacts in construction projects in Kenya grounded on the perception of project consultants and contractors. To accomplish the study objectives, a questionnaire was designed to collect data on the experiences of construction professionals on the causes and impacts of conflicts during project implementation. A total of 122 consultants and contractors provided responses, which were analyzed. A total of 42 significant causes of conflicts in the Kenyan context were identified. Based on the survey results, delay in progress payments by the client was identified as the most significant cause of conflicts, followed by poor site management and supervision. The survey also revealed that conflicts can emerge from any of the stakeholders, with contractors contributing the most, accounting for 14 of the 42 conflict factors identified. The study ranked the impacts of these conflicts using the Relative Severity Index (RSI). The results indicated that the biggest impact of conflicts on construction projects is the loss of profitability and perhaps business viability, and delays in project delivery. Expert opinions regarding the best practices and strategies for improving project harmony through effective conflict management were reviewed and grouped into five classes namely; project documentation, stakeholder involvement, value-based procurement, and adoption of ICT. It is concluded that the project manager should develop his leadership role by the adoption of these strategies so that he can use his position to effect positive conflict management on his team members. Furthermore, during the life cycle of the construction project, special attention should be given to the identified cause factors to avoid or effectively manage conflicts. These results, taken together, support clear guidelines on the need for proactive financial obligation on the client-side, as well as the hiring of experienced project professionals. Implementing these suggestions would reduce the risk of conflicts arising during building projects.

Full textAbstract:
A brief glance at Africa would suggest that the methods adopted to deal with conflict prevention have achieved little success. It is clear that there are complex causes of conflict and that one cannot view conflict in a narrow sense, but must take account of political, economic and social factors to truly understand its causes and process. There is evidence that human rights violations predate conflicts: thus arbitrary arrests and detentions, oppression of political opposition groups and individuals, difficulties in socio-economic conditions, and additional border controls often increase during such times. Monitoring the situation of human rights over a period of time can therefore provide indicators of impending disputes. Conversely, human rights violations are also caused by conflicts. Yet, human rights and conflicts are often dealt with separately and this is evidenced in the practice of the UN as well as the Organization of African Unity (OAU).

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents an approach to partially solving an issue within the scope of sustainable road transport, specifically the issue of potential accidents, i.e., traffic conflicts. First, a method is introduced for the analysis of traffic conflicts using video equipment. The attention is focused on traffic conflicts that occur at turbo-roundabouts. Given the diversity of causes of traffic conflicts, the emphasis is placed on the correct identification of the cause, i.e., whether the conflict is caused only by the negligence of the road user, or whether the conflict is more or less influenced by an inappropriately designed turbo-roundabout or one or more of its specific building elements (e.g., unsuitable corner radius). The next part of the article presents a selection of results that were obtained from analyses performed at about 100 turbo-roundabouts in nine European countries. Illustrative diagrams show the courses of the emergence of traffic conflicts, the causes of which are then described in detail. The conclusions from these analyses confirm the main hypothesis that the evaluation of traffic conflicts should be an essential part of designing roads, in order to increase traffic safety and, importantly, contribute to sustainable transport.

Workplace conflict is regarded as a naturally and unavoidably occurring phenomenon in today's organisations. To identify the causes of workplace conflict it is critically important to determine appropriate conflict management strategies and effectively manage conflict. The purpose of this study was to explore causes of interpersonal conflicts between managers and employees and the conflict management styles used to handle these conflicts. A qualitative approach including thematic analysis and content analysis was employed. The thematic analysis was carried out to explore the themes concerning causes of conflicts between managers and employees. The content analysis was used to identify the conflict management styles. The data for both analyses included 47 individual written assignments describing conflict situations between managers and employees. Four general themes including poor management, manager personality, poor communication and differences in views emerged from the thematic analysis. Each theme also encompassed a number of subthemes. The findings of the content analysis showed that fight was the most adopted style used by both male and female managers. The findings also revealed that three styles emerge as the most frequently adopted by employees including avoidance, adaptation, and collaboration. The practical implications and limitations of this study are discussed. Keywords: causes of conflict, conflict management styles, gender, qualitative analysis, workplace conflict

Full textAbstract:
Tanzania has experienced many natural resource use conflicts in many parts of the country, including the Kilosa and Mvomero districts, ranging from family disputes through to all-out social unrest. Despite some efforts to curb rampant natural resource use conflicts, there is overwhelming evidence of the existence and upsurge of such conflicts, leading to various consequences, including death of people involved, destruction of property and the creation of a sense of insecurity. This study aims to characterize and map the causes, intensity and effects of natural resource use conflicts in the districts of Kilosa and Mvomero, Tanzania. Key Informant Interviews were used to gather valuable evidence to characterize the natural resource use conflicts in Kilosa and Mvomero, which also aided in constructing natural resource-use conflict typology. Quantum GIS software was used for spatial mapping of the conflicts. The study confirmed that land, water, crops, pasture and minerals are the main natural resources behind the conflicts, and therefore these resources have to be treated as crucial dimensions of conflict prevention in Kilosa and Mvomero. Generally, there is complexity in the conflict situations and overlapping of causes and conflict types on the one hand, and overlapping of conflict types and resources which are contested for on the other.

dimensions of most conflicts involving man since time immemorial. Of all resources, however, land has remained an overwhelming source of conflicts among various user groups as well as individuals at varying thresholds. In particular, conflicts between farmers and herdsmen in the use of agricultural land are becoming fiercer and increasingly widespread in Nigeria, largely due to ‘intensification and extensification’ of production activities that are necessitated by increasing human population (Gefu and Kolawole 2005; Fasona and Omojola 2005 cited in Adisa and Adekunle, 2010). The vital role of agriculture in the development of conflicts between pastoralists and farmers have been noted as an example of Low Intensity Conflict emanating from environmental degradation, resource scarcity, demographic and climate change (Shettima and Tar, 2008).

In certain situations, conflicts in the organization are not only possible, but also desirable. Their role depends on how effectively they are managed. Managers, as subjects of conflict management, must determine the strategic line of behavior and program of action, as well as the tactics of influencing this complex object of management. This requires making effective management decisions, checking the results of their practical implementation, adjusting if necessary, promptly obtaining information about the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the measures taken in order to find the optimal option for overcoming (resolving) the conflict.

With a focus on conflict as an interpersonal event rather than a social outcome, the present study investigated children's causal attributions regarding conflicts with friends during middle childhood. Thirty-nine girls and 34 boys responded to an open-ended question about causes of conflicts with friends. Children attributed conflicts between friends to human or relationship characteristics, interactional conditions, or person characteristics. As expected children were more likely to consider conflicts as results of mutual factors than of individual influence (p< .0001). Also, more children considered causes of conflicts to be of an impermanent rather than of a stable nature (p< .01). Children's responses to the open-ended format revealed their very complex understanding of conflict in friendship.

Full textAbstract:
The massive expansion of oil palm plantations has social, economic and environmental impacts. One of the social impacts caused by the expansion of palm oil plantations is social conflict, so the purpose of this research is to identify and analyze the relationship between expansion and conflict in oil palm plantations in Terantang Manuk Village, Pelalawan-Riau. Palm oil plantation expansion is one of the factors for the emergence of social conflicts in rural areas. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach. Primary data were collected through in-depth interviews with the determination of the informants using purposive sampling technique. There were 16 informants who were interviewed, consisting of the village head, hamlet head, customary chairperson (ninik mamak), community leaders, chairperson of Cooperative Terantang Jaya Mandiri (TJM), leader of youth organization, and leader of college student organization. Secondary data quoted from archives of public correspondence, court decisions, and information from the mass media. The results of this study indicate that there are two types of expansion, namely informal expansion and formal expansion. Informal expansion only causes land conflicts, while formal expansion causes more diverse conflicts, namely land conflicts and conflicts due to oil palm plantation activities.

Crop farmers and cattle herders' conflict have remained the most prevailing resource-use conflict in Girei Local Government Area of Adamawa State. Social and economic factors confined to inflame violent conflicts. The competition between these two Agricultural land user-groups threats the means of survival in the study area. The study describes the socioeconomic characteristics of farmers and herders and determines the causes of conflict in the study area. Primary data collected using structured questionnaire were subjected to simple percentages and chi-square analysis. The study revealed that the major causes of conflict in the study area are the crop damage by cattle, and lawlessness in the society. The findings also revealed that loss of expected yield, loss of cattle and loss of human lives and properties are the major effects of conflict. The study also concludes that the conflicts sometimes spread and lead to ethnic clashes and armed robbery. Therefore, it is in the interest of the state to address the genuine needs of herders and crop farmers since these two provides employment for almost all the rural people. In order to put an end to this conflict, it is therefore recommended that strange faces identified should be reported and leaders should preach the implications of conflict in the society.
Le conflit entre les agriculteurs et les éleveurs de bétail pose un grand problème qui est le plus répandu dans la région du gouvernement local de Girei, dans l'État d'Adamawa. Les facteurs sociaux et économiques servent à enflammer des conflits violents. La concurrence entre ces deux groupes d'usagers des terres agricoles menace les moyens de survie dans la zone d'étude. L'étude décrit les caractéristiques socio-économiques des agriculteurs et des éleveurs et détermine les causes des conflits dans la zone d'étude. Les données primaires collectées à l'aide d'un questionnaire structuré ont été soumises à des pourcentages simples et à une analyse du chi carré. L'étude a révélé que les principales causes de conflit dans la zone d'étude sont les dommages causés aux cultures par le bétail et l'anarchie dans la société. Les résultats ont également révélé que la perte de rendement, la perte de bétail et lacperte de vies humaines et de propriétés sont les principaux effets du conflit. L'étude conclutcégalement que les conflits se propagent parfois et conduisent à des affrontements ethniquescet des vols à main armée. Il est donc dans l'intérêt de l'État de répondre aux besoins réels descéleveurs et des agriculteurs, car ces deux moyens fournissent des emplois à presque tous lescruraux. Afin de mettre un terme à ce conflit, il est donc recommandé de signaler les visagescétranges identifiés et les dirigeants devraient sensibiliser aux implications des conflits danscla société.

This article explores the different approaches to study of conflict resolution strategyfrom a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives. It argues that conflict resolution strategy aspolitical integration resource is a necessary tool for overcoming deep-rooted ethnic conflictsin the instable region of North Caucasus. The author considers structural factors of protractedconflicts and emphasizes a destabilizing role of the re-politicization of ethnicity of a regionsociety in crisis. The concept of ethnic “identity-based” conflicts is the heuristic theoreticalmodel of exploring causes for increased ethno-confessional tensions in the North Caucasus.The article focuses on the ability of conflict resolution theory to de-escalate growing ethnoconfessionaltensions and transform protracted ethnic conflicts. Interdisciplinary approach toanalyzing conflict resolution strategy as political integration resource, while combining conflicttheory and neo-functionalistic paradigm, is the methodological basis of this research. The needto stimulate political integration is caused by moral and structural causes: from the ethical pointof view, the creation of an inclusive society is the fundamental societal goal; structural factorsare related to the need to reduce inequalities and differences leading to social fragmentationand escalation of ethnic conflicts. Among the socio-political conditions of the North Caucasianconflicts, the author calls social inequalities, civil identity crisis, authoritarian and ethnopolitical“renaissance”, economic polarization, “ideological combat” between the secular modernizationand fundamentalism. Discussing conflict resolution strategy as political integration resource,it is necessary to consider the following: 1) North Caucasian integration is a macro-politicalproject, the content of which is determined by issues of social security of multiethnic Russia;2) development of the North Caucasus after the end of armed ethnic conflicts shows theinadmissibility of structural demodernization, fundamentalism and cultural isolationism. Today,the North Caucasus remains a crucially geopolitical macro-region, as it forms the southernvolatile frontier of Russia. In this case, conflict resolution strategy must serve as preventive tool onthe conflict environment by way of providing structural solutions for deep-rooted socio-culturalproblems, transforming and rationalizing regional ethnic contradictions.

Destructive conflicts between a pupil and a teacher are considered to be one of the main reasons for avoiding school. Inappropriately managed conflicts lead to negative attitudes toward teachers and a school, course fear of the school. As a result of avoiding comes decrease in academic achievements, deteriorating relationships, dropping out of school. Research conducted in Lithuania shows that conflicts are often resolved in violation of the students’ rights and regardless of their interests; the applied forcing and avoiding strategies lead to conflict escalation as both the number of its participants and its objects increases, the actions of the conflict resolution process become more stringent. Therefore, the aim of the study is to reveal the courses of conflicts due to absenteeism. Applied research method is interview; data analysis method is thematic content analysis. 4 students of Children Socialization Centre were interviewed to gain information on the causes of their school nonattendance. Research results show that 4 main types of reasons are to be identified such as learning difficulties; usage of alcohol and drug; rejection of help of specialists; influence of the authority of friends. The study emphasizes the importance of preventing the escalation of conflicts in schools, and provides insights into alternatives for their constructive management.

This study aimed to analyze the causes and consequences of agricultural water conflicts among agricultural water beneficiaries in the irrigation network of Doroodzan dam, Iran. This research applied mixed-method and descriptive analysis, which was done in two qualitative and quantitative phases. The results showed that the causes of water conflicts can be divided into two groups of controllable and uncontrollable factors. The findings revealed that the main causes of agricultural water conflict in the studied area were ‘water scarcity’, ‘drought’, ‘physical structure of the Doroodzan dam irrigation network’, and ‘mismatched size of the irrigation network with Doroodzan dam’s water capacity’ as uncontrollable factors. Furthermore, ‘weakness of governmental water management’, ‘lake for local management of water resources by farmers’, ‘government’s reluctance about farmers’ participation’, and ‘farmers’ reluctance to participate in water management’ were identified as controllable factors. In this study, most of the conditions identified as consequences of water conflicts had ‘socio-economic’ and ‘agro-environmental’ aspects. Finally, based on the findings, a model was designed to determine the causes and consequences of agricultural water conflict. To break the causes and consequences cycle of water conflicts in Iran’s agriculture, the most important solution is shifting from governmentality to governance in water resources management.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined the dynamics of conflict, emerging trends and relationship between inter-pastoral conflicts and environmental changes in Nyangatom, Southern Ethiopia. The study employed a qualitative approach and exploratory case study research design. The study revealed that inter-pastoral conflicts stem from multiple and compounding dynamics. The environmental change has escalated intense inter-pastoralists’ contestation and conflicts, including cross-border conflict, on the scarce and fast-depleting natural resources. Indeed, there is a causal link between inter-pastoral conflicts and environmental changes. In this regard, the environmental factor has uniquely affected the Nyangatom due to the drying of Kibish River and rapid invasion of Prosopis–Juliflora in their key grazing lands. In response to environmental stresses as part of the traditional copying mechanism, the Nyangatom cross border deep into South-Sudan to their ethnic kin of Toposa and into Kenya that usually causes frequent cross-border conflicts with Turkana pastoralists. Irrespective of discernible risk of conflicts, they used to migrate to Mursi and Surma territories that caused conflict. And yet, the Nyangatom has often engaged in frequent conflicts with Dasanach. The study suggests alternative livelihood options and an understanding of the complex conflict dynamics in view of the cause-effect relationships for future management of inter-pastoral and cross-border conflicts in the region.

The purpose of this work is to determine the causes of conflicts among managers, stages of development of a conflict situation and the solution of administrative conflicts at enterprises in the field of providing tourism services. In accordance with this, it is necessary to solve the following task: to identify the consequences of managerial conflicts, to explain the stages of the conflict resolution process, and also to identify the goals that provoke a conflict. Methodology. To solve this research goal, an integrated and systematic approach was used based on general scientific and special methods, such as formal logic, analysis and systematization, generalization, literary and comparative methods. In the course of the study, we used literary sources on issues of conflict resolution at enterprises. The available statistical materials have been worked out. Results. It has been established that a managerial conflict goes through all the same life cycle stages as any other type of conflict with characteristic features. It was revealed that managerial conflicts have devastating consequences if they are not resolved. In the field of providing tourism services, where the main job is constant communication, managerial conflicts arise primarily because of the leaders' own ambitions, because of inadequate perception of information, and the like. It was revealed that at the enterprises of the tourism business possible conflicts due to incorrect transmission of information, since it goes through the process of "distortion" (that is, distortion of real information) or "filtering" (that is, replacing important data with unimportant or omission of important information, considering it unimportant ). Conflicts can and should be prevented by implementing a conflict prevention strategy. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the adaptation of the theory of conflict at the managerial level to the tourism sector in order to solve communication problems that arise. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that managers must know the theory of conflicts, prevent in order to conflict, and also resolve with positive consequences. The research materials can be used for further research on this topic and in the process of training in higher educational institutions for specialties 073 "Management" and 242 "Tourism" in the study of management disciplines and the basics of conflict management in order to create and reproduce special skills for resolving conflict situations in work collectives among managers.

Current jail management models strictly prohibit inmates from assisting with jail administration or governance. This is feasible in developed countries where governments can provide adequate resources, security, and personnel. It is not, however, realistic in developing countries like the Philippines, which is characterized by poverty, corruption, and under resourcing of correctional facilities. In such circumstances, inmate leaders tend to share governance with jail administrators. Gang leaders help in maintaining peace and order in jail. This paper explored the causes of conflicts among gang members in Dipolog and Dapitan City jails and identified preventive measures to eliminate threats caused by the conflicts. There were two groups of respondents who were considered in the study. The first group are the gang inmates composed of 188 who answered the survey instrument intended to determine reasons of joining gang and the different causes of conflicts. The second group was the jail personnel who answered the survey instrument on the measures to prevent the conflicts. study revealed that conflicts usually occur during the start and playoff time of National Basketball Association (NBA) and Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) because it is this time that gambling is usually occurred. Conflicts were mainly caused by unpaid debts, theft and overcrowding. Admonition and forfeiture of good conduct time, close confinement and reduction of visiting hours were among the most common measures to discourage conflict. It is recommended to prohibit gambling of any sort. Conduct more physical activities to make the inmates busy.

Abstract The article explores conflicts related to forests and parks of Estonian towns from the Middle Ages to the 1940s. A brief overview is first given of the development of urban forestry in Estonia. There are also cases where the loss of urban forests and the related problems that arose could have led to conflicts, but for certain reasons they did not emerge. The main focus of the research is on Tallinn and its nearby island of Naissaare and, to a lesser extent, on the town of Haapsalu. The cases with the probability of conflict are described on the example of Tallinn, Tartu and Pärnu. It is apparent that conflicts or preconditions for their emergence were caused by various reasons, both at the state and town level where local authorities and ownership relations played their role. But the causes of the conflicts can also be traced to the wider clash between military and political causes, economic development and the general public.

Competition over the use of water resources is growing worldwide and causes a lot of conflict between countries or regions. But hydro political issues and their implications for trans boundary and regional conflicts, which affect water distribution, are undervalued. The main causes of conflicts in this direction are presented in the context of water scarcity. However, water scarcity does not necessarily lead to trans boundary water conflicts; Instead, the main reason may be a geo-economics factor such as power asymmetry. The article presents water resources as an element of geo-economics and a tool in the context of strengthening the power of countries and describes the nature of water conflict and cooperation. The article also discusses how “water conflicts” can be resolved and outlines future directions that can be taken to resolve trans boundary water conflicts.

Conflicts within the Norwegian construction industry have reached unacceptable levels. The grievance of these disputes, whether it is the number of conflicts or the expense involved in these conflicts, is under discussion. This article examines the reasons for these conflicts in a comprehensive and inclusive manner. Twenty-five respondents with expertise and understanding of most conflicts in the Norwegian construction industry were interviewed. Results from a questionnaire sent to 1799 contractors have also been included in this study. Sixteen reasons for disputes were identified out of which four comprised the root causes. Tender specification and contract understanding came in first followed by “final settlement-payment related”, corroborating previous findings. The third and fourth root causes of conflicts were “low priced contracts” and “changes in projects” respectively. Our findings point to design deficiencies and defective contract plans as significant causes of conflicts, confirming the view of construction experts. The third root cause of conflicts might explicate some aspects of the first and second major causes of disputes. It is also important to mention that though this is the general view, one can also see how every group involved in this study interpret major causes of conflicts. Our findings also point to “communication between clients and contractor”, “carried out quantities” and “client restriction to time extension” as among the chief causes of conflicts, confirming the view of construction experts. Client understanding of contractors’ anxiety and quest for sound contracting process are aspects that Norwegian clients are currently engaging in, for the sake of conflict reduction and prevention in future construction projects.

This article explores the major approaches to the study of conflict resolution strategy from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives. It argues that conflict resolution strategy, as a civil integration resource, is a necessary tool for overcoming deep-rooted ethnic conflicts in the unstable North Caucasus. This research pursues the goal of analyzing how the strength of civil integration can affect conflict resolution and peacebuilding. The author considers the essential factors of protracted ethnic conflicts and emphasizes the destabilizing role of the repoliticization of ethnicity in a crisis society. The concept of ethnic, “identity-based” conflicts is the heuristic theoretical model of exploring causes for increased ethnoreligious tensions in the North Caucasus. This article focuses on the ability of conflict resolution strategy to de-escalate growing tensions and transform protracted identity-based conflicts. The need to stimulate civil integration is caused by moral and structural causes: from the ethical point of view, the creation of an inclusive society is the fundamental societal goal; structural factors are related to the need to reduce inequalities and differences leading to social fragmentation and an escalation of ethnic conflicts. Among the structural conditions of regional conflicts, the author names ethnosocial inequalities, a civil identity crisis, ethnopolitical neo-authoritarianism, large-scale socioeconomic polarization and an “ideological combat” between secular modernization and religious fundamentalism. While discussing conflict resolution strategies, it is necessary to consider the following: 1) Peace and integration within the North Caucasus is a macropolitical project, the content of which is determined by issues of social cohesion and civil solidarity; 2) The development of the North Caucasus after the end of armed ethnic conflicts shows the inadmissibility of political demodernization, fundamentalism and isolationism. Today, the North Caucasus remains a crucially geopolitical macroregion, as it forms the southern volatile frontier of Russia. In this case, conflict resolution strategy must serve as an integrational and preventive tool on the conflict environment by way of providing structural solutions for deep-rooted cultural antagonisms, transforming and rationalizing ethnoregional contradictions.

The subject of the research in this article are the features, types and frequency of conflicts arising in preschool educational institutions (on the example of kindergartens in Yakutsk). Based on the conducted psychological tests and a sociological survey of kindergarten workers, the authors consider in detail such aspects of the topic as the causes and frequency of conflict situations in kindergartens, the varieties and specifics of conflicts, the dependence of the conflict of kindergarten workers on gender, age, level of education and work experience, position. Particular attention is paid to identifying the relationship between satisfaction with basic working conditions and the level of conflict in the team. The main conclusions of the study are the following: most conflicts in kindergartens arose between children, between parents and kindergarten; most employees faced conflict situations once every six months; among kindergarten employees, such a style of behavior in conflict as compromise prevails; 37% of the surveyed employees revealed a destructive type of behavior in a conflict situation; among women, the frequency of conflicts was higher than among men; among fully satisfied employees, the frequency of conflicts was lower than among dissatisfied employees; educators and teachers needed additional knowledge about effective conflict resolution among children, methods for identifying the causes of conflict between the child and parents.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This paper analyzes the parallels in two conflict eras in the Niger Delta region with a view to highlighting how salient issues in the resolution of the old conflicts remain germane to contemporary conflicts. The first conflict era refers to the trade in palm oil during the nineteenth century while the second period refers to the on-going conflicts caused and/or exacerbated by the exploitation of crude oil from the Niger Delta region. The paper identifies issues including the socio-economic importance of the products (palm oil and crude oil), the parties to the conflicts and the fundamental causes of the violent conflicts as common to both conflict eras. The paper's central argument, based on social justice normative concepts of distribution and recognition, is that the exclusion of the local communities from participating in the exploitation and benefits of the resources (palm oil and crude oil) in both eras instigated local restiveness. It posits that the recognition of these concepts that contributed to the resolution of the conflicts during the palm oil era are essential to the resolution of the multifarious conflicts caused (directly or indirectly) by the exploitation of crude oil in present times. Consequently, the paper suggests that public participation in the crude oil industry be integrated into initiatives programmed to bring sustainable peace to the troubled Niger Delta region.

The study explored the various causes of conflicts in organizations. The objectives of the study was to find out the nature, types and factors that lead to staff related conflicts in organizations especially tertiary educational institutions. To achieve the objectives, researchers employed the case study approach using Takoradi Polytechnic as the case study. It also involved the use of interview and questionnaire as the data collection instruments for the study. Researchers used the purposive and simple random sampling techniques to select the respondents. A sample size of 276 out of 736 of the population was selected for the study. This constitutes (36%) of the population. The sample was made up of 109 junior staff, 96 senior staff and 71 senior members. These three groups of staff from different departments were randomly and purposively invited to participate in the study. The study would be of immense benefit to management of institutions especially educational institutions since it would inform them of possible conflict that could arise. It would also inform policy formulation and staff training and development programs. It was discovered after the study that there were various conflicts in the organization which could be grouped into intra-personal, interpersonal and inter-group conflicts. These were as a result of the competing for limited resources, power struggle, differences in behavior among others. It recommends the education of staff through workshops and seminars on the differences that leads to conflicts, provision of resources and infrastructure that could mitigate the competition of resources among others.

Thus, the future teachers need to have, in their panoply of professional competences, those skills aiming at managing conflicts in an educational environment so as to build an optimal climate for educational activities. In order to resolve various conflict situations, it is necessary to choose the best resolution strategy, from several strategies dedicated to resolving organizational conflicts. The purpose of this study is to investigate conflict situations in schools, the causes of conflicts perceived by respondents, as well as optimal strategies for resolving these conflicts.

Land management practices have been developed primarily by focusing on resource objectives. Public perceptions of these practices are seldom considered until after they have been introduced and conflicts have developed among different user groups. This paper reviews attitudes about conflicts and approaches to managing conflicts. The causes of conflict (misunderstanding, lack of information, differing interests, and/or personal values) will determine how successfully a conflict can be managed. Collaborative methods have become very popular, and can effectively address conflicts originating from misunderstandings or differing interests. However, for collaborative processes to be successful when dealing with value-based conflicts, considerable time and a skilled third party facilitator has generally been required.
