Allowing the colleagues to work together to come to a solution will generate team-building skills and will likely create a stronger relationship between the two. Even if they come up with the identical solution -- moving one person into a private office -- the process will empower both workers and the solution is less likely to lead to future problems down the road.
Another process solution to this conflict might stem from ongoing team-building exercises. In fact, groups that participate in regular group cohesion exercises are less likely to experience conflicts and such a process may effectively have solved this problem before it began. When colleagues are given the chance to get to know each other in a non-threatening environment, they will build relationships. As a result, they will be more aware of the personal circumstances each of their colleagues...
In this case, the worker who was causing such a disturbance might have stopped for agreeing to hold loud meetings in her cubicle. Being aware of her colleague's need for quiet, s/he might have suggested the loud meetings take place elsewhere, thereby creating conditions for workplace harmony without ever having to mediate a conflict. Proactive team-building is therefore a second path toward effective conflict resolution.

Conflict Resolution: Scenario Analysis The purpose of this research paper is to find theories and ways on how people deal with conflict on a smaller scale. Conflict arises from differences. It occurs whenever people disagree over their values, motivations, perceptions, ideas, or desires. A deep personal need is at the core of the problem, such as a need to feel safe and secure, a need to feel respected and valued, or a

Conflict Resolution According to Forsyth, D.R. (2009), conflict resolution can be described as the techniques as well as processes undertaken in smoothing the progress of the nonviolent conclusion of disagreement. Over and over again, dedicated members of a group make efforts to come up with a solution to a group conflicts by enthusiastically relaying information regarding their conflicting intentions or beliefs to the entire group and by engaging in joint give

The author asserts that collaboration involves being interested in ensuring that the desires of all team members are met. Employees that implement this type of conflict resolution tend to be solution oriented and the resolution to the conflict often results in a remedy that neither

Lincoln (2001) elaborates on this point by asserting, "Diffusing heated arguments, identifying issues, setting emotions aside, and learning new ways to communicate enables the disputants to incorporate the processes and problem-solving skills of mediation, negotiation, and collaboration. The impact of illustrating, modeling, and blending conflict
