Examining the Effect of the Conflict Management Strategies on Job Performance
Posted on 13 December 2016 by Azlinda Abd Rahim (Library Manager)
Abstract

The rapid globalization of modern business and the challenges to reach sales objectives pose major issues for human resource management. One important area that has yet to be fully explored is the management of conflict between sales and marketing functional areas. We hypothesize that: 1) marketing and sales task conflict is more likely to involve distributive (win–lose) issues and 2) when win–win (integrative) potential exists, the disputants are more likely to approach conflict from a fixed-pie perspective. Our analysis of data collected from food manufacturing industry supports this hypothesis. The application of different conflict management strategies varies depending on whether they are applied to sales or marketing task conflict. The importance of aligning conflict management strategies with the integrative potential of sales and marketing tasks is presented to managers.
