CONFLICT MANAGEMENT STYLES IN RELATION TO CULTURAL DIMENSIONS

Year 2009, Volume: 10 Issue: 2, 245 - 262, 01.12.2009

Abstract

Ulusal Kültüre bağlı olarak örgüt kültürünün boyutları “bireyciliktoplulukçuluk”, “erillik-dişillik”, “düşük güç aralığı-yüksek güç aralığı” ve “belirsizlikten kaçınma” varsayımları olarak yazında da karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu kültürel varsayımların örgüt içinde birçok uygulama, davranış veya değişkenle ilişki içinde olduğu söylenebilir. Bu çalışmada örgüt içinde çatışma çözmeyi ele alış tarzlarıyla kültürel varsayımlar arasında nasıl bir ilişki olduğu irdelenmiştir. Yapılan analizler sonucunda toplulukçu kültürü daha fazla sergileyen bireylerin uyma davranışını da daha fazla sergiledikleri, dişil olanların ise işbirlikçi ve uzlaşmacı çatışma çözme tarzını benimsedikleri görülmüştür. Güç aralığı daha dar olanların uyma davranışını daha fazla sergilediklerini, güç aralığı daha geniş olan çalışanların ise kaçınmayla çatışmayı ele aldıkları görülmüştür. Son olarak ise belirsizlikten kaçınma düzeyleri düşük olanların tüm çatışma çözme tarzlarını benimsedikleri bulgular arasındadır. result of the analyses, it has been found that the higher the collectivist an individual is, the more likely he/she is to accomodate, the higher the feminist an individual is, the more likely he/she is to to cooperate or compromise and lower the power distance an individual has, the more likely he/she is to accomodate whereas the higher the power distance an individual has the more likely he/she is to withdraw when managing conflict. Finally the lower the uncertainty avoidance is, the more likely to adopt all the styles of conflict management
