What do organizations use conflict management for?
For any organization to be effective and efficient in achieving its goals, the people in the organization need to have a shared vision of what they are striving to achieve, as well as clear objectives for each team / department and individual. You also need ways of recognizing and resolving conflict amongst people, so that conflict does not become so serious that co-operation is impossible. All members of any organization need to have ways of keeping conflict to a minimum - and of solving problems caused by conflict, before conflict becomes a major obstacle to your work. This could happen to any organization, whether it is an NGO, a CBO, a political party, a business or a government.
Conflict management is the process of planning to avoid conflict where possible and organizing to resolve conflict where it does happen, as rapidly and smoothly as possible.
Important things to know about "conflict" and "conflict management":
The differences between "competition" and "conflict"
"Competition" usually brings out the best in people, as they strive to be top in their field, whether in sport, community affairs, politics or work. In fact, fair and friendly competition often leads to new sporting achievements, scientific inventions or outstanding effort in solving a community problem. When competition becomes unfriendly or bitter, though, conflict can begin - and this can bring out the worst in people.
Common causes of conflict
Causes or sources of organizational conflict can be many and varied. The most common causes are the following:
-Scarcity of resources (finance, equipment, facilities, etc)
-Different attitudes, values or perceptions
-Disagreements about needs, goals, priorities and interests
-Poor communication
-Poor or inadequate organizational structure
-Lack of teamwork
-Lack of clarity in roles and responsibilities
Conflict between individual
People have differing styles of communication, ambitions, political or religious views and different cultural backgrounds. In our diverse society, the possibility of these differences leading to conflict between individuals is always there, and we must be alert to preventing and resolving situations where conflict arises.
Conflict between groups of people
Whenever people form groups, they tend to emphasize the things that make their group "better than" or "different from" other groups. This happens in the fields of sport, culture, religion and the workplace and can sometimes change from healthy competition to destructive conflict.

Para qué usan las organizaciones la gestión de conflicto?
Para que una organización sea eficiente y efectivo en lograr sus metas, las personas de la organización necesitan tener una visión compartida en lo que están buscando lograr, tanto como, los objetivos claros para cada equipo, departamento e individuo. Además, necesitan maneras de reconocer y resolver conflictos entre personas, para que el conflicto no llegue a ser tan serio que la cooperación sea imposible. Todos los miembros de cualquier organización necesitan tener métodos para mantener los conflictos a un mínimo y para resolver problemas causados por un conflicto, antes de que el conflicto se vuelva un gran obstáculo en sus trabajos. Esto podría pasar a cualquier organización, si es un ONG, un OBC, un partido político, un negocio o un gobierno.
Gestión de conflicto es el proceso de planificación para evitar conflictos donde posible y la organización para resolverlos lo más rápidamente y fluidamente cuando pasen.
Cosas importantes para saber sobre “el conflicto” y “la gestión de conflicto”:
Las diferencias entre “la competencia” y “el conflicto”
“La competencia” usualmente saca a relucir lo mejor de las personas, mientras buscan ser los mejores en su área, si sea en deportes, asuntos comunitarios, la política o el trabajo. De hecho, la competencia justa y amigable muchas veces conduce nuevos éxitos deportivos, inventos científicos o esfuerzos increíbles en resolver un problema comunitario. Sin embargo, cuando la competencia se vuelva hostil o irreconciliable, un conflicto puede suceder - y esto puede sacar lo peor de las personas.
Las causas comunas del conflicto
Las causas o raíces de un conflicto organizacional pueden ser muchas y variadas. Las causas más comunes son las siguientes:
Una escasez de recursos (en finanzas, equipamiento, instalaciones etc)
Actitudes, morales o puntos de vistas distintos
Desacuerdos sobre las necesidades, las metas, las prioridades y los intereses
Mala comunicacion
Estructuras organizacionales inadecuadas o mediocres
Falta de colaboración
Falta de claridad en sus papeles y responsabilidades
Un conflicto entre individuos
Las personas tienen estilos distinguidos de comunicación, ambiciones, puntos de vistas políticas o religiosas y culturas distintas. En nuestra sociedad diversa, la posibilidad de estas distinciones llegando a crear conflicto entre individuos siempre está allí y tenemos que estar alertas para prevenir y resolver situaciones donde un conflicto surge.
Un conflicto entre grupos de personas
Cuando las personas forman grupos, hay la tendencia de enfatizar las cosas que hacen que su grupo sea “mejor que” o “distinto de” los otros grupos. Esto pasa en las áreas de deporte, cultura, religión y el lugar de trabajo y a veces la competencia saludable se puede convertir en un conflicto destructivo.

Bio
My love for Spanish began in high school with a deep need to feel connected to my Latino roots, my Cuban relatives. Upon graduating high school I was given an academic award in Spanish. I continued my studies in Spanish in college, pursuing it as my major and participated in a study abroad semester in Quito, Ecuador. It was in Ecuador that I fell in love with Latino culture and greatly expanded my skills in Spanish. At my college graduation I received an award for Outstanding Student in Spanish as well as High Honors. I returned to Quito, Ecuador and taught English as a Second Language at various academic institutions. I am looking to utilize my experiences and knowledge of Spanish and English as a student and teacher to pursue opportunities in freelance translation and interpreting.
In regards to experience, when enrolled at Michigan State University I took a course in translation where I translated many public documents from Spanish to English and English to Spanish. At MSU I also translated the Michigan Public Health Survey for the IPPSR call center while working there as a surveyor. More importantly, living abroad in Ecuador and working there as an ESL teacher, further forged stronger bonds between my knowledge of the two languages. Constantly switching between English and Spanish as a teacher in Quito, I expanded my knowledge of vocabulary in technical, corporate and tourism industries. Many of my students worked in different industries that required them to use English as a part of their job. I helped many students with translating emails, documents and even presentations so that they would be able to present them in English as well as in Spanish.
I am looking to expand in all areas that I can. As well, I am willing to accept challenges to grow and develop within the translation and interpreting industry. As a college graduate with a BA in Spanish and 7 years experience living and working abroad in Ecuador, I am very confident in my Spanish language skills.
