Analyzing Organization Cultures
Certain consultants argue leaders can quickly, easily, and considerably alter their organization cultures to improve performance. Conversely, field researchers have described situations where leaders could do little to alter the existing organization culture. Between these extreme positions, a spectrum of varying degrees of leader influence exists, and organizations fall at various places along this spectrum. This book presents five field studies…
The Metamorphosis of Workplace Conflict
The indirect and informal ways subordinates use to ‘get even’ are explored based on a literature review and fieldwork. The multiple causal factors at work and the interactive nature of these scenarios make chaos theory applicable. The metaphor of ‘metamorphosis’ is used to describe how unresolved conflicts twist and change form over time. Five case examples from the USA are included as illustrations. The transformations conflicts undergo are cate…
Subordinate Views in Supervisory Conflict Situations
Workplace conflict has traditionally been approached with legalistic, problemsolving, and power-oriented models. Most dominant organization cultures embody a combination of these models' assumptions.

The key assumptions of all four models are contrasted along si…

Described here are four field studies on managers exercising their prerogatives between formal collective-bargaining nego…
