A positive influence plan includes compensation for positive emotions and performance, quality and timely performance evaluations, and timely employee surveys. All of these tools for increasing employee motivation, satisfaction, and performance will not result in immediate change but will allow a manager to identify and assess current and future issues within a team. Increasing an employee’s motivation, satisfaction, and performance is the most difficult aspect of being a manager.

The offenses listed are not intended to be all-inclusive. All offenses allow the Appointing Authority to consider circumstances, which may mitigate or aggravate a penalty. The penalties imposed for violating a rule or rules are determined by considering all relevant circumstances. An employee may be disciplined for violating more than one rule arising from the same incident; however, mitigating circumstances and the relationship of multiple offenses should be considered in determining the level of discipline. The employer recognizes that chronic substance abuse is an illness, and considerations may be made by an Appointing Authority in determining disciplinary action for an employee who is participating in a substance abuse program.

For this paper, you would explain the problem and provide some background on why this problem exists. If the cause is unknown, then you could speculate as to the origin of the issue/problem (consider some of what was discussed in Appendix A). You would discuss what team member conflict is and how too much conflict might be detrimental to your chosen organization (e.g., too much time and money wasted, job satisfaction is low). In essence, why should the organization be concerned about this issue? You need to show how a concept from class (e.g., team conflict) applies to the organization’s situation.
This study examines the relationship between TCP and IIs about conflict. Results indicate that trait TCP is correlated with rumination, that a variety of significant relationships appear between trait TCP and II characteristics, and that trait TCP predicts state TCP immediately after a conflict-oriented II. People often think about interpersonal conflict in the absence of their relational partners (Honeycutt, 2003; Honeycutt & Cantrill, 2001). One way that people work through interpersonal conflict is via imagined interactions (IIs). IIs represent a ‘‘process of cognition whereby actors imagine themselves in interaction with others ...they reflect a distinct kind of thinking in which communicators experience or actually work through cognitive representations of conversation’’ (Edwards,Honeycutt, & Zagacki, 1988, p. 24).

Laurent also states team members bring themselves into conflict when they are really not what the conflict is about (Laurent, 2004). Researchers Jehn, Thatcher, &
Conflict arises from unclear task assignments and lack of structure in most organization and also conflict can occur from inconsistency in workload, understanding of assigned tasks, nonaligned individual goals and performance. There are three main conflict views, the traditional view of conflict, the interactionist view of conflict, and resolution-focused view of conflict. Functional conflict, task conflict, relationship conflict, and process conflict are part of the Interactionist view of conflict. Task conflict can create from unsigned task to a group of people or individually in a team.
