Conflict Theory

conflict

In psychology , the state in which the strong desire of the two 2-3 that can not be resolved at a time has occurred .

For example , suppose that there are young and wanted to go to the dance at the thought as a member of a population , that myself , the action friends are . However , it is possible to dance that's poor at the young man , get all worked up upright just thinking made ​​fun of a friend . Therefore , this young man is going to be trouble and began to have together the desire you want to avoid the dance in order not to embarrass the desire to want to go to the dance . I want to avoid conflict with access to this type of situation . Conflict takes place one stimulus that provides the motivation is reduced , other stimuli is increased , a new adaptation is needed psychologically.

All of conflict is not painful . Not a big pain - ( access conflict access ) conflict to experience between the two favorite , as is the case you need young man to select one of the vocational and practical work attractive . However , conflict to experience between the risks and threats of the two - usually , ( avoidance conflict avoidance ) can confuse people . Some people loathe their work , but not afraid of me unemployed forever if you quit your job . I can be conflict between the anxiety and the need for such a case is also painful . Children can be afraid to while relying on the mother , the mother rejects the will of their own , to give a punishment . Conflict with fear is not easily resolved , but rather , build up anxiety and helplessness that person . Thus , adaptation to it , may be even more a problem, actually performed in the direction to reduce anxiety.

The conflict , if they are unconscious in terms that it is impossible to clarify why the parties occur pain often . For culture to teach strong impulse such as hostility and fear as undesirable , such impulse is leading to conflict , I would feel the anxiety . However, because you do not know yourself , the cause of the anxiety , become more difficult to the rational thinking about the problem.

Conflict theory

Bureaucracy population professional that is configured in a hierarchical pyramid of expression.

The theory of some , which claims that it must be that the population hostile is gathered to reject the functional approach , the organization tries to promote the understanding that conflict with each other through a variety of strategies are (→ index : interest groups ) . It captures the "total " on these tissues , but the parts that comprise the whole , rather than the norm institutional , is regarded as the population influence policy based on the power basis their status.

< People Men Who Manage that manages > this that I joined a long time in company of six , I wrote you are based on the experience of observing sociologist of America , Melville Dalton , more power and more and more ( 1959) from the point of view of the course of the struggle of endless small group to get a big slice of the reward , and clearly showed the structure of the organization . 

In a unique way , the population and each member of the organization is obsessed how much a small their own interests , even at the expense of the larger interests of the organization , this analysis not without surface that has been exaggerated , their it may be to have some success in order to clarify the current state or to immerse that to expand the powers. 

Besides, this book is that they do look like form and harmony official ideology is camouflage well how struggle followed have available thorough the impact of a stain, such activities in all aspects of organizational life I have also treated .

In an important advance of another book that research for government agencies of France two sociologist Michel black areas of France < bureaucratic phenomenon The Bureaucratic Phenomenon> is ( 1963) , also , the analysis of conflict and power of organization there . According to the analysis of whether black , social structure is composed of a cohesive staff group very , unlike ( Dalton , the black areas , and of each title to show the attitude a little aggressive for a population each other's I ignore the fact that there is a faction in the population) . Each population are trying to manipulate the rules to protect the independence from arbitrary interference and direct all further strengthen the privilege of their own , received from the top group.

A rule , because you will not be able to pick up everything , in the center , " area of uncertainty " is always produced , and around this , conflict of each population or worse , ruled directly , depending examples there are increased . In terms of " Responsibility structure" population can rule the region of "not in control " is very advantageous strategically , to increase the position of power , in order to obtain more rewards organization , I use naturally these benefits.

The study of conflict , and pointed out the great importance of having the political structure of the organization , you have opened up new perspectives for the analysis of bureaucracy of studies and black Dalton as indicated . The human figure as a subject , which resolve these issues organization with a face emotional to pursue stability and emotional friendship , the figure of a man , to determine the intention , in order to enhance their own interests , but also to collective new figure there is a preferential interest in order to follow the power personally " political man" is applied . As long as human beings do not only pursue political purposes uniformly , in the study of organization , a new dimension is going to be a branch of practical approach and more comprehensive.
