Managing Conflict in Teams and Examining Hiring Assumptions. Research Notes.

Jordan, Debra J.

Camping Magazine, v69 n1 p17-18 Sep-Oct 1996

Research shows that well-managed conflicts can enrich a group, if good (cognitive) conflict is encouraged and bad (affective) conflict is discouraged. A model developed to understand how disabled people are treated at work suggests that there is a need to change beliefs about, as well as behavior towards, disabled people. Implications for camp are discussed. (TD)
