The ”other” perspective on conflict management : A Qualitative study with the employee´s perspective on conflict management (English)
Abstract [sv]

Studiens syfte är att undersöka medarbetares respons på konflikthanteringsstilar vidorganisationsförändringar driven av digitalisering. Studien använder hanteringsstilar frånmodellen The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI) utformad av Thomas ochKilman (1974). Digitalisering blir allt vanligare och är något som organisationer måsteimplementera för att fortsätta vara konkurrenskraftiga. Förändringar drivna av digitalisering,precis som alla sorters förändringar, kommer att skapa konflikter. Hur dessa konflikterhanteras av ledare är centralt. Medarbetarnas perspektiv har hamnat i skymundan gentemotledarens perspektiv inom forskning och denna studie vill lyfta vikten av just medarbetarna.Genom fokusgruppsdiskussioner har vi kunnat analysera medarbetarnas respons tillkonflikthanteringsstilarna som presenteras av TKI.Studiens slutsats är att medarbetaren har en betydande roll i konflikthanteringen, då derasrespons avgör utfallet av hanteringen. Vår studie finner även en samstämmighet med tidigarestudier, trots att olika perspektiv speglas.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of the study is to analyze employee's response to conflict management styles inorganizational changes driven by digitalisation. The study uses the model The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI) designed by Thomas and Kilman (1974).Digitalization is becoming more ordinary and is something that organizations need toimplement in order to remain competitive. Digital-driven changes, like all kinds of change,will create conflicts. The employees' perspectives have been overshadowed by the leader'sperspective in research and this report wants to highlight the importance of the employee.Through focus group discussions, we have been able to analyze employee's response to theconflict management styles presented by TKI.The study concludes that the employee has a significant role in conflict management, as theirresponse determines the outcome of the action. Our study also finds consistency with previousstudies, although different perspectives are reflected.
