Question

A team member has come to your office to complain that a fellow team member is never available for meetings before noon and seems to ignore her requests to follow proper processes. Which of the following does this describe? Choose Two.
A. This describes a situation where the forcing conflict technique should be used.
B. This describes an expert judgment conflict.
C. This describes a common cause of conflict.
D. This describes a situation where the negotiating conflict technique should be used.
E. This describes varying work styles.

Answer 1

Answer:

C). This describes a common cause of conflict.

E). This describes varying work styles.

Explanation:

As per the question, options C and E describe the given situation. The representation includes distinct work styles that are a familiar cause of conflict(some team member not available for noon meetings and ignores requests). Thus, the forcing and working-out of conflict-resolution methods would not be appropriate in this situation as the key reason for these conflicts is due to variation in work styles and not any kind of clash or disagreement. Therefore, options C and E are the correct answers.
