Reference no: EM13185391

Two people in your workplace are in conflict. You have heard from other employees that it was about rumors and gossip. You ignored it at first and hoped that it would go away. Now you see that it is affecting morale and production throughout your division/department. Other employees have gotten involved and are now taking sides. You don't even really have a good grasp on what it is all about, but you know that you know have to take some type of action, as it has escalated. Which of the five direct conflict management approaches (accommodation/smoothing, avoidance, competition, collaboration, or even compromise or authoritative command) would you use to address the situation, and why? How would you apply it to the situation of conflict that the employees are having? Be specific.
