BRITISH CULTURE CONFLICT WITH MANAGEMENT STYLES

BRITISH CULTURE CONFLICT WITH MANAGEMENT STYLES

Research Background

According to Zhang et al. (2017), the U.K. is a multicultural society, and most of the managers have different management approaches style for conducting the entire task. In recent times, there have been several styles adopted by the management to develop a suitable management style in the U.K. Most of the organizations in the U.K. are relatively dispersed and focuses on adapting various methods for managing employees in the organization.

It is analyzed that diversity in handling various cultures by the management faces several problems in the U.K. In the present era, conflict arises in more than 70% of the control of the company in handling various cultural diversity in the United Kingdom.  The management of most of the renowned organization’s operations in the U.K. like Tesco, Aviva, and HSBC has several problems in handling employees adopting British Culture. It provides a direct impact on employee motivation and develops ineffectiveness in the market (Ayub et al. 2017). There is a development of several conflicts among the management to create systematic interaction for managing culture in the U.K. It provides a direct effect on the control and functioning of the work within the company. Moreover, management has to develop a diverse set of measures for handling conflicts in managing diversity in British Culture. In the modern-day world, there is the presence of various employees working together in multiple organizations in the U.K. The implementation of active factors in managing conflict within the management helps in resolving problems in the organization in the U.K.

In the present day in the U.K, there is the presence of a diverse set of cultures that provides a direct effect on the management. In the U.K., out of the total companies, more than 80% of the management styles fail to adopt proper management style for handling existing situations (Gonçalves et al., .2016). The reduction of appropriate strategies developed by the management provides a direct impact on the operations in the U.K.

Literature Review

According to Ranta (2018), the management of an organization is exposed to various contexts and developing appropriate strategies for handling a diverse workforce. The presence of a wide range of cultures in an organization extends a wide range of tension and conflict within the management. On the other hand, the presence of a uniform strategy by the management helps in developing suitable strategies for handling a diverse range of problems in British Culture. In the recent period, there is a presence of multicultural practice in the U.K and extends a range of diversity among the employees. Furthermore, culture is an essential part of the firm that provides a long term effect o with the operations and helps in developing suitable communication styles with the employees. It provides a long- term effect on the strategy of the firm and helps in adopting an appropriate approach for minimizing conflict in the U.K.

Moreover, in an organization, there is a need for developing core values by the management to create bonding among employees working from various cultures (Ozturan and Ulgen, 2017). There should be the development of appropriate commitment by the administration to handle conflict and evaluate principles of working in the U.K.

The management has to develop long- term vision for implementing appropriate strategies in resolving relevant problems faced by the workers in the U.K. Most of the administration in the U.K. adopts an informal approach for handling employees and develop working culture (Caputo et al. 2018). There is a development of negative attitudes within the managers and employees and build a sense of conflict among one another.

According to Ellis (2018), conflict management is a way of developing a suitable strategy for reducing differences among various parties involved in the working culture. It is a formal method developed for handling long- term issues faced by the workers in the organization in the U.K and improve a suitable lifestyle.

In British culture, there is the presence of arrogant culture that provides a long term effect on the operation of the management in handling any issue at the company. The development of a uniform organizational culture helps in integrating control of the conflict and create a positive approach for achieving long term objectives (Wang et al., .2016).

On the other hand, inadequacy in development of appropriate strategies by the management provides a sense of tension and creates conflict among one another. The development of proper principles in marinating uniform working culture helps in reducing anxiety among one another and manages organizational success (Leveillee, 2018). It is implemented as a direct indicator of the growth of appropriate conflict management processes by the management in handling issues related to the operations.

Furthermore, there is a development of a conflict situation among the management and the culture adapted by the people in the U.K. for several decades. Most of the authors have expressed that the administration used to analyze appropriate literature adapted by the people in the U.K and develop muscular coordination among one another. Moreover, implementation of suitable strategies ensures the development of systematic procedures by the management to encounter conflict situations in the U.K. It helps in evaluating the effect of practical management skills in developing uniform principle for handling various problems in handling people belonging to the culture at the U.K. The utilization of effective strategies helps in minimizing instability in operations and improves coordination (Reiche et al. 2018).

Most of the management focuses on utilizing appropriate conflict issues and develop long term relations with one another (Guo and Spina, 2019). In British culture, the extensive focus is provided on creating an aggressive culture and provides an effect on the overall relations with the employees in the organization.

The development of cultural intelligence strategy by the management helps in interpreting appropriate ways for handling different perceptions of the employees. It provides a direct effect on the morale of the employees and helps in the reduction of conflict situations within the management (Brown et al. 2019). The implementation of adequate strategies developed by the control of the organization helps in improving the motivation of the employees and creates a sense of co-ordination among one another.

Moreover, the development of a systematic strategy ensures stability in the operations and reduces any type of misinterpretation among one another (Subramanian et al. 2016.). It is a crucial strategy developed for handling tough situations and creates a suitable working culture in the U.K. Most of the management focuses on evaluating systematic strategies for eliminating any type of indipserancy and generate positivity in the minds of the employees.

Research Methodology

According to Saunders et al. (2012), there is the presence of five layers in the research methodology and is referred to as the research onion. The research onion helps in evaluating various levels of the research structure and adapts a suitable strategy for completing the entire research process. It is a procedure used to conduct comprehensive research in a step by step process.

Research Philosophy

Research Philosophy is a process developed for gathering, interpreting and evaluating data used in conducting the research process. The purpose of this method is to develop appropriate methods for transforming appropriate arrangements for realistic approaches. There is the presence of two types of philosophy in the research methods.

Interpretivism approach

The above research can use philosophy for systematically conducting an entire study. Most of the data collected by this approach have to be undertaken by developing a qualitative approach and based on the assumptions and beliefs of the respondents.

Positivism Approach

The above research can also use positivism approach by developing a suitable analysis of the available statistics to the researcher. It helps in gathering appropriate review of the data and generates proper facts and figures regarding this research.

Research Approach

A deductive approach is a process used to develop accurate hypotheses and systematically conduct the entire research process.

The research will use an inductive approach that focuses on implementing appropriate theories and develop observations in data to various data by the researcher.

Research Design

The researcher adopts a qualitative approach for providing an in-depth analysis of the views from various managers of the organization for developing appropriate strategies in handling the overall working culture at the company. It helps in gathering a wide range of opinions from different personals in the management of the organization and develops coordination.

Data Collection

The researcher will develop a purposive sampling method for collecting data in conducting the entire research. The researcher will lead one to one interviews with various types of personnel in the management of the organization. It helps in interpreting appropriate information from the control in the U.K. for handling conflict in marinating the necessary working culture (Chen et al. 2016). Purposive Sampling is a suitable process developed by the researcher for analyzing overall judgment developed by various people in the management during the interview process.

The researcher looks for evaluating various information interpreted from the management’s ineffective handling of the conflict in British Culture. It helps in providing relevant information for developing appropriate strategies in handling conflict problems regarding governance and the employees in the U.K. The development of suitable data for the researcher helps in implementing appropriate strategies for minimizing conflicts with one another in the organization (Hickman and Silva, 2018). It is a suitable approach developed for handling long- term issues while handling disputes and implement strategies.

Most of the researcher finds difficulties in interpreting the appropriate reliability of the data gathered from the interviews conducted on the managers of an organization. There should be a relevant research process adopted by the researcher for evaluating the credibility of the data collected and provide suitable solutions. It helps in the systematic collection of the data and ensures the suitability of the approach conducted by the researcher. The implementation of proper data interpreted by the researcher helps in evaluating the importance of an appropriate data collection process for finishing entire research within the stipulated time.

Data Analysis

Data analysis is a process of interpreting and arranging data gathered from various respondents in the interview process. In this research, the researcher develops a close-ended questionnaire for conducting the entire investigation. The researcher uses MAXDA software to improve computer data analysis. The development of thematic analysis helps in evaluating numerous patterns in the data for conducting complete research by the researcher. It helps the researcher to develop a suitable summary of the existing data and present the entire study in a proper process.

Research Issues

Research Limitations

The researcher focuses on conducting entire research on specific communities involving managers of renowned organizations in the U.K. Hence, it does not justify appropriate views of every section in the society of the U.K. for developing suitable approaches in handling conflict-related problems. It only coves a part of people in a single geographical location. There is the scope of further study in the research by focusing on gathering appropriate data from managers belonging to several organizations in the U.K. It helps in assessing suitable approaches for implementing appropriate strategies by the management to reduce conflict within the British culture.

Ethical Considerations

In the research, the researcher should develop suitable privacy for interpreting and collecting appropriate data during the interview process from the managers. The development of confidentiality among the information provided by the researcher during the interview process helps in conducting entire research in a suitable method. It helps the researcher not to reveal information about the investigation to any outsider and carry on the whole study. The development of privacy in the information in the underlined research helps in managing the systematic flow of analysis. The researcher has to protect the identity of the interviewer by not disclosing the identity and maintain suitable communication with the interviewer.  It helps in formulating effective strategies for conducting the entire research within time and protect the contents of the study.

Challenges

The development of the interview process with managers of various organizations requires lots of time and money. The researcher can adopt a mixed approach in collecting data from the respondents for providing accuracy in the information provided in the research. It hampers the entire research process and creates an unsystematic collection of the data in the study.
