Identifying Conflict within the CM PAk (ZONG)
INTRODUCTION T O R ESEARCH
The purpose of the research is to be able to determine about conflict that would be
helpful in developing an effective conflict resolution plan for the CM PAk (ZONG).
Conflict resolution is important because of the fact that conflict is unavoidable. Conflict
is inevitable in every organization because the business environment, both external and
internal, experience changes constantly. Due to globalization that enables multiculturalorganizations, differences in cultures, beliefs as well as behavior can be observed in
many of organizations, more particularly, those international companies. Due to the
cultural differences, disagreements, debates, differing perspective as well as justice
struggles have become predictable in all of companies and organizations in the world
(Pammer & Killian 2003, p. 3).
Websters Dictionary (1983) defines conflicts as sharp disagreement or opposition of
interest or ideas. In other words, what I want does not match what you want. Stephen P.
Robbins (2003) defines conflict as: a process that begins when one party perceives that
another party has negatively affected or is about to negatively affect, something that one
party cares about. When conflict occurs in the workplace, it can reduce morale, lower
work productivity, increase absenteeism, and cause large scale confrontations that can
leads serious and violent crimes.
Understanding conflict and how it can be used for effective resolution strategies isimportant for effective communication, productivity and performance of employees in
the workplace. Therefore, I select my dissertation topic to identify conflict within the CM
PAk (ZONG). CM PAK (ZONG) is a private limited company with a Board of Directors

comprising representatives of the Government, industry associations and the private
sector .
Cellular industry is one of the most aggressive and dynamic industry. It plays an
important role in the economy of a country. It influence many integrated economic
activities, like resource mobilization by providing fast communication and poverty
elimination by offering jobs.
China Mobile Pakistan (CMPak) is a 100% subsidiary of China Mobile. The pioneering
overseas set up of China Mobile came through acquisition of a license from Millicom to
operate a GSM network in Pakistan.
So far CMPak has invested more than US$1500 million in the telecom sector in Pakistan
up to the end of year 2008. With ambitious plans to cater to the fastest growing Pakistani
market and to win over the ever demanding Pakistani customer, it will be offering
unprecedented coverage, voice and data services as well as a wide range of tariff options
to choose from.
CMPak's edge comes from the experience and expertise of running the world's largest
telecom service and the commitment they make to setting quality and customer relations
standards.CMPak is geared to offer neatly packaged VAS products that will benefit the individuals,
corporate as well as small businesses. Led by a team of professionals from the field of
cellular communication, CMPak is determined to make its mark in the Pakistani market
and to change the way people communicate.

SCOPE OF THE RESEARCH
Identification of conflict within organization is one of important task of Human Resource
Department. Because it is a big source of creating any problem and often it is viewednegatively. So conflict resolution is important for effective communication, productivity
and performance of employees within a workplace. With the help of this research I will
identify any conflict within CM PAk (ZONG) and will measure its impact on employees.
Conflict resolution will increase employees morale, trust on management, and
involvement in decision making and will create more employees satisfaction from their
jobs. It will also decrease absenteeism, disagreement and confrontation. This research
will not help only to this CM PAK (ZONG) management but will also be helpful to
students and researchers.

L ITERATURE REVIEW
Conflict simply means lack of agreement in terms of beliefs, practices and in other
human activities. When two or more principles, point of views as well as beliefs areclashing in nature, and havent been aligned or agreed about yet, it is called conflict
(McNamara 2008).
There are different problems and dangers that are associated with the conflict
management. First is that it can affect the productivity of the employees and staffs of a
given organization or company. Furthermore, it can also lower the morale as well as
motivation of the employees. It can also cause more and continued conflicts that will
worsen the situation, and lastly, it can cause different unsuitable behaviors and actions
(McNamara 2008).
On the other hand, conflict also has its positive side. It can help to raise and eventually
address the different problems that are happening in the organization. It can also help to
increase the productivity by energizing the employees to be on the most appropriate
issues. It can also pushes employees to participate in different activities by bringing out
their real self as well as their best. Above all, conflict can help employees to learn the
process of recognizing as well as learning the advantages of the employees differences
(McNamara 2008).
The said advantages and disadvantages of conflicts, shows that it is inevitable. Therefore,
conflict cannot be considered as a problem, but when a specific conflict is not managed
properly, it becomes a huge problem.
It has different levels, which are: intrapersonal or intra-psychic conflict; interpersonal
conflict; intra-group conflict; and inter-group conflict. The four types of conflict are:
intrapersonal conflict; interpersonal conflict; intragroup conflict; and intergroup conflict.

Intrapersonal or intrapsychic conflict means conflict occurs within an individual. Of
course, this is understandable because interpersonal communication means
communicating to ones self. Roots of conflict in this level can be ideas, thoughts,
emotions, values, predispositions or drives. The person basically reflects in those roots
and creates conflict with how he or she will react. Conflict within self is closely related to
psychological and psychiatric field because it is linked with cognitive theories, behavior
change theories, motivation theories, etc.
Interpersonal conflict, on the other hand, is the second major level of conflict, which
means conflict between two or more individual people. In other definition, it is the
interaction between persons expressing opposing interests, views, or opinions.
Interpersonal conflict is a process that has three main stages. The first stage of
interpersonal conflict is when the person is faced with a choice between two or more
incompatible options or goals. The conflict manifests in the second stage when
interaction reveals that the two persons involved in the process want different things, but
they think that these differences can be resolved. Then in the third stage, the parties
perceive that there is no mutually acceptable outcome and unwanted sacrifices must be
made for resolving their differences. Personal interests come first in the third stage. There
are winners and losers and exercises of power likely dominate the process.
Interpersonal conflict has different levels of its own. The different levels of interpersonal
conflict include: behavioral conflicts; normative conflicts; and personal conflicts
mentioned these levels for intimate conflicts, but basically, they can be applied to
interpersonal conflicts in general. Behavioral conflicts include conflict over specific
behaviors, such as different preferences for management style, leadership, team building,
recreational activities, and doing tasks and jobs. Normative conflicts involve conflicts
over the unique norms and rules of the relationship. Finally, personal conflicts concern a
persons characteristics, dispositions, and attitudes including life values, selfishness,
inconsiderateness, and human relations. Intragroup conflict takes place within a small
group, basically on teams and committee members within a particular organization. In
6

this level, conflict is analyzed as it affects the ability of the group to resolve disputes
and continue to achieve its goals effectively.
Then, intragroup conflict takes place within a small group, basically on teams and
committee members within a particular organization. In this level, conflict is analyzed
as it affects the ability of the group to resolve disputes and continue to achieve its goals
effectively.
Finally, intergroup conflict is a level of conflict that involves large number of people -
for instance, conflict that takes place between unions and management, warring nations,
feuding families, or community action groups and government authorities. Conflicts can
occur within groups and between groups simultaneously.
In the organizational setting, the types of conflict are: C-type conflict; and A-type
conflict. C-type conflict means that employees or members of a particular team focus on
substantive, issue-related differences of opinion that tend to improve team effectiveness.
In this type of conflict, different ideas are being taken into consideration through
effective communication. It allows members to contribute openly and honestly to the
teams decision-making process while maintaining acceptance by team members and
creating greater commitment.
On the other hand, A-type conflict decreases the effectiveness of the group by allowing
personal feelings or someones own agenda to deter the members from the teams
objective. This type of attitude can basically prevent creativity as ideas of change are
barred with personal feelings and agenda. further stated: Creativity is limited by the
members reduced ability to contribute input due to the increasing hostility, anger and the
elimination of trust.

R ESEARCH Q UESTION
A research question is developed to determine the answer to a problem. My research
question is to identify conflicts and how CM PAK (ZONG) resolve conflicts that will
help the manager in decision making process that ultimately brings efficiency and
effectiveness to the organization.
P OPULATION AND SAMPLE
Population refers to the entire group of people, events or things of interests the researcher
wishes to investigate. While sample is the subset of entire population. CM PAK (ZONG)
is an information technological advanced industry within Pakistan. It has workforce
strength of round about 2000. It will be impossible for me to collect data from all the
employees throughout Pakistan for my research. Because, the workforce and offices are
very much diverse. Therefore I will select three regions to check Conflicts exist in CM
PAK (ZONG). These regions include Islamabad and Peshawar. In these regions 100
employees will given Questionnaire and among them 30 will be selected for interviews
of 15 mints. These two primary data collection tools will enable me to identity conflicts
and reason for conflicts in Pakistan Export Software Board, which leads to accuracy, and
precision of the results.
DATA C OLLECTION M ETHODS
I have planned that I will collect my research data from two sources.
1. Primary Sources
2. Secondary Sources
1) Primary Data
Primary data is the main source for data collection. Personal trait, behavior and job
task will be analyzed through the following tools: Questionnaire Personal Interviews
2) Secondary Data

DATA ANALYSIS
Accurate data collection and application of different tools will enable me to identify
conflicts among employees and departments. Further it will help me to find out factors
that causes conflicts. This research will help the CM PAK (ZONG) to manage conflicts
which will bring efficiency to both employees and management.
T IME FRAME
The total time that will be required for the completion of the dissertation is
approximately 2 months and 19 days. The time schedule is given in appendix A.
IS THE R ESEARCH NEW AND R ELEVANT ?
As telecome industry is boosting in Pakistan and little research work is being done on
conflict management in telecom industry. Thus I justify that this research is new and
relevant. It will reduce conflicts in CM PAK (ZONG) and other organizations can be
benefited from this research.
