Organizational Conflict Management
Conflict Resolution Quarterly
Since 1984, Conflict Resolution Quarterly has published scholarship on relationships between theory, research, and practice in the conflict management and dispute resolution field to promote more effective professional applications. Conflict Resolution Quarterly is sponsored by the Association for Conflict Resolution. CRQ uses a double-blind peer review process and is the most widely distributed journal in the fields of ADR and Conflict Resolution in North America.
Articles may focus on any aspect of the conflict resolution process or context, but a primary focus is the behavior, role and impact of third parties in effectively handling environmental and/or public policy conflict. All theoretical and methodological orientations are welcome. Submission of scholarship with the following emphases is encouraged:
• Discussion of a variety of third party conflict resolution practices designed for dispute prevention and resolution in workplaces or other organizations including use of Ombudsman’s offices, peer review, dialogue, facilitation, facilitated negotiation, mediation, regulatory negotiations, fact-finding, arbitration, and training.
• Analyses of strategies for infusing organizations with a proactive conflict management (CM) culture designed to reduce employee turnover, improve morale, reduce litigation, improve customer satisfaction, reduce the incidence of fraud and misbehavior, etc.
• Analyses of the cost of conflict in organizations or cost savings from the application of Conflict Management processes, techniques and training.
• Managerial coaching or other managerial actions designed to convey CM practice.
• Sensitivity to relational, social, and cultural contexts that define and impact conflict within organizations including studies of organizational justice.
• Discussion of conflict resolution training and education processes, program development, and program evaluation and impact for programs focusing on the development of more competent conflict resolution in educational, organizational, community, or professional contexts.
A defining focus of the journal is the relationship between theory, research and practice. All articles should specifically address the implications of theory for practice, include a 100 word abstract, and be approximately 7500 words in length. CRQ uses a double-blind peer review process to assure fair and equal access to all authors.
