Reflection Questions The Big Bang: The Evolution of Negotiation Research 1) This article argues that extraversion and agreeableness affect negotiation processes and outcomes. Explain why by using the definition of extraversion and agreeableness as outlined in the lecture notes in C02 or the textbook for Introduction to Organization Behaviour. People who are more friendly or “softer” tend to have worse outcomes as a negotiator. These people are more extraverted and agreeable- in other words, more talkative, cooperative and generous). This means extraversion and agreeableness can put negotiators at a disadvantage because they increase their susceptibility to the other party’s persuasion. 2) Explain how any 2 of the 5 inter and intrapersonal skills (as outlined by Hogan & Warrenfeltz in Educating the Modern Manager) can affect the negotiation process and outcomes. Use the technical or scientific definitions of negotiation outcomes or processes given in the negotiation article by Leonardelli & Thompson and skills given in the Hogan & Warrenfeltz article when explaining your answer. a) Social skills can affect the negotiation process. Those with higher social skills will allow for better communication and persuasion techniques to sway the other party into the agreement, especially when the negotiator has a goal/aspiration in mind. b) Self-esteem can affect the negotiation process. Those with low self-esteem find that they don’t have much self-confidence. This will make it difficult to be assertive or propose another alternative to the other party’s offer. It can also be hard for the negotiator to persuade the other party if they do not have much confidence in themselves to do so.
