CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING
This chapter includes the introduction, statement of the
problem, theoretical framework, significance of the study, scope
and delimitation and the definition of terms used.
Introduction
Negotiation skills are important in finding or seeking a job
these days, as they are the most needed thing in our daily lives.
To have a successful negotiation, you must improve your skills.
Negotiation skills are important in both the workplace and in our
personal lives; they can help you achieve long- term career
success, boost productivity, and reduce workplace conflict in our
personal lives; they improve your creative and reasoning
abilities, make it easier for people to take advantage of you,
and make you a better strategist.
According to Katie Shonk etc. al 2022, most of us face
formal negotiations throughout our personal and professional
lives; discussing the terms of a job offer with a recruiter,
haggling over the price of a new car, hammering out a contract
with a supplier. Then there are the more informal, less obvious
negotiations we take part in daily: persuading a toddler to eat
accept a late delivery.
“Like it or not, you are a negotiator… Everyone
negotiations something every day,” write roger Fisher, William
Ury, and Bruce patton.
For centuries, face-to-face learning has been the standard
method of instruction. Teaching and learning is something that
some people require for effective learning. The ability to
collaborate, discuss, and experiment with peers motivates and
encourages students to achieve academic success.
To be successful in negotiations, steely resolve is
required, or resolve may come to mind. The best negotiators, on
the other hand, rely on qualities such empathy and creativity.
This is due to the fact that negotiations always have two sides
and rarely take a predictable path.
The purpose of this study is to determine and evaluate the
effectiveness of face- to-face learning in improving negotiation
skills. This study will make a significant contribution to
helping students improve their negotiation skills in their chosen
strand.
his peas, working out a conflict with a coworker, or convincing a
client to as our wants, ambitions, goals, and positions conflict
with those of others, conflicts arise in both our personal and
professional lives.
Without compromise, differences may grow into disputes,
bitter resentment, and animosity.
The goal of negotiation is to settle these disagreements in
a way that benefits both parties and leaves room for future
discussion
The benefits of bargaining
Negotiation is very beneficial when used:
By utilizing "preventive diplomacy," it is possible to stop
a dispute from escalating.
By enlarging the "pie," it can create vast new areas of
interest for both parties.
By swiftly resolving disputes, it saves both time and money.
By enhancing communication, the likelihood of a successful
outcome is increased.
In court, the judge renders judgment.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The study aims to determine the importance of negotiation
skills among selected Home Economics (H.E) students in Top Link
Global College Inc.
1. Why negotiation is important to our daily life?
2. How does face to face class affect in the skills of home
economics students?
3. What is the importance of negotiation skills to home
economics students in Top Link Global College Inc?
4.Why do we need to negotiate with other people?
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
In this study, behavioral decision theory helps us understand
the choices professionals, consumers, or even voters make when
coming to a decision. Leveraging relationships is an important
element when negotiating in the Philippines. To Filipinos,
negotiating is usually a joint problem- solving process. While
the buyer is in a superior position, both sides in a business
deal own the responsibility to reach agreement. They expect long-
term commitments from their business partners and will focus
mostly on long- term benefits. The primary negotiation style is
cooperative, but people may be unwilling to agree with
compromises unless it is their only option to keep the
negotiation from getting stuck. Maintaining harmonious
relationships throughout the process is vitally important. While
each party is expected to pursue their best interests, Filipinos
disapprove of competitiveness and strive to find win- win
solution.
Some literature on negotiation strategies also presented
negotiation in the area of education, such as Musa, Mansor,
Mufti, Abdullah, and Kasim’s “negotiation skills: teacher’s
feedback as input strategy” (2012) and Lyster’s “Negotiation in
immersion: teacher- student interaction” (2002). In improving
our negotiation skills, we need to interact with other people
face to face so that we can get to know them better and know what
things they will like to facilitate our negotiation of our deal.
Negotiation strategies as defined in business, are interactions
used by parties in conflict to achieve resolution
(Ganesan, 1993). The term “negotiation strategies” appear mostly
in relation to business and buyer-seller relationships,
and in developmental psychology. It is most commonly defined as
interaction patterns used by parties in conflict to
achieve resolution (Ganesan, 1993).
In a study by Matos, Sierra, and Jennings (1998), negotiation
factors were encoded as genes in a Genetic Algorithm to give an
empirical evaluation of a variety of negotiation methods and
tactics in a number of various sorts of environments for buyers
and sellers. Perdue and summers (1991) also reported findings
from a field study of purchasing agents negotiating rebuy
purchases of component parts, noting that the negotiating stance
adopted by industrial buyers is characterized by their reliance
on three basic negotiation strategies: problem solving,
manipulating perceptions about competition, and tough tactics.
In development psychology, Selman (1983) looked at how
negotiating tactics were used in interpersonal dyadic
relationship conflicts of disturbed youth.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This study will be undertaken to find out the “Effectiveness
of face-to-face learning in improving negotiation skills of Home
Economic Students in Top Link Global College Inc.” The results of
the study will be beneficial to the following individuals.
Students. It will help students to have an idea and knowledge on
the results of how students in the Top Link Global College Inc.
and look up to their academic performance if they belong in an
over populated class.
Teachers. This serves as a guide on throw teachers handle the
problem of over population in class.
School. To promote the vicinities of the school because of
building
more classrooms help avoid over population.
SCOPE AND DELIMITATIONS
The main objective of this study is to find out the
effectiveness of face-to-face learning skills of Home Economics
students at the Top Link Global College Inc.
And for gathering the data we need to interview our selected
respondents in Home Economics Students enrolled in the second
semester of the School Year 2022-2023 in Top Link Global College
Inc.

the study because it is the only thing that being asked, our
beneficiaries in this study are the students in Top Link Global
College Inc.
DEFINITION OF TERMS
STRATEGIZE
A strategy is a set of coordinated efforts that lead to a
specific goal. This outcome is determined by a series of choices
that distinguish the organization from its rivals, stem from the
distinctive qualities of the organization, and are challenging to
imitate.
An organizations system for achieving its long term
objectives and mission is referred to as its operations strategy.
It entails making decisions based on a variety of considerations,
including as planning and managing facilities, forecasting,
scheduling, and the management of the supply chain and
inventories for products.
RECRUITER
The process of finding people for jobs and encouraging them
to apply for positions in the company. It involves bringing
together persons looking for work and those who are giving work.
The management and administration of the hiring process is
under the purview of recruitment operations. Candidate sourcing
screening, interviews, and hiring are all parts of this process.
Finding and hiring the best people for the company is the aim of
recruitment operations.
HAGGLING
Is the act of negotiating over the cost of an item or
service until a manually acceptable price is reached. Negotiation
tactic called haggling comprises two or more parties making
successive offers and counteroffers until a deal is reached.
LEVERING RELATIONSHIPS
Leveraging means giving for the sake of giving. It's about
giving to one another or giving it forward because someone first
gave to you.
RESPONDENTS
The one who answers in various legal proceedings, a person
who responds to a poll.
BENEFICIARIES
A beneficiary is a person who receives a benefit, frequently
in the form of a financial transfer. Tax repercussions may result
from distributions. The distribution of the funds in an inherited
retirement account may be subject to a variety of options.
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
The behavioral decision theory has specific view of skills.
The theorydefines negotiation as a joint decision-making
process between two or more parties (Brett et al.,1999; Carroll
et al., 1988; Weingart et al., 1999). Skillful negotiators are
the highly performing ones.
Negotiators performance is measured by their outcome that
ispertinent to their behavior, during the negotiating process
(Galinsky et al., 2002; Neale and Bazerman, 1992; Thompson, 1990)
The theory assumes bounded rationality of negotiators; they will
make impulsive decision and fall for many biases if they are not
skillful (e.g., Neale and Bazerman 1985). Skillful negotiators
are able to minimize irrationality, avoid decision biases and
judgmental mistakes (Bazerman,1994; Bazerman et al., 1985) and
achieve the desired goal of any negotiated task (Brett et al.,
1999; Clyman and Tripp, 2000) keeping their performance at high
levels. Sales empirical literature consistently shows association
among the ability to adapt to the situation, learn and change
strategy during negotiation, understand customers and high
performance of sales people (Park and Holloway, 2003). A question
remains regarding whether transferring negotiation skills is
contingent to the received level of training. The debate
regarding negotiation effectiveness continues to include the
effect of length of training programs on trainee’s performance.
It is not clear whether short programs are of less or equal post
training transfer compared to long programs. Some empirical
studies show that enhanced negotiators performance is due to long
period of training (Northcraft et al., 1994 Polzer and Neale,
1995). Others support that short negotiation training helps to
transfer negotiation skills across situation. Result of a mail
survey to more
than 1,000 physicians and health care professionals show that a
short negotiation training program, one to eight hours, provided
trainees with the necessary skills to negotiate successfully with
behavioral patients (Runkle et al.,2000). Researches might agree
on which training types are more effective but they disagree on
the training level that is enough to transfer negotiation skills.
Results of a survey of negotiation trainers that all supported
simulation as the most effective training method but disagree on
the ideal length of programs (Friedman,1992). The relationship
between length of training programs and negotiation performance
is not investigated in research. The following meta-analyses are
conducted to investigate levels of training that are adequate to
improve post training performance of negotiators.
