Gregorio Billikopf (September 23, 1954 in Santiago, Chile -July 5, 2023 in Citrus Heights, California)

was a Chilean mediator, author, and, from 1981, a farm advisor specializing in labor management for
the University of California, Davis.

Career

In May 2005, Billikopf accepted a visiting faculty appointment as an honorary professor of


agricultural labor management at the University of Chile in Santiago.[1]

Billikopf was a frequent national and international speaker (including United States, as well as in
Russia, México, Canada, Uganda, Colombia, Argentina, Spain, Japan, New Zealand[2] and his native
Chile) in his field.[1]

His agricultural extension research and teaching efforts focused on such topics as employee
selection, compensation, performance appraisal, discipline and termination, supervision,
interpersonal relations, conflict resolution, and interpersonal negotiation skills. [citation needed]

Billikopf received the 1989 National Association for County Agricultural Agents (NACAA) Achievement
Award and the 2006 Distinguished Service Award. He received a number of other awards from
NACAA, including two National Winner communication awards: Webpage in 1999 (Agricultural Labor
Management); and Publication in 2006 (for his book Labor Management in Agriculture: Cultivating
Personnel Productivity, 2nd Edition, 2003).[citation needed]

Billikopf authored numerous articles published in academic journals and several books. These
included Labor Management in Agriculture (1994, 2003)[3] and Party Directed Mediation: Facilitating
Dialogue Between Individuals (3rd Edition, 2014),[4] which portrays practical examples of party-
directed mediation, a specialty within the field of alternative dispute resolution. He presented his
two mediation models, party-directed mediation (PDM) and Negotiated Performance
Appraisal (NPA), for dealing with peer to peer conflict and supervisor-subordinate conflict,
respectively, at the International Association for Conflict Management [IACM]
