Leadership style of a manager may have an influence on the choice of conflict management strategy. It has been reflected in the literature but no significant effort has been put to examine this issue in Indian context. The present study explores the relationship between the six styles of leadership: pioneering, strategic, management/administration, and team, pastoral and encouraging styles and five styles of conflict management: problem solving, asserting, avoiding, compromising and accommodating. The findings support the claim of positive impact of leadership on conflict management.

Abstract This paper is a review of conflict management styles and conflict resolution from the managers and supervisors’ point of view. Conflict is an inevitable fact for any organization. Leaders should understand and apply various conflict management techniques and conflict resolution styles in order to form strong relationships with subordinates. Conflict is a situation when two or more parties are in disagreement. Unresolved conflict can negatively impact the success of an organization. So, leaders must learn how to address and manage conflict depending on the situation and the party involved. While the internet has increased organizational performance, it has also added new types of conflict. Workplace conflicts may result in absenteeism and affect employee loyalty. Keywords: Conflict management, Conflict resolution, Internet conflict

A wide divergence of opinion exists on the source and effect of conflicts on corporate productivity and the effectiveness of the various strategies available for managing them. It has been argued by some that conflicts are signs of a vibrant organization while others contend it is destructive and capable of retarding stability and profitability of organizations. Using a student t distribution to test the significance of response and purposive sampling technique to administer a self-design questionnaires to 220 respondents cutting across staff of Bokko Local Government Council of Plateau State, revealed that the main sources of conflict in the organization relate to perception and value problems. The specific issues bother on employee compensation and welfare while managers prefer the compromise, problem solving and dominating strategies to minimizing the incidence of organizational conflicts. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that strategies which promote industrial democracy should be chosen by management as the preferred option in dispute resolution. In addition, the ideal level of conflict resolution required to attain optimum performance for every organization is unique and situational hence managers are duty bound to establish the best maintainable by the organization.

In the current business environment employees in the banking sector face multitude challenges and obstacles in their daily jobs. These threats offer unique challenges for the management to manage their organizations well. The challenges that take place in banking organization will affect the employees in one way or another. As such, employees might be faced with conflict due to challenges such as differing needs, beliefs, values and goals among group members in the organization. The purpose of this study is to determine the conflict management strategies adopted by private commercial banks in Bangladesh through the application of Thomas-Kilmann's conflict handling model. Conflict is a common occurrence in organizations. Conflict occurs for various reasons in banking sector. The managers must be able to understand why and when conflict arises and in what situation conflict frequently occurs. Employees have different perspective for choosing different conflict management strategies. Descriptive research design was used in the study. Data were collected from 50 respondents from 5 private commercial banks in Bangladesh. Questionnaire was used as main data collection instruments. The data collected from the field were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques such as percentages and frequencies. The findings of the study suggested that the private commercial banks in Bangladesh use all the five conflict management strategies of Thomas-Kilmann model such as avoiding, competing, accommodating, compromising and collaborating. But the strategy that was most frequently used is collaborating strategy. Collaborating in conflict management means trying to find the best solution for all parties involved. When several parties collaborate to resolve a conflict, they openly express their concerns and work to find a mutually beneficial solution. Collaboration leads to creative problem-solving and respect amongst coworkers in an organization. This style finds the root of a problem, such as personal conflicts, and attends to the situation in the least confrontational manner of any conflict-management style. But in other hand collaborative efforts tend to take the most time compared to other conflict resolution styles as in this style both parties try to solve their problem. As banking sector of Bangladesh is highly competitive, the employees may focus on long term relationship while resolve conflict. Recommendation also made focusing on management as well as employee role for effective conflict handling. collaborative workplace culture and responsive management can play very crucial role in this regard.
