Conflict Management Styles of Middle-level Academic Administrators: Input to Conflict Development Plan
Abstract
Conflict is endemic to all human and organizational life. It is an inevitable part on organization due to its related situations of division of functions, role disparity, power assertions and limited resources. Conflict arises when two individual or factions are disputing or opposing deliberately or unintentionally. Similar to other organizations, educational institutions are prone to relational conflict over several differences.Thomas-Kilman Conflict Mode Instrument guided this research study (Thomas and Kilman, 1974). The five styles of conflict management devised by Thomas and Kilman are indispensable in the realization of this study. To assess the preference of the middle-level administrators of the Bulacan State University on how to deal with conflicts, assertiveness and cooperation are two key parameters were used resulting to five diverse styles: avoiding, compromising, accommodating, competing and collaborating (optional must be supported by the survey result).
