A Comparison of Conflict Management Strategies Used by Heads of Educational Institutions in Punjab

Abstract

    The goal of the present paper was to explore the conflict management strategies used by institutional heads in Punjab. A sample of 144 from heads of schools, principals of colleges, and heads of departments of universities was drawn using a convenient sampling technique. An instrument, the Farooqi Organizational Conflict Inventory (FOCI) used for data collection. SPSS 26 was used for data analysis. The results reported that institutional heads employ avoiding and integrating styles of managing conflicts. Furthermore, no difference in the conflict management styles employed by institutional heads based on their gender, qualification, and experience was found except for the administrative background. It was recommended that research be carried out to explore how conflict management strategies of institutional heads affect teachers’ performance.
