Abstract

This study focuses on determining the conflict management style of selected 3rd and 4th year students at the College of Teacher Development (CTD) of the Philippine Normal University (PNU). Literature on systems approach in organizational analysis, culture and conflict, negotiation and conflict management system design is presented and used as basis for the research framework. Hall's (1969) conflict management style survey is used as the main instrument and basis for the analysis of research results. The study reveals that the respondents are open to the use of several conflict management styles in addressing interpersonal conflicts.
