Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the role that conflict management styles play in the relationship between interpersonal conflict and workplace bullying. Design/methodology/approach – A survey study was conducted among 761 employees from different organizations in Spain. Findings – Results suggest that an escalation of the conflict process from task related to relationship conflict may explain bullying situations to some extent. Regarding conflict management, attempts to actively manage conflict through problem solving may prevent it escalating to higher emotional levels (relationship conflict) and bullying situations; in contrast, other conflict management strategies seem to foster conflict escalation. Research limitations/implications – The correlational design makes the conclusions on causality questionable, and future research should examine the dynamic conflict process in more detail. On the other hand, to the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study empirically differentiating interpersonal conflict and workplace bullying. Originality/value – This study explores how conflict management can prevent conflict escalating into workplace bullying, which has important implications for occupational health practitioners and managers.

Purpose – This paper aims to investigate the relationship among emotional intelligence (EI), conflict management styles (CMSs) and innovation performance, and test the mediating effects of various types of CMSs. Innovation is playing a more and more critical role in the survival and development of companies. EI is assumed to be an antecedent of employees’ innovation performance. Conflict is an inevitable phenomenon in organizations, and different CMSs have different impacts on individual performance. Design/methodology/approach – Research data were obtained from 159 employees in the construction industry in China. SPSS 19.0 was used to test and verify the hypotheses concerning the relationship among EI, CMSs and innovation performance. The authors also conducted a 500-times bootstrapping to verify the mediating roles of different CMSs. Findings – Results indicate that EI is positively and significantly associated with integrating, compromising and dominating styles, as well as innovation performance in the construction industry. In addition, the integrating style has a significantly positive relationship with innovation performance. This research also confirms the mediating effect of integrating style on the relationship between EI and innovation performance. Practical implications – The authors recommend that managers, especially in the construction industry, who are willing to maintain high levels of innovation performance of employees can provide EI training programs. In addition, to improve innovation performance, companies should provide employees with appropriate training emphasizing the importance of conflict management strategies, especially the integrating style. Originality/value – Limited research has focused on the antecedents of conflict management strategies or the relationship between EI and innovation performance. A framework integrating EI, CMSs and innovation performance is put forward and empirical evidence of the relationship between EI and employees’ innovation performance is provided. This research helps to have a better understanding of the relationship between EI and innovation performance by introducing the integrating style as a mediating variable.

Background/Aims Both emotional intelligence and conflict resolution are believed to be crucial to organisational leadership, particularly in healthcare settings. This study investigated the relationship between emotional intelligence and conflict management. Methods This descriptive-analytical study was conducted with 194 staff in Yazd, Iran, in 2018. Two standard questionnaires were used for data collection and data analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 21. Results There was a significant negative relationship (r-0.438) between emotional intelligence and conflict management as a whole, and between all the sub-dimensions of emotional intelligence (self-awareness, self-regulation, social consciousness and relationship management) and conflict management. Conclusions Research on the relationship between emotional intelligence and conflict management is divided, but this study suggests that high emotional intelligence does not always indicate that an individual will use conflict management strategies. More research is needed in this area, particularly in the context of healthcare settings.

Conflicts are considered to be the most unpredictable issues in organisations. It is mainly associated with the opposing of ideas and actions which results in causing a hostile state among the members that affects the performance of the organization. Hence, it is imperative for the organization to develop conflict management strategies for avoiding conflicts that can support in its growth. The aim of the following study is to evaluate the relationship between the conflict management strategies and economic growth of the organisation. The research design that is selected for the following study is triangulation method where the researcher attempts to explain the association between the conflicting management strategies and economic growth through interview, questionnaire survey and literature. As per the questionnaire survey, 85professionals has completely provided with the data. In this manner, the correlation technique is performed in which it was identified that the conflict management and economic growth has significant and positiveassociation. Moreover, the types of strategies that are associated with the economic growth comprises of accommodation, collective bargaining, compromising and confrontation whereas avoidance is found to have insignificant association with economic growth.Moreover, the factors responsible for the conflicts are poor communication and information gap. The adverse effect of not resolving conflict is that it leads to demotivation of employees and lower productivity.

The aim of this scientific research article is to describe the satisfaction with pairs’ relationship and conflict management strategies choice correlation between technoference. Pairs’ relationship, their formation and long-term existence is influenced by different factors, however, important to prescribe their existence is both partners' satisfaction with them. Quality of the relationship depends on overall life satisfaction. Studies on satisfaction with the pairs relations have a tendency to grow, as evidenced by the number of research databases. For example, in 2015 the database APAPsychNet they are 32 studies, but by June 2016 already 20 studies of the relationship, which are studied more new aspects that are not so far been adequately studied. Studies have been conducted on the use of technology devices impact on pairs’ relationships satisfaction with the relationship (for example, Sidelinger, Avash,et.al., 2008, Coyne, et.al., 2011). Available sources is a study that analyzes satisfaction with the pairs’  relationships correlation with technoference (technical devices in use caused by  disruption in the pairs mutual communication), which leads to the conclusion that in this perspective the topic has not yet been adequately studied (Coyne McDaniel, 2016). This study will be determined not only technoference correlation with the satisfaction of pairs relationship and conflict management strategies choice of partners, but will also explore what device causing the most disruption and whether there is technoference correlation with conflict management strategies.
