Worldwide, leader is the person in an organization who directs, manages and controls at least one person. The purpose of this study is to internationally examine the relationship between leadership decision-making and resolution of conflict. Author is aiming to provide a comprehensive global literature review of leadership decision-making and conflict management. Alternative dispute resolution methods are to support persons and expressly leaders with several levels of conflict solving. Author interviewed leaders through a questionnaire survey how they decide in case of conflict: do they prefer court procedure or the possibilities of alternative dispute resolution? From 124 answers the paper‘s main finding is that leaders prefer alternative dispute resolution if they can choose. Methodology is different regarding the types of leaders from different dimensions, as transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire leader dimensions. This approach treated conflict styles as individual disposition, stable over time and across situations. It is argued and supported by literature that leadership styles or behaviors remain stable over time and are expected to be significantly related to conflict management styles [1]. The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI) assesses an individual’s behavior in conflict situations, in which we can describe a person’s behavior along two basic dimensions: (1) assertiveness, the extent to which the individual attempts to satisfy his or her own concerns, and (2) cooperativeness, the extent to which the individual attempts to satisfy the other person’s concerns.

This paper establishes the fact that Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is evolving in Nigeria.

Choosing the appropriate conflict resolution procedure is paramount to proper and effective conflict management. An important impetus for the choice of the most suitable procedure is provided by § 278a of the ZPO (Germany’s Code of Civil Procedure), which enables judges to suggest a range of out-of-court alternative dispute resolution procedures, including mediation. In this study, the author analyses the regulatory content of § 278a of the ZPO as well as the function and potential of the provision to act as an interface between court proceedings and extrajudicial mediation. Using the finding that judges rarely propose that litigants switch to extrajudicial mediation, the author empirically examines the reasons for the cautious application of § 278a of the ZPO and develops a set of comprehensive recommendations to optimise the procedural interface.

This article examines the dispute resolution practices of Fair Work Australia that are evolving to deal with individual workplace rights, as its traditional role shifts away from conciliating and arbitrating collective industrial disputes. The workplace rights enshrined in the ‘general protections’ provisions in Part 3-1 of the Fair Work Act 2009 protect employees and prospective employees from any ‘adverse action’ taken against them because they are exercising a workplace right, or because they fall within one of the protected categories, such as the right to be free from discrimination. A broad range of alternative dispute resolution processes is now available to Fair Work Australia in dealing with such disputes. Alternative dispute resolution processes are seen as a way of avoiding costly and time-consuming litigation, and in some circumstances can improve access to justice for individuals. This article explores whether Fair Work Australia is likely to adopt different dispute resolution approaches from its traditional conciliation practices when managing ‘general protections’ applications, and whether the framework for dealing with these disputes will facilitate fair recognition and enforcement of workplace rights.

Citizen groups that participate in alternative dispute resolution processes have overcome many of the barriers described in Sherry Arnstein's classic article, “A Ladder of Citizen Participation.” A well-structured collaborative process can remedy some of the imbalances and other stumbling blocks inherent in traditional forums, broadening the issues considered as well as the potential solutions. At the top of the ladder, there exists a three-runged extension of choices. First citizens must make the strategic choice whether or not to participate in the dispute resolution process. Second, if they choose to participate, citizens must then determine how to do so effectively. Citizen representatives can significantly influence the outcome of a negotiation if they pay attention to the critical components comprising the dispute settlement process and ensure that these are satisfactory at the outset. They must also maintain effective communication with their constituencies. At the third rung, citizen groups confront the need for continued involvement, both to ensure implementation of any agreements reached, as well as to capitalize on the productive working relationships and opportunities for further influence provided by their participation in this process.

Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) includes dispute resolution processes and techniques that act as a means for disagreeing parties to come to an agreement short of litigation. Despite historic resistance to ADR by many popular parties and their advocates, some courts now require some parties to resort to ADR of some type, usually mediation. The rising popularity of ADR can be explained by the increasing caseload of traditional courts, the perception that ADR imposes fewer costs than litigation, a preference for confidentiality, and the desire of some parties to have greater control over the selection of the individual or individuals who will decide their dispute. In Indonesia based on the Law No. 30/1999 concerning Alternative Dispute Resolution and Arbitration, ADR is interpreted as alternative to adjudication as it is reflected in the title of the Law No. 30/1999. Based on article 32 the collateral forclosure is enable to be done. The procedure of this were adopting the procedure of the collateral forclosure in civil court.Keyword : Alternative dispute resolution, collateral forclosure.

This chapter provides an overview of investment treaty arbitration, where a host state’s consent to investor–state arbitration is contained in an investment treaty. The first section explains the basic features of investment treaty arbitration, and compares it to other dispute resolution processes—such as domestic and international courts, investor–state arbitration based on contracts, as well as state-to-state arbitration. The second section describes different institutions and arbitral rules for investment treaty arbitrations. It outlines the phases of investment treaty arbitrations and the core features of the arbitration process, such as the choice of remedies. The third section deals with issues that arise following the conclusion of an investment treaty arbitration—notably, the review, enforcement, and compliance with arbitral awards. The fourth section evaluates two potential alternatives to investment treaty arbitration—alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and litigation in domestic courts.

This chapter focuses on alternative dispute resolution (ADR), which is used as a collective description of various methods of resolving disputes other than through the formal adversarial processes of litigation or arbitration. It emphasizes how ADR is now recognized in construction industry standard form contracts that provide for dispute resolution processes. It also mentions courts in the UK and throughout the world that support and actively encourage ADR, specifically in England and Wales that includes ADR as part of the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR). This chapter considers the use of ADR to assist in resolving disputes in the construction industry. It concentrates on mediation but also looks at negotiation and early neutral evaluation.
