The problem of communication among the participants of the educational environment occupies one of the leading places in modern pedagogical science. A natural possibility in an educational organization is the existence of conflict. This article presents the essential role of effective communication in the proper management of conflict within the school environment. It has been proved that dealing with conflicts in educational organizations executives tend to apply different styles of administrative behavior. These mainly include the integration of objectives, concession, enforcement, avoidance and compromise. The choice of conflict management-settlement style depends on organizational communication, the interdependence of individual objectives and the ability of individuals and groups to work together. The article analyses the specific type of communication the educational managers must rely on in order to achieve the collection of information, rational decision making and even the control of the expected results. Organizational communication is an important tool of effective management as executives manage to persuade, motivate and do what their subordinates want. It has been grounded that the crucial factor in effective conflict management through organizational communication is decision making. The article highlights the fact that the value of a conflict is assessed as favorable or not, depending on the participants in the conflict, the means used and the subjective criteria of the participants. The positive causes or constructive actions for the rational management of the conflict phenomenon must arise as a result of the dialectical way of dealing with disagreements, crises and conflicts. Their effective resolution is a positive potential for experience, as it provides an opportunity for stakeholders to get to know the problem, plan and implement positive changes in challenge outdated ways of thinking and develop new ways of working effectively together.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the effect of cooperative conflict management on agreement-seeking behavior, agreement-seeking behavior on decision outcomes, moderating role of competence-based trust on the relationship between agreement-seeking behavior and decision outcomes, and mediating role of agreement-seeking behavior between cooperative conflict management and decision outcomes. Design/methodology/approach Using a structured survey instrument, this paper gathered data from 348 students enrolled in a strategic management capstone course that features strategic decision-making in a simulated business strategy game. The data from 94 teams were collected from the student population using a carefully administered instrument. The data were aggregated after running the inter-rater agreement test and the analyzed to test the hypotheses. Findings The results from the hierarchical regression of the complex moderated mediation model reveal that cooperative conflict management is positively related to agreement-seeking behavior, and agreement-seeking behavior mediates the relationship between cooperative conflict management and decision outcomes. The results also suggest that competence-based trust acts as a moderator in the relationship between agreement-seeking behavior and decision quality; agreement-seeking behavior and team effectiveness, and agreement-seeking behavior and decision commitment. Results also support mediation of agreement-seeking behavior between cooperative conflict management and decision outcomes. Research limitations/implications The present research is based on self-report measures, and hence, the limitations of social desirability bias and common method bias are inherent. However, adequate care is taken to minimize these limitations. The research has implications for the strategic decision-making process literature. Practical implications In addition to the strategic management literature, this study contributes to practicing managers. The study suggests that competence-based trust plays a vital role in decision effectiveness. Administrators need to select the members in the decision-making process who have competence-based trust on one another and engage in agreement-seeking behavior. Social implications The findings from the study help in creating a fruitful social environment in organizations. Originality/value This study provides new insights about the previously unknown effects of cooperative conflict management and agreement-seeking behavior in strategic decision-making process.

Статья посвящена изучению роли преподавательской деятельности в профилактике возникновения межличностных конфликтов в образовательной среде студентов средне-специальных и высших образовательных организаций России. В частности, рассматривается морально-психологическая составляющая обучающегося как фактор, провоцирующий возникновение межличностных конфликтов, а также вопросы, раскрывающие особенности конфликтных ситуаций среди обучающихся в целях развития умения у них регулировать конфликты в дальнейшем процессе обучения. В статье рассматривается особая роль возраста студента, поскольку именно в этом возрастном периоде формируется чувство идентичности и умение самостоятельно решать собственные взрослые задачи. Определены предпосылки возникновения межличностных конфликтов в образовательной среде студентов. В частности, отмечено, что постоянное соперничество и иные эмоциональные столкновения приводят к нарушению личностной гармонии студента и способствуют возникновению различных социальных отклонений в среде обучающихся. В заключение рассмотрены факторы, положительно влияющие на профилактику конфликтных ситуаций среди студентов образовательных организаций, а также представлен комплекс организационно-педагогических условий профилактики межличностных конфликтов в профессионально-образовательной среде средне-специальных и высших учебных заведений России. Отмечено, что минимизации конфликтных ситуаций способствуют хорошо организованные воспитательная работа и учебный процесс, утверждение и поддержание дисциплины, активная позиция преподавателей и воспитателей в трудных ситуациях взаимодействия обучающихся. The article is devoted to the study of the role of teaching in the prevention of interpersonal conflicts in the educational environment of students of secondary special and higher educational organizations in Russia.
