Conflict Management Styles of School Administrators of Rural State Universities in Samar Island, Philippines

This study aimed to determine the conflict management styles of school administrators of rural state universities in Samar Island, Philippines. Majority of the school administrators perceived themselves together with the faculty and non teaching staff as avoiders. School administrators think that conflict should be avoided in favor of harmony and that conflicts may damage the harmonious relationship of the group. They are afraid that if the conflict continues, someone will get hurt and the relationship will ruin. Thus, avoiders stay away from the issues over which the conflict is taking place and from the persons they are in conflict with. With the null hypothesis being not rejected, it can be concluded that school administrators, faculty and non teaching staff shared the same views as to the avoider conflict management style. However, since there was a significant difference between the perception of the school administrators and the faculty and non teaching staff on the school administrators' compromiser, accommodator, controller, and collaborator conflict management styles, then it showed that these respondents have varying perceptions over the conflict management styles manifested by school administrators.
