Abstract: A conflict is a disagreement between two or more parties (people/group). Within organizations, conflicts are inevitable. Conflict that occurs in an organization cannot be distinguished but can be prevented. The right tool to prevent conflict is by managing the conflict effectively. Effective conflict management will stop conflicts from spreading widely in an organization. Therefore, importance is given to conflict management; organizations must discover ways to effectively manage employees' conflict which will result in their employees' attitudes and behaviors to be excellent in order to deliver maximum work quality for the team and contribute towards organization's success. This article discusses the styles in handling conflicts among employees and the organisational commitment factor that influences them in selecting appropriate styles. This study has employed Thomas Kilman mode instrument to identify styles in handling conflicts. By combining dual dimensions i.e. concern of self and concern for others, this instrument has introduced five styles in handling conflicts namely avoiding, dominating, obliging, compromising and integrating. Through this paper, we want to discuss the meaning of conflict in the organization, the conflict process and possible conflict management styles.

Key Words: Conflict, Organisational commitment, Management styles, Conflict process.
