Abstract: This study was conducted to understand the conflict management strategies of administrators and teachers. Data was collected from a sample of randomly selected 250 school administrators and teachers working in seventeen primary schools, public and private, in the Van province of East Anatolia, Turkey. Three conflict management strategies (competing, avoiding, and compromising) were examined in terms of task and school type. Results indicated that administrators are more likely to use avoiding and compromising strategies than teachers. Moreover, both administrators and teachers at private primary schools tend to use compromising, avoiding and competing behaviours than their colleagues at public schools.
