Abstract: This article examines the levels of conflict in the structural units of the Regional Directorate "Agriculture" Blagoevgrad (municipal departments of agriculture and Central Administration) and the influence of the hierarchy, age, gender and professional experience of the employees on them. In the article, the degree of disturbed relationships at the workplace was assessed by using the Questionnaire for the Assessment of Conflict Relationships according to A. Velichkov (2005), and with it the existing level of conflict in the Directorate was specified.The questionnaire was designed to diagnose conflicts in the organization according to the Bulgarian environment and culture. 16 questions are formulated, which are assessed on a 5-point Likert scale, for the frequency of the conflict interactions described in them. The proposed tool was validated by Velichkov for the Bulgarian population and application in organizations. The questionnaire has shown high internal consistency (Cronbach's ?=0.91) from a study in an organizational setting. To determine the level of conflict, the three-level scale proposed by the author was used. A high degree is associated with the presence of conflicts, and low values reveal the absence of conflicts in the organization. As a result of the conducted research, the main conclusions are summarized.
