Abstract: The current study was conducted to analyse the relationship between Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Conflict Management Styles (CMS) amongst part-time executive students in Business Management Department. The study revealed how each sub-competency of EI is essential in managing conflicts. Responses from 200 participants were analysed to test the proposed hypotheses. The study focused on Asia-Africa cultural dimensions which adds and extends the existing literature. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was performed to find the relationship between the sub-competencies of EI and CMS. The findings revealed that EI competencies had a significant positive effect on CMS except Social Skills.
