Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between leadership decision-making and resolution of conflict. The aim of the study is to provide a comprehensive literature review of managerial decision-making and conflict management. Alternative dispute resolution methods are to support persons and expressly leaders with several levels of conflict solving. Reorganization, resolution, restoration, evaluation and conversion are available to provide persons, parties with methods. Not the same tools are used by different types of leaders from different dimensions, as transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire leader dimensions. This approach treated conflict styles as individual disposition, stable over time and across situations. It is argued and supported by literature that leadership styles or behaviors remain stable over time and are expected to be significantly related to conflict management styles (Hendel, 2005). Despite the universal acceptance of leadership importance in corporate settings, research so far investigated leadership styles as determinants of conflict management styles are population-specific, including nursing managers (Hendel, 2005), university academic staff (Paul, 2006) and healthcare professionals (Saeed, 2008). Furthermore, the findings in the referred studies are not consistent, and this issue seems to be at an exploratory phase that requires further investigation to establish the relationship. Blake and Mouton (1964) and Rahim (1992) tried to measure the strategies in which individuals typically deal with the conflicts.
