Abstract: Conflict cannot be avoided since it is an inevitable aspect of work teams. Conflict may be defined as a struggle or contest between people with opposing needs, ideas, beliefs, values, or goals. Conflict on teams is inevitable; however, the results of conflict are not predetermined. Conflict might escalate and lead to nonproductive results, or conflict can be beneficially resolved and lead to quality final products. Therefore, learning to manage conflict is integral to a high-performance team. Although very few people go looking for conflict, more often than not. Conflict management involves acquiring skills related to conflict resolution, self- awareness about conflict modes, conflict communication skills, and establishing a structure for management of conflict in organizational environment. This paper presents types of conflict describe the benefits and detriments of conflict and present the causes of conflict. Strategies are also presented to prevent and to effectively manage conflict.

Work-family conflict total score average is 49.63 ± 13.15, life satisfaction total score average is 15.19 ± 4.63, and job satisfaction average score is 3.45 ± 0.74. According to the correlation analysis results; A negative relationship was found between work-family conflict and life satisfaction and a negative relationship between work-family conflict and job satisfaction.
