Abstract

Worldwide, leader is the person in an organization who directs, manages and controls at least one person. The purpose of this study is to internationally examine the relationship between leadership decision-making and resolution of conflict. Author is aiming to provide a comprehensive global literature review of leadership decision-making and conflict management. Alternative dispute resolution methods are to support persons and expressly leaders with several levels of conflict solving. Author interviewed leaders through a questionnaire survey how they decide in case of conflict: do they prefer court procedure or the possibilities of alternative dispute resolution? From 124 answers the paper‘s main finding is that leaders prefer alternative dispute resolution if they can choose. Methodology is different regarding the 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 [1]. The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI) assesses an individual’s behavior in conflict situations, in which we can describe a person’s behavior along two basic dimensions: (1) assertiveness, the extent to which the individual attempts to satisfy his or her own concerns, and (2) cooperativeness, the extent to which the individual attempts to satisfy the other person’s concerns.

In trust based relationships liability has a significant role, to be liable for our decisions we may recognized as a profit in society, and look at Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) approach as a progress, society is going to focus regarding that this process can bring for the individual as well as for the community the greatest benefit. Several studies work with buyer-seller conflict management, as Celuch et al ascertain the aim to address how trust interacts with attributions to impact the effect of partner communication on conflict resolution perceptions in buyer-seller relationships [2]. It can be a change in societies to look at conflicts with another aspect
