Abstract

The objective of this research was to investigate the types of conflict management practices in use in Irish employers, at this time. It was felt that the time was right for an investigation of this sort, because of the change currently
taking place in the Irish state dispute resolution landscape, and the importance of conflict management to the effective management of the organisation.

In order to research this topic, a quantitative study was carried out to examine what conflict management practices were in use, whether organisations had adopted any Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) procedures, and whether
employers were utilising any innovative methods of conflict management and resolution. The research also examined the effectiveness of the conflict management practices under investigation in order to infer a relationship between these and the grievance rate in organisations.
