Conflict, which is an inevitable event in an environment where different personalities and ideas meet can present itself as a serious obstacle in the path of a team oriented business activity. This study seeks to clarify managers and workers behavior in the face of possible conflicts in an Iranian organization, which is a new issue of interest. Results of a field study reveal the solution strategy as the preferred style of the participants, followed by control and non-confrontation strategies.
