Abstract

An integral component of projects which is necessary for their realization are people. In that case interpersonal conflicts on projects are inevitable. In addition to process and task conflicts, interpersonal conflicts represent one of the important determinants of project success, and therefore it is important to determine which conflict management style is the most dominant. Since previous studies have confirmed the importance of conflict management, this research examined the conflict management style of 29 project managers and 97 project team members. All surveyed project managers and project team members are engaged in projects in Serbia. The results of this empirical research show that the most dominant project managers’ styles are Compromising, Integrating and Dominating, while team members’ are Compromising, Integrating and Avoiding.
