Abstract
During the project realization, disagreements arise and cannot be avoided. Project complexity, various participants, stakeholders' interests, task requirements, and tight project deadlines create an environment for conflict issues. Every individual engaged in the project responds to conflict differently and has a distinct conflict management strategy. Therefore, this research aims to get deeper insights into conflict management styles’ differences in specific demographic characteristics. Empirical research was conducted to obtain this study's objective. A total sample of 114 employees from project-based organizations operating in the Republic of Serbia was collected. The findings of the ANOVA test revealed that participants’ responses differed in terms of age, work experience, and project type. Findings provide valuable insights by examining differences in conflict management styles and identifying behavioral patterns and variations based on demographic factors.
