Summary: | The
purpose of the present study is to determine the relationship between Turkish
Technic Inc. employees’ conflict management styles and perceived organizational
support. The sample of the study which was conducted with correlational and
descriptive survey models consisted of 1443 Turkish Airlines employees. A
28-item Conflict Management Style Scale, which was developed by Aflazur (1992)
and adapted to Turkish by Boz (2012) and an 8-item Perceived Organizational
Support Scale, which was developed by Eisenberger, vd. (1986) and adapted to
Turkish by Boz (2012) were utilized as the data collection instruments. Pearson
correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationship between the
variables and regression analysis was carried out in order to determine to what
extent conflict management styles would predict organizational support. The
results demonstrated that both the score on perceived conflict management
styles and the score on perceived organizational support of Turkish Technic
Inc. employees were at medium level. It was indicated that there was a
significant relationship between employees’ perceived conflict management
styles and perceived organizational support. Conflict management styles was
found to be one of the dimensions that predicted perceived organizational
support. Similar studies are recommended with individuals employed at different
institutions and organizations for further research in the area.
