description 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.
