The t-test, ANOVA and regression were used to analyze the data.Results: The results of this research showed that the compromise style was the most frequently used method by principals followed by collaboration and accommodation, domination and avoidance, respectively. There was a significant association between the principals’ level of income and the use of collaboration and accommodation styles.There was a statistically significant difference between gender and the use of the five fold approach in the domination style. Overall, there was a significantassociation between the principals’ demographic characteristics and theconflict management style choices.Concolusion: The principals should notice that conflict is inevitable inorganizations and they should consider the opinions and ideas of both parties involved in the conflict.
