Conflict Management

In: The Arab Executive

Abstract

The main interest in this chapter is on conflict between the Arab executive and his immediate subordinate during or after the decision-making process. Specifically, we are interested in the extent of such conflict, and how the Arab executive uses his power to manage it. In general, the Arab executive experiences relatively low opposition from his immediate subordinates. The executive reduces the frequency of conflict either by ‘authoritarian’ behaviour and/or by frequent consultation with his subordinates. Furthermore, the Arab executive prefers to avoid open confrontation whenever conflict occurs. This is done either through the mediation efforts of a third party or by complete avoidance of the issue in conflict.
