Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 8
Abstract
The study investigated the influence of conflict resolution strategies on the morale of teachers in selected schools in Ikenne, Ogun State, Nigeria. Two research questions and five null hypothesis guided the study. Research design of the ex-post facto type was employed. Two hundred and fifty (250) teachers were drawn from both public and private primary and secondary schools in Ikenne Local Government Area through stratified random sampling technique. The conflict resolution strategies scale by Rahim (1983) with 32 items and the Purdle Teacher Opinionaire by Rempel and Bentley (1967) with 16 items were used to obtain information from the respondents. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions while multiple linear regression analysis and t-test were used to test the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed a high level of teacher morale amongst teachers in Ikenne. There was a significant combined influence of conflict resolution strategies on teachers’ morale. Compromising, competing and avoiding individually and significantly predicted teacher morale with competing contributing the highest (65.4%) followed by avoiding (54.8%) and lastly by compromising (54.6%). The result also showed that teachers in Ikenne Local Government Area use compromising often in resolving their disagreements. No significant difference existed on the influence of conflict resolution strategies on teacher morale based on school ownership.The study recommends that teachers in this study area should keep on using compromising as a conflict resolution strategy since its use has really contributed to a high level of moral amongst them.
