Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
This study examines conflicts management in the administration of local government councils in the Northern Senatorial District of Cross River State, Nigeria. It identifies, analyse, and discuss the causes, as well as effects of conflicts on council’s performance. Quantitative and qualitative data were gathered from both primary and secondary sources. The result of data analyses revealed that staffs who have less conflict in their work setting perform better or are more productive than their counterparts with high level of conflict; a significant negative relationship exists between the presence of conflict and setting of staff welfare and that local government administrators are not properly trained on conflict management. The study also revealed that the administration of local government councils has been hampered by incessant conflicts. The paper suggested among others that proactive strategies and dialogues should be adopted to manage conflicts to forestall abysmal performance and low productivity in the local government areas.
