The purpose of this study is to examine the factors influencing interdepartmental confilict in the military hospitals. Relatively little attention has been given to the conflict in the hospitals, especially within military hospitals. Delving into the realities of organizational conflict would provide us an insight of how to handle it. The questionnair survey was conducted for the 254 officers working in 8 military hospitals nationwide. The mean index score of interdepartmental conflict was 14 on the 5-25 point scale, indicating the conflict level was modest. Using t-test and ANOVA, we found that interdepartmental conflict was different by marital status of physicians or educational level of nurses. Next, we examined a causal model using multiple regression method. The personal characteristics of the respondents and the organizational characteristics - intradepartmental relation and interdepartmental relation - were included in the model as the independent variables. From the analysis, we found that working years at the organizations, type of work term, intradepartmental reliance or cooperation, interdepartmental redliance or resource management were significantly related to interdepartmental conflict. The effect from these variables, however, was different across three departments.

While universities are making every effort to improve the housing welfare of university students by establishing new dormitories, the construction of school dormitories has intensified the conflict with other certified real estate businesses on the basis of their right to survival. Thus, it is necessary to analyze the causality in the conflict to coherently understand the conflict between these stakeholders. To do so, this study conducted a survey questionnaire on certified real estate businesses in the vicinity of private universities with dormitories in the metropolitan area. This study targeted licensed real estate brokerage agencies that conclude rental contracts in view of different stances, and control the real estate rental market by controling their conflict. Investigated the influence relationship between universities and licensed real estate brokerage agencies in relation to construction of private university dormitories and the effect of this conflict on management performance of licensed real estate brokerage agencies, and analyzed the relationship among relevant variables to see if their dormitory recognitions have a moderating effect. In addition to analyzing the causality of conflict level (perceived conflict, expressed conflict), conflict management, conflict outcome, and management performance, the study also verified the moderating effect of perception on dormitory and the mediating effect of conflict management. The results showed that conflict level had a negative (-) effect on conflict management, while the perceived conflict and conflict management of the conflict level had a negative (-) effect on the conflict outcome. In the relationship between perceived conflict and conflict outcome, conflict management had a complete mediating effect while expressed conflict had a partial mediating effect. Lastly, the perception of university dormitories did not have a moderating effect for the influence of conflict management on conflict outcome.

The mediating role of attachment to parents was also explored in the relationship between parental marital conflict and peer relationships. Two hundred eighty four 8th graders participated in this study. The participants answered questionnaires regarding parental marital conflict, attachment to parents, qualify of their friendship, and attachment to peers. The main results of the study are as follows: First, adolescents who perceived a higher level of parental marital conflict reported less positive feelings and more negative feelings toward their friends. They also reported lower peer attachment, and tended to perceive their friendship functions negative. Second, adolescents who showed stronger attachment to their parents reported more positive feelings and less negative feelings toward their friends. They reported higher peer attachment, and perceived friendship functions positively. Third, adolescents who perceived a higher level of parental marital conflict showed weaker attachment to their parents. Finally, attachment to fathers and mothers mediated the association between parental marital conflict and peer relationships. In other words, parental marital conflict had an indirect effect on peer relationships. The results suggest that attachment to fathers and mothers that resulted from parental marital conflict played an important role in determining peer relationships among adolescents, rather than the existence of the parental marital conflict itself.

Although much research has been conducted to identify the influence of culture on conflict management and resolution behaviours in organizational settings, no study has been done yet in the construction industry particularly in considering the influence of individual level individualistic and collectivistic values. Despite the key role of self-construal in explaining or predicting behaviour in interpersonal conflict, it has not received enough attention in construction management. Reflecting this necessity, the objective of this exploratory study was to establish, through the application of the Rahim Organizational Inventory (ROC II) instrument, how the cultural values of professionals of construction businesses relate to the application of different conflict-handling styles through self-construal. Data were collected using questionnaire surveys from construction professionals working in contracting firms. The findings illustrate the importance of self-construal type as an individual-level cultural variable in explaining the differences in the style of handling interpersonal conflict in the context of the construction industry.
