dc.descriptionStrikes of various types and for various reasons have become a common occurrence as the government and academia’s policymaking relationship has become increasingly inconsiderate. This study was necessitated by the apparent non-recognition and reluctance to plunge into interpersonal conflict in universities. Hence, this study investigated the influence of avoidance, dominating, compromise, obliging and integrating conflict management strategy on the commitment of faculty in selected public universities in Southwest Nigeria. Smart PLS 3.0 was used to analyse only 416 copies of the questionnaire, representing an 83% response rate. The findings demonstrate that conflict management methods such as avoidance, dominating, compromise, obliging, and integrating substantially impact academic faculty affective, normative, and continuance commitment. The study finds that academic staff at various universities should encourage compromising, integrating, and obliging conflict management tactics to be more involved in the settlement of the conflict. As a sequel to the findings, it was recommended that when settling conflicts, academic staff and management should always consider the feelings of other parties involved, as this will go a long way in satisfying all affected parties. Furthermore, parties in disagreement should be open-minded and willing to listen to each other to make the best and most sensible conclusion when resolving conflict. Universities administration should teach the different techniques of handling conflict so employees will be able to choose the appropriate approach when faced with conflict situations, especially when faced with interpersonal conflict.
