Abstract

Conflicts are a daily reality, and dealing with them can be extremely frustrating and uncomfortable. To be successful, Extension administrators must be able to effectively deal with daily conflicts. This study identified the conflict management styles and Myers-Briggs Type personality type preferences of Extension directors and district directors in the North Central Region and examined the relationships that existed between them.
