이문화권에서의 개인간 갈등관리의 성별간 비교연구

The aim of this study is to compare the differences of interpersonal conflict management styles between Korean and Canadian male and female bankers in two countries(Korea and Canada). I have tried to test the hypothesis that there may be significant differences in conflict management styles between male and female bankers in above countries. Results showed that there were no differences in personal conflict management styles-integrating, avoiding, dominating, obliging, and compromising-between male and female of Canadian bankers. However, in integrating style we can find a difference between male and female of Korean bankers while there were no differences in other styles-avoiding, dominating, obliging, and compromising style. On the basis of these findings, discussions and implications were suggested. Further studies examining the different style of conflict management between male and female in various countries are needed to address these issues. This study will give managers some of the special considerations that arise when interpersonal conflict management theory and practice between male and female are applied to intercultural situations. Comparative empirical research has been the subject of analysis and study for the past decades. It is hoped that this study will contribute to enhance cross-cultural research in the field of interpersonal conflict management between male and female.
