Abstract

Objective: This study investigated the fundamental beliefs regarding cross-cultural differences in conflict styles.Methodology: The sample consisted of 46 employees from 2 different countries between Malaysia and Thailand.& &T test analysis was used to investigate the effect of conflict styles on both Malaysia and Thai employees.&Results: Findings revealed that the avoiding and compromising styles are generally the most preferred by both Malaysian and Thai employees; accommodating and collaborating are the next preference, followed by competing. Competing is preferred by Malaysian workers rather than Thai workers.& While, Thai employees use more collaborating style rather than Malaysian Employee. We also found that Thai employees rely more on comprising style than Malaysian employees do.&Finally, the meaning of three of the five styles is different from Malaysian and Thai employees: only avoiding and accommodating conflict styles are interpreted similarly by both groups.& Therefore, we conclude that both Malaysian and Thai experience higher levels of task conflict as they use more avoiding style in their workplace.& Areas for future research are considered to get a further&finding of this research.
