This research paper investigates the impact of conflict management styles on employees’ individual performance within higher education sector in Syria. The research employs quantitative methodological approaches, and aims to collect data via questionnaires distributed to academic and administrative staff members applying a quota sample approach, selected from private universities in Syria. Based on prior research on research question, the expected finding of regression analysis is predicted to show significant and positive effect on collaborative conflict management style on employees' individual performance, suggesting that fostering collaboration in conflict resolution can improve employee outcomes. This collaborative approach emphasizes open communication and teamwork, which are critical for increasing productivity and job satisfaction.  The sample of the study is a limitation of the study. The geographical focus could restrict the findings' generalizability, as differences in workplace culture and external factors may influence outcomes in different settings. To gain a more detailed comprehension of these dynamics, future studies could benefit from examining bigger sample sizes across diverse sectors and geographical areas. By addressing these limitations, future studies can contribute to a deeper understanding of effective conflict management styles at private higher education sector in Syria and beyond.
