Dealing effectively with workplace Conflicts is a great challenge in employees' interactions at work. Conflict is almost inevitable in individual and organizational life because it stems from so many different factors. This study aimed to promote understanding of Conflict and Conflict management styles in organizations. For this purpose, a sample of 43 managers and employees of an educational institution (university) were randomly selected. Appropriate statistical analysis including Mann-Whitney test, Pearson Correlation, and X2 were utilized to analyze research data that was collected by using Dubrin and Rahim questionnaires.The findings of this article show that, although, there is no significant difference among managers and employees in perceived Conflict, managers perceive more Conflict than employees in this organization. Furthermore, results show that major styles of Conflict management among employees are compromise and avoidance styles, although there is no significant difference among managers and employees in using Conflict management styles. Some support was found for the effect of age, education & tenure on Conflict management styles.

The career and family interference Conflicts have existed from the past, but today it has become more widespread than before, and this research attempts to design a model of dynamic systems of double contradictions, the work-family Conflict, and the family-work dimensions for construction project professionals. In order to design a proposal based on the dynamic approach, Vensim software has been used. First, based on theoretical and theoretical foundations, the components that affect the Conflict between work-family and family-work Conflict were identified. Then, based on the equation between identified variables, a dynamic model of work-family Conflict and family-work Conflict was presented. The simulation results showed that construction project professionals experience a high level of work-family Conflict. It was also found that improvement in occupational flexibility and organizational support can have a positive impact on the satisfaction and performance of construction project professionals from the point of view of work and family. In addition, improving family support significantly improves their job satisfaction.

This study was conducted to propose an explanation model for mother-daughter Conflict based on mother personality, maternal marital Conflict, mother Conflict resolution style and daughter Conflict resolution style. This study was a type of correlation studies relying on multi variable regression statistical sample and structural equation model. The sample included 160 pairs of adolescent girls and their mothers. They were randomly selected from guidance school students in Naeen city. The research instruments included parental attitudes index, child attitude toward mother scales, Conflict management styles, marital Conflict questionnaire and NEO-FFI. Structural equation modeling results indicated that measured variables in this study totally could explain 71% of daughter Conflict with mother changes and 59% of mother Conflict with daughter changes (P<0.05). Among the variables, daughter Conflict resolution style with 55% prediction power of daughter Conflict variance and maternal marital Conflict with 29% prediction power of mother Conflict variance had the most important roles. The fit indexes supported the usefulness of this model.

The aim of this study was to analyze the semiotic representation of patterns in the television series of male and female relationships. Therefore, using a semiotic approach to examine three popular Iranian TV series in years 2009, 2010 and 2011 were examined. The results show three different patterns in male and female relationships in several TV series: tradition discourse, semi-traditional discourse, and modern discourse. Each of these patterns have been identified in various media messages. Tradition discourse is characterized by no relationship between male and female. But the semi-traditional discourse is accepted a limited and legitimate part of the traditional relationship between a boy and girl before marriage. In both cases, the specified view is with a good representation. On the other hand, it has also been encountered in the national media with the pattern representation of the modern discourse of male and female relationships. Characteristic of modern patterns is forming strong relationships before marriage between male and female; Modern discourse has always been associated with negative representation in the national media in Iran. Conflict between "tradition and modernity" and "love of wisdom" was a major confrontation in the series television in Iran.
