this purpose, the survey questionnaire was considered as a tool to get responses from
103 employees. In this study, the statistical tools that were used to analyze the levels of
variables are mean and SD values, while relationships were measured by Pearson
coefficients and linear regressions for further simple regression analysis. Moreover, the

variables, denoting a negative relationship between conflict management and
workplace bullying too, where most of the literature commonly supports such a
negative relationship. Hence, this study helps administration directors, especially
