Abstract
This research investigates the effectiveness of conflict resolution strategies in military settings, examining the roles of leadership styles, communication techniques, and cultural competence. Using a qualitative approach, the research is examined through thematic analysis to identify common patterns, and evaluation which mostly focuses on transformational, transactional, and adaptive leadership styles, assessing their impact on conflict resolution outcomes. Additionally, the effectiveness of communication strategies, such as active listening and feedback mechanisms, are analyzed. Cultural competence is also explored, with attention to how personnel navigate conflicts in diverse, multicultural environments. Findings indicate that adaptable leadership, clear communication techniques, and higher levels of cultural competence are key factors in improving conflict resolution within the military. This research provides valuable insights for enhancing conflict management practices, particularly in diverse and hierarchical organizations like the military.
