Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 6
Abstract
Life generally is all about survival of the fittest, since we are in a competitive world. The present study investigated competitiveness among employees in the workplace: the influence of conflict handling styles and organisational types. Participants were 308, comprising 189 male and 119 female, employees sampled using purposive sampling technique. Two instruments; Hypercompetitive Attitude Scale by Ryckman, Hammer and Gold (1990) and Dutch Test for Conflict Handling by De Dreu, Evers, Beersma, Kluwer and Nauta (2001) were used for data collection. It was hypothesized that conflict handling styles and organizational types will not significantly influence employees‘ competitiveness. The results indicated that conflict handling styles and organizational types significantly influenced employees‘ competiveness. It was concluded that the unhealthy hyper-competitive behaviour of employees will threaten the peace and harmony among employees and the organisation in general.
