Abstract: Conflict is an inevitable part of every effort. In the realm of management, conflict management is a newer concept. Individuals' actions and the conflict's outcome may be profoundly affected by these characteristics. If the manager is unable to successfully manage conflicts and find solutions, it might cause problems. This research examined intragroup conflict and strategies for resolving it in the context of management at Ethio Telecom's headquarters. According to preliminary survey data collected for this study, numerous disagreements occur at Ethio Telecom despite the presence of laws and regulations meant to prevent them. Therefore, the study's stated objective was to evaluate the elements impacting Ethio Telecom's central office's conflict management strategy. The main objective of the study is to investigate determinants of workplace conflict in Ethio Telecom head office. This study employs a quantitative methodology. The researcher employed a descriptive research strategy to complete this report. To conduct this research, we used data from all 2512 workers at Ethio Telecom's headquarters. In this study, respondents were chosen using a basic random sample method. As the population is very consistent, a random sample may be taken from it with little bias. A total of 138 workers participated in the study's sample. As the mean score was just 2.88, it may be inferred that the vast majority of respondents did not place a high priority on the interdependence dimension. All five potential categories of conflict at Ethio Telecom are positively correlated with employees' degrees of conflict management skills, the findings show (at the 0.01 level). A regression model was employed in the research to examine how much of the variation in successful conflict management may be attributed to controllable variables. the model's predictor variables have successfully explained 91.5% of the observed variance. This suggests that the model's independent variables account for more than 91.5% of the variance in the factors influencing successful conflict management at Ethio Telecom. Identifying the gap in department cooperation, Ethio Telecom should involve department heads in order to help them forge strong bonds to cooperate well with another departments, which in return facilitates effective experience sharing between departments.
