Abstract

This study investigated the personality traits and conflict management styles of teachers at Lumaynay Elementary School and its Sangeay Annex in Altavas, Aklan. A mixed-method approach was employed, collecting data from 13 teachers’ participants through standardized and researcher-made questionnaires. Results revealed that teachers exhibited diplomat-protagonist personality traits. Common conflicts arose between teachers, administrators, and students, resolved primarily through collaboration, avoidance, accommodation, and compromise. Statistical analysis showed a significant correlation between conflict management styles and conflict frequency. Semi-structured interviews revealed additional factors contributing to conflicts, including workload burdens on new teachers and seniority-related superiority complexes. Notably, “The war of the Marites” phenomenon hindered effective conflict resolution. Findings inform the development of targeted intervention strategies to enhance conflict management within the school.
