Some organizational psychologists theorize that most people have specific “styles” for approaching workplace conflict. One theory, for example, posits that there are five different conflict styles in the workplace, including the Ostrich (who avoids conflict at all costs); the Diplomat (who seeks compromises that benefit him the most); and the Warrior (who finds conflict to be energizing and may seek it out). While such theories won’t necessarily encompass everyone's "style" neatly, they offer a general framework for understanding why some employees shy away from conflict and others seem to revel in it.
