<![CDATA[This article discusses stress management as a preventive strategy for avoiding conflict in educational organizations. The dynamic and complex nature of the educational environment causes educators to face various sources of stress, such as changes in educational policy, heavy workloads, administrative demands, limited resources, and interpersonal conflicts that can affect performance, psychological well-being, and the quality of learning. This study aims to examine the relationship between work-related stress and organizational conflict and to explain the role of stress management as a preventive measure to minimize potential conflicts. The study employs a qualitative approach using library research methods by reviewing various literature systematically obtained from Google Scholar, Garuda, Google Books, and other relevant scientific sources. Data were analyzed using content analysis techniques through a process of concept identification, theme grouping, comparison with previous research findings, and literature synthesis. The results of the study indicate that work-related stress that is not properly managed can reduce emotional stability, disrupt communication, and increase the risk of conflict within educational organizations. Conversely, the implementation of stress management through primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention can reduce sources of stress, enhance individuals’ ability to cope with work-related pressure, and support the psychological recovery of educators. The implementation of these strategies contributes to creating a conducive work environment, strengthening interpersonal relationships, improving the productivity and performance quality of educators, and minimizing potential conflicts. Thus, stress management serves as an effective preventive strategy in fostering a harmonious, adaptive, and sustainable educational organization. ]]>
