Abstract

This study examines the impact of conflict management strategies on the attainment of organizational goals in selected manufacturing companies in Abuja. The study adopted a descriptive research design with two research questions raised and two research hypotheses. The study investigates conflict management strategies in nine manufacturing companies in Abuja, including 7up Bottling, Coca-Cola, Nigerian Breweries, Glasco Plastic Company, Ero Table Water, Alpha Ceramics and Aslo Glass. The research aims to establish the relationship between management strategies and organizational goal attainment. The study has limitations, such as its focus on a few selected firms and the small sample size, which may limit the generalizability of the findings. Data were generated through the use of a validated structured questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to analyze data collected from the respondents. The study used Spearman correlation analysis as a methodology tool. The results showed a significant positive relationship between conflict management strategies (collective bargaining, compromise, and accommodation) and organizational goal attainment. Non-integrative strategies (competition, domination and avoidance) had a negative effect. Collective bargaining strategy had the highest positive correlation with goal attainment. The study recommends an inclusive and collaborative conflict management strategy, involving unions in strategic decisions, to avoid conflict insurrection. Conflict is unavoidable in organizations and can affect goal attainment depending on the chosen conflict management strategies.

Abstract

The conflict between herdsmen and crop farmers in Nigeria has significantly impacted the productivity of yam farmers in the Logo Local Government Area of Benue State. The study investigated this conflict's impact on yam farmers' productivity. Data was collected from a structured questionnaire administered to 400 households affected by the conflict. The study found that the conflict negatively impacts the productivity of yam farmers in the Logo Local Government Area. The study reveals that 67.3% of yam farmers in Benue State are male, with a mean age of 35. The majority are married, have an average household size of 11 people, and have a small-scale farm size. Their low education level may contribute to unabated conflict dynamics. The study reveals that herdsmen attacks significantly reduce the productivity of yam farmers in the study area, with a higher number of respondents producing more output before the attacks and a lower number after the attacks. The logit regression model shows that Fulani attacks, attacks by Fulani herdsmen, and technology led to significant deaths in households, reducing the labour force, destroying farmers' inputs, and instilling terror. In conclusion, the study reveals that herdsmen attacks have significantly reduced the productivity of yam farmers in the study area, affecting not only the labour force but also their inputs and livelihoods, highlighting the detrimental impact of conflict-related violence. It was recommended that the government should also provide easy access to finance for farmers affected by this conflict to recover their lost farm capital.
