The many roles and responsibilities make workingwives vulnerable to various kinds of conflicts. If the conflict experienced is not handled properly,it will have the potential to damage the existing relationship. So it becomes important for a workingwife to be able to manage her conflict well. There are five conflict management styles developedby Thomas & Kilmann (2008) based on the dimensions of assertiveness and cooperativeness,namely; Competing, Collaborating, Compromising, Avoiding, and Accomodating. This study useda quantitative method, with 128 participants with the characteristics of a wife, full-time officeworker, age range within 20-40 years old (M= 30.8; SD= 4.88), have children and live in Jakartacity, Bogor city, Depok city, Tangerang city, and Bekasi city (Jabodetabek).
