Relationship between Conflict and Job Performance

The study which employs a casualcomparative method evaluated the relationship between conflict and job performance of all fulltime, permanent staff (managerial and administrative) employed in Islamshahr Azad University in 2007. The distributed questionnaires were the annual job performance evaluation form drawn up by the ministry of power and Dobrin’s job conflict questionnaire which was designed and prepared in 1985. Findings do not support any relationships between the staff’s conflict and job performance. The same result was obtained with regard to females’ and males’ conflict and job performance. What’s more, there’s no negative correlation between the staff’s perceived conflict and their job performance.
