| Abstract: This paper investigated conflicts management strategies and administrative effectiveness in Nigerian universities. As a descriptive survey, the study population comprised all the 62 public universities in Nigeria. Out of these, 12 universities were selected through the simple random sampling technique. Out of the 25,421 members of staff in the universities, 3,820 members of staff were selected for the study. The instrument used to collect data for the study was the "Conflict Management Strategies and Administrative Effectiveness Questionnaire". The data collected were analysed using frequency count, percentages, mean, Correlation Matrix, Regression Analysis of Variance and Multiple Regression. It was found that conflict in Nigerian universities occurred frequently. Communication gap between the authorities and the workers was found to be the major cause of conflict in the universities. The effectiveness of the existing conflict management strategies used in Nigerian universities was at a moderate level. It was recommended that the authorities of Nigerian universities should adopt a blend of management strategies in managing conflicts in their institutions in order to enhance administrative effectiveness. |
