Healthcare organizations are social systems in which human resources are the most important factor. It is helpful for healthcare professionals to be able to identify leadership styles and theories relevant to their nursing practice. Conflicts are an inherent part of work within any organization and can be defined as a situation in which conflicting individuals who support different solutions participate. There are five ways to resolve conflict: dominance, compromise, cooperation, avoidance, and accommodation. The aim of this research is to see what is the most common style of conflict management in the workplace of nurses/technicians, to see if there is a correlation between years of work experience and the choice of strategy in conflict management, and to find out what is the most common leadership style in the workplace of nurses and technicians and whether they influence years of work experience on the choice of leadership style. The conducted research consisted of three parts: socio-demographic indicators, leadership styles and the Thomas-Klimann questionnaire on conflict management styles. 322 nurses/technicians from the Republic of Croatia participated in the research. The survey was conducted in the form of Google Forms in the period from April 1, 2022 to July 10, 2022. The data were processed in the Python 3.9 library program, with descriptive statistics and inferential statistics (Chi square test on one sample). The results showed that the most common conflict management style is compromise, while the democratic style is the most frequently used leadership style. Years of work experience do not significantly affect the choice of leadership style as well as conflict management style. Research on leadership style and conflict management style is presented in the paper with the intention to see the most common style of use in order to further improve workplace relations, increased job satisfaction and increased retention of nurses, which would result in a positive outcome for the nursing profession, health organizations and society in general. Effective conflict management requires many professional qualities and skills, and changing an organization to be conflict-positive requires constant, persistent action. In order to become effective and manage conflict appropriately, head nurses and technicians must understand the causes, theories, approaches and strategies of conflict management. Understanding conflict management styles and the factors that influence them can increase positive conflict outcomes for nurses and technician
