Abstract:
This study examines the relationship between corporate integrity and conflict management in the Oil rich Niger Delta of Nigeria. In this cross-sectional survey, the data generated from 156 respondents was analysed and hypotheses were tested using Regression Analysis. The results of the study show a significant relationship between corporate integrity and conflict management outcomes in the region. The relationship between the dimensions of corporate integrity, which include corporate integrity capacity and corporate integrity communication competence, and effective conflict management are conceptualized in a conflict management model, which addresses the increasing challenge of company-community face-off in the Niger Delta.
