Therefore, understanding the definition of conflict and its management strategies is crucial for both academics and practitioners.

The method used is a literature review, with data collected through Google Scholar and the Publish or Perish application using the keyword “definition of conflict.” From a total of 20 identified articles, 18 were selected through a screening process based on recency, open access, and topic relevance. The findings indicate that the definition of conflict is contextual and multidimensional, while the management strategies generally include communication, negotiation, and institutional policy.
