Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The managers used compromise to resolve the conflict by arriving at a mutually acceptable solution. They agreed to equally share the top-performing employees, which is a give-and-take approach. Domination and coercion involve one party imposing its will on the other party, which did not occur in this scenario. Mediation involves a neutral third party facilitating the discussion and finding a solution, which also did not occur in this scenario.
