Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The compromising conflict handling style is the most appropriate in situations where both parties cannot fully achieve their goals or attain a win-win outcome. This style involves each party making some concessions in order to reach a partial agreement that is mutually acceptable. It is appropriate when there are conflicting goals or opposing interests, but an agreement is still needed to move forward. The accommodating style may not be appropriate if one party stands to be worse off or if a win-win outcome is still possible. The collaborating style is focused on finding a mutually beneficial solution and may not be necessary or feasible in this situation. The avoiding style involves ignoring or postponing the conflict, and is generally not helpful in resolving conflicts.
