M. Afzalur Rahim and Nace R. Magner
Western Kentucky University

Confirmatory factor analysis of data (from 5 samples, n = 484 full-time employed management
students; « = 550 public administrators;« = 214 university administrators; n =
250 bank managers and employees in Bangladesh; and n = 578 managers and employees)
on the 28 items of the Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory—II were performed with
LISREL 7. The results provided support for the convergent and discriminant validities of
the subscales measuring the 5 styles of handling interpersonal conflict (integrating, obliging,
dominating, avoiding, and compromising) and general support for the in variance of
the 5-factor model across referent roles (i.e., superiors, subordinates, and peers), organizational
levels (top, middle, lower, and nonmanagement), and 4 of the 5 samples.
