Leadership style of a manager may have an impact on the decision on which conflict management method to choose. The major objective of this research was to verify an abbreviated version of the leadership and conflict management questionnaire using a sample from a university. For the purpose of assessing leadership and conflict, a great number of questionnaires have been devised. As a result, it is necessary to evaluate the reliability and construct validity of the shortened version of the leadership questionnaire using a data sample from a university. Our research presented a comprehensive pilot study of questionnaires as trustworthy and valid tools, which may be suited for use in academic research and organizational practise to evaluate leadership styles.
