Description

Today, getting the job done is thought to be the goal of every leader, as does conflict management. Entrepreneurial leaders inspire and direct team members to accomplish organisational goals through opportunity exploration and exploitation, resulting in conflict arousal, considered a natural and inevitable outcome. Emotional intelligence can help leaders handle conflict; its regulation lets them express rationally to influence their emotions. Social learning theory is used as a theoretical framework to investigate entrepreneurial leader's impact on interpersonal conflict. Employing a quantitative research approach, data from 243 valid responses through a structured adapted questionnaire were used to test latent hypotheses through structural equation modelling techniques. Among five conflict-handling styles, results have supported the mediating role of integrating style further moderated by entrepreneurial leaders' emotion regulation practices. The study offers both practical and theoretical implications; leaders should be trained to regulate emotions and congruence in selecting an appropriate conflict-handling style, as conflict awareness before its arousal is a requisite skill of any leader.
