“…However, numerous cultural differences exist and whilst both countries are economically capitalist, the unique brand of Malaysian capitalism and the neo‐liberal nature of Australian society (Joseph, ) are likely to contribute to the structure of the workforce. For example, Malaysia's collectivist culture focuses on harmonious relationships and maintaining the status quo (Abdullah & Lim, ) and workplaces in collectivist cultures can benefit from this by instilling a better sense of belonging, trust and concern for other employees and a predisposition to compromise (Rose, Suppiah, Uli, & Othman, ). In Malaysia, individual weaknesses are unlikely to be addressed because the team is responsible for outcomes instead, which also “saves face” for an individual and maintains the group harmony (Abdullah & Lim, ).…”

The aim of this paper is to show some findings on the leader negotiating styles among institutional managers in Malaysia. The managers selected were from Malaysia's Teacher Education Institutes (TEIs). TEIs are under the jurisdiction of Malaysia's Ministry of Education. Some years ago, these institutes were called teacher colleges (TCs), and trained teachers were conferred certificates and diplomas in education. Generally these teachers were placed in primary schools and lower secondary schools. Graduate teachers from universities would be placed in upper secondary schools. In 2005, the Malaysian government changed the basis of teaching training. They wanted all teachers for primary and secondary schools to be graduated. Then, TEIs are regarded as learning organizations. Under the TEI scheme, potential school teachers were awarded undergraduate degrees in education. They then can be placed either in primary or secondary schools just as their counterparts from public universities. The leaders in TEIs were expected to negotiate a lot in dealing with their student teachers, other managers within TEIs, other managers from Malaysia's Ministry of Education and other stakeholders. Qualitative interviews were conducted among 32 managers in TEI head office and the managers in its campuses around Malaysia. It was found that the dominant negotiating style among the respondents was the accommodating style.

“…In discussing about conflict in marriage, Buehler et al (1998) defines marital conflict as the existence of high levels of disagreement, stressful and hostile interactions between spouses, disrespect, and verbal abuse. Then, Rose et al (2007) concluded that the common theme dominant in all definitions about conflict are the aspects of differing needs, goals or interests and the perceived or real interference from one party unto the other party to achieve these needs, goals or interests.…”

The purpose of this study is to explore the strategies and tactics used in conflict management and analyze their effectiveness based on quantitative methodology. Probability sampling of 300 respondents in Selangor, Malaysia consisting of Malay married couples were selected using cluster sampling. The findings showed that the strategies were competing, collaborating, compromising, avoiding and accommodating. In average, around 80 percent of Malay married couples chose collaborating strategy whereas competing was less popular. However, the most popular tactic among the respondents is trying to do what is necessary to avoid tension which is under the avoiding strategy. Two-way communication and compromise were seen to be the essence in keeping longevity and success in marriage. The study revealed that there was a change in conflict management among Malay married couples which can be related to the economic development of society, technological advances, political scenarios and the influx of foreign culture. Nonetheless, along with the changes in Malaysia's economic system, modern Malay couples are more open-minded. Therefore, couples in this study tend to see conflicts as problems that need to be solved, wanting quality decisions that truly resolve the issues. They believe in the power of consensus and in sharing of information and achieving understanding with one another.
