This study aims to increase knowledge about how culture and gender variables affect conflict resolution processes. The research methodology employed in this thesis is qualitative, focusing solely on interviews with employees. This qualitative approach focuses on employee perspectives on conflict, cultural norms, and gender-related events. Through these interviews, the study explores employees' opinions, conflict-resolution strategies, and personal experiences. This study intends to investigate whether and how values, norms, and communication styles affect conflict resolution strategies through the analysis of the data gathered. The research will explain how culture, gender, and conflict resolution are related, giving knowledge to firms willing to implement more effective conflict management. The findings of the study will enhance the knowledge that already exists on conflict resolution.
