Abstract
The present study investigated the relationship between sanctimoniousness, work volition,
mobbing, ostracism and conflict management among university teachers. It was hypothesized that
there is likely to be a relationship between sanctimonious, work volition, mobbing, ostracism and
conflict management in university teachers. Correlation research design has been used in this
research. The sample comprised of N=300 (males=144, female=156) with the age range of 25-60
(M= 35.61; SD =7.28). Three assessment measures were used to assess the study variables
including self-righteousness scale, work volition scale, Luxembourg workplace mobbing scale,
workplace ostracism scale and conflict management styles scale. The correlation analysis revealed
that sanctimoniousness significantly negatively correlate with ostracism and significantly
positively correlate with three dimensions of conflict management collaborating, compromising
and obliging. Work volition significantly positively correlate with five dimensions of conflict
management collaborating, compromising, avoiding, competing and dominating and significantly
negatively correlate with ostracism. Ostracism significantly negatively correlate with four
dimensions of conflict management collaborating, compromising, obliging and competing there
was a predicting role of work volition, and ostracism on conflict management dimension
collaborating, competing, compromising, avoiding, obliging and dominating. Work volition and
its sub scale mediate the ostracism, gender and conflict management. Moreover, significant gender
differences were found in work volition and conflict management. The study can be beneficial for
organizations to promote citizenship behavior among employees.
