This paper sets out to investigate the research gaps related to the relationships and effects among Organizational conflicts, Conflict management strategies, Personality traits, socioeconomic characters and Performance in managerial roles, under special reference to the university academic and non-academic administrators. Performance in managerial roles of university administrators (both academic and administrative officers) is most important factor for the efficient and effective management of the universities. In case of other organizations, performance in managerial roles also greatly effects to the product and services of them. As defined by Schramm-Nielson (2002), conflict is a state of serious disagreement and argument about something perceived to be important by at least one parties involved. Conflict management can be identified as the use of resolution and stimulation techniques to achieve the desired level of conflicts (Robbins, 2003). As explained by Henry Mintzberg in 1960s, managers in organizations perform managerial roles, which are categorized into three main groups as interpersonal roles, informational roles and decisional roles. Personality traits reflect people’s characteristic patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Different aspects of conflict management styles include competing, collaborating, avoiding, accommodating and compromising. Desk research was conducted by the preliminary literature survey to investigate the relationships/effects among the above said variables. Accordingly the researcher has identified seven research gaps associated with those variables. The specific research gaps identified among the selected variables are contextual gap, evidence gap, empherical gap, population gap, knowledge and the theoretical gap. Those research gaps are associated with the relationships / effects among the variables of organizational conflicts, conflict management strategies, personality traits, socioeconomic characters and performance in managerial roles. Based on the research gaps the conceptual frame work was developed for the future investigations in the same filed.
