dc.description.abstractIt has been submitted over time that conflict is inevitable in any organization mainly because of individual differences, varied interests and the push for service of self. For an individual interestingly, there are at least, three types of intrapersonal conflict, how much more would it be for many people within a social space? Problems continue to emanate in the world of work as workers have different experiences and the system in which their work may not adequately take care of their individual needs. Different strategies have been adopted by experts in human resources management in handling conflicts. However, conflict transformation strategy seems not to have been adequately adopted, and this leaves a gap in literature. This evidenced-based approach stands out as it employs conflict analysis, involving actors in the driving seat of social change, adopting principle of inclusion in peace building,using holistic human rights approach, considering moral dilemmas, and overcoming gender-specific power relations and violence. This paper highlights and discusses the roles of counselling psychologists in ensuring the use of conflict transformation strategy in organisations in Nigeria. Recommendations are made among which is comprehensive conflict analysis and inclusive approach in effectively dealing with conflicts in the workplace.
