Researchers have shown a longstanding interest in the relationship between job satisfaction and organizational commitment, this interest is driven by researches that indicate that some aspects of organizational commitment and loyalty are associated with the performance of your work and effects how satisfy you are with your job. Job satisfaction and commitment to employing organizations have received a great deal of attention from both academicians and practitioners till in the 21st century.

It was found that employee attitudes toward satisfaction and commitment are indicators to the solidarity between organizational members and management (Tonges et al., 1998). When it is about Organizational Conflict Menagment Studies collaborative conflict management culture has a positive effect on job satisfaction whereas a dominant management culture has a negative effect on job satisfaction. No statistically significant relationship was found between an avoidant conflict management culture and job satisfaction. These findings may be valuable in making decisions about provision of training in conflict management in order to promote a positive working atmosphere within an organization (Chooi Y.
2013). The question of how managers promote and maintain health and well-being in the workplace has gained popularity across disciplines. It is evident that conflicts and inappropriate conflict management in organizations can also lead to reducing health and well-being in managers.

The organizational commitment as Randal, and Riegel (1995) defined it in a three dimensions.
