    Understanding parenting style and its impact on the self-esteem of children has a paramount importance for the well being of children and their development. This study was conducted to look at the impact of parenting style on children‟s self-esteem in American Mission School. In addition, this study also sought to examine the relationship parenting style has with family characteristics and some demographic factors (age and grade). A total of 189 students from 4 grades were selected (7, 8, 9 & 11) randomly. Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ) and Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (RSE) were used to measure parenting style and self-esteem respectively. Univariate and bivariate anyalysis were used to analyze the collected data. Findings showed that there was no significant correlation between parenting styles and self-esteem except fathers who practice authoritarian parenting styles. It was also found that there was significant relationship between age (one of the demographic factor) and self-esteem, while the other demographic factor grade didn‟t have a significant relationship with self-esteem. In the contrary, family characteristics (living arrangement, parent‟s level of education and income of the family) were found to have no significant relationship with self-esteem. Conclusion was made and the major finding was discussed in relation to other research findings. Finally the implication for social work education, research and practice was discussed

    It is almost given that conflict is inevitable in the relation between individuals and groups. Workplaces are not exceptions in this regard. Yet, the occurrence of conflict by itself is no more considered a problem as far as it is managed effectively. In line with this, this study explored the practices of conflict management styles at Arts Media Production. In doing so, attempt has been made to examine the different sorts of interpersonal and interdepartmental conflicts that frequently happen in the operation process of the project and how they are managed. As a result, the findings of the study revealed that the major interpersonal and interdepartmental conflicts that occur in the project are the ones that are structural and socio-cognitive driven conflicts. It was further found out that the project managers tend to apply mainly accommodating and avoiding conflict management styles. However, avoiding have turned out to make employees dissatisfied which resulted in a high staff turnover. This in turn affected the overall performance of the project negatively. Therefore, in order to increase the commitment of the staff, the management should consider of applying a better conflict management style.
