Leading multicultural teams, in temporary projects, can be challenging since multicultural teams are relatively more prone to conflicts owing to the diversities that stem from contrasting cultures. The specific problem is many project managers managing a multicultural workforce in temporal projects lack effective conflict management skills, which impedes the projects' success by fostering an unconducive working environment. The purpose of this study was to identify the best conflict management practices for managers managing multicultural teams in temporal project settings, specifically in the construction industry in the Midwestern US. The study was underpinned by a few theories including Rahim's organization conflict inventory, Blake and Mouton's Five Conflict Management Styles, Cognitive Elements of Conflict Management, and Kilmann and Thomas's theory. The study sought to address the question about the best conflict management practices for managers working in the defined condition. This qualitative grounded theory research utilized a sample size of 10 participants, consisting of both managers and subordinates, with the requirement that they had more than two years of experience in the industry. The data were collected using interviews guided by a semi-structured questionnaire and analyzed using NVivo 10 software. The study results emphasized the importance of managers being flexible in their conflict management approaches, possessing cultural intelligence, effective communication, and embracing adaptive leadership. This research's findings could potentially influence positive social change by leading to the enhancement of the working environment in temporal projects characterized by a multicultural workforce, hence boosting productivity.
