This paper tried to trace the historical transitions in Korean lndustrial Relations in tenns of the conf1ict vîew and conf1ict management sLyles. The wriler classified transitions in induslrial relations into (1) strife stage (~) compromise stage, (3) cooperation stage based on the previous research published. Results of the paper show that management view on conflicL betwecn labor and management was negative under strife stage. As the resu1L of it, dominating style in managing conflict was used. :.Jext, in compromise stage, conflict view was forcibly transferred into positive side by unexpected 6 . 29 events. At the result, in conflict management style, smoothing or compromrsing was used. ln final stage cooperation one-managemenL and labor both placed their eyes of conflicl on positive one. However, conflict management style is ,though immature, in the process of beîng changed compromlsmg into win-win, that IS, problem solving style. Viewed from the fact that ,ve lìve in an age of unlimited competition throughout the world, malured or creative relationships between labor and management in industrial settings are one of the most sincere and urgent problems to solve for the coming. It is hoped that the attempt in thîs direclion will further stimulate search for the improvemenL of those ctitical points suggested in this study
