This paper explores the critical role of ethics in moderating conflict resolution processes within organizations. Conflicts are inevitable in any workplace, and their resolution often hinges on the ethical frameworks employed by individuals and teams. By analyzing various case studies, the research highlights how ethical principles, such as fairness, transparency, and accountability, influence negotiation strategies and outcomes. The findings suggest that a strong ethical foundation can lead to more effective conflict resolution, fostering a culture of trust and collaboration. This study also emphasizes the importance of training and institutional policies that promote ethical behavior, ultimately contributing to improved organizational health and employee satisfaction.
