This research study aims to shed light on how the Filipino graphic artists in virtual teams manage conflicts with their American managers. Specifically, this is a qualitative descriptive research that dwells on the discovery of the perceived conflicts, analysis of the conflict management styles and interpretation of the Filipino identity reflected by the Filipino graphic artists with American managers in virtual teams. The analysis and interpretation with regards to the study of conflict resolutions is based on Ting-Toomey's Face Negotiation Theory. The research focused on an in-depth interview with eight professional Filipino graphic artists for print & web that has at least six months of work experience under an American manager in an online setting. Through notable narratives, time-based, instruction-based and production-based conflicts were revealed to be the perceived conflicts of Filipino graphic artists in virtual teams. Adapting and illustrating were the two unique, emerging conflict management styles unravelled in the study while the dominant ones are integrating, negotiating and avoiding. Filipino graphic artists in virtual teams display a core identity that is collectivistic in nature with their high value for pakikisama and pakikiramdam. However, Filipino graphic artists in virtual teams tend to manage conflicts with communication styles that are individualistic in nature since these styles tend to be more effective when confronted by conflict situations with their American managers.
