The current research was conducted with the aim of designing a model of intergenerational conflict management among shipping employees in the south of Iran. This research is applied in terms of purpose and exploratory in nature, which has been analyzed with a mixed (qualitative-quantitative) approach. In the first stage, qualitative method and in-depth interviews were used to identify the components of the model. In the qualitative part, there are 15 university experts who were selected in a targeted way. In order to analyze the data of the qualitative part, the foundation data analysis method was used using MaxQuda software. In order to fit the model designed in the qualitative part, a quantitative method with structural equation modeling approach was used. The participants in this section included 203 managers, experts and employees who were selected by stratified random method. The data collection tool in the quantitative part was a questionnaire based on the findings of the qualitative part, whose validity and reliability were confirmed. Quantitative data analysis was done by pls4 software. The results of the qualitative part showed that 6 main categories, 13 subcategories and 45 open codes were identified. In the quantitative section, it was found that there is a meaningful relationship between the management of intergenerational conflicts and factors, and the designed model has an acceptable fit. It can be concluded that managers can prevent conflict from turning into tension and conflict by using conflict management skills and benefit from its positive results.
