Child care professionals play a vital role in supporting the holistic development and well-being of children, often working in emotionally demanding environments. The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between conflict resolution styles and compassion fatigue among child care professionals, along with differences based on working hours. A sample of 200 child care professionals was selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a sociodemographic data sheet, the Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory-II (ROCI–II), and the Professional Quality of Life Scale version 5. Statistical analysis was carried out using Jamovi, employing descriptive statistics, spearman’s correlation, and Mann-Whitney U test. The findings revealed that the collaborating conflict resolution style was positively associated with compassion satisfaction and negatively associated with burnout and secondary traumatic stress. Competing and avoiding styles were linked with higher compassion fatigue, while accommodating and compromising styles showed mixed effects. Significant differences were also found based on working hours, with longer working hours associated with lower compassion satisfaction and higher burnout and secondary traumatic stress.
