Abstract
The article attempts at figuring out whether creativity is a component of conflict competence, and the way creativity is related to its other components. It is suggested that creativity is a system-forming factor of cognitive, motivational, and regulatory components of conflict competence ensuring the transition from adaptive strategies of heads of educational institutions to constructive ones. It has been substantiated that creativity is an integral component of conflict competence of a head, and its manifestation depends on his or her experience of managerial activity and educational institution’s organizational and legal form. Head’s creativity being a dynamic entity depends on the balance of the experience gained and ability to embrace new experience. A high level of creativity contributes to more effective integration of conflict competence components.
