Emotion regulation as a boundary condition of the relationship between team conflict and performance: A multi‐level examination
研究了情绪调节能力如何影响团队成员处理任务冲突和关系冲突，发现高情绪调节能力的个体和团队能更好利用任务冲突、减少关系冲突的负面影响。
Summary Although task conflict is widely believed to be beneficial whereas relationship conflict is destructive, evidence overall does not support this conclusion. This study develops the idea that the emotion regulation abilities of team members affect how they manage task and relationship conflict, both as individuals and as a team. Findings from a field study involving 39 teams support the argument that individuals skilled in emotion regulation can take advantage of task conflict to perform effectively and limit the negative impact of relationship conflict. Groups that have individuals highly skilled in emotion regulation were also found to make good use of team conflict. Results suggest that emotion regulation skills contribute to the effective management of task conflict and relationship conflict at both individual and group levels.
