How task and person conflict shape the role of positive interdependence in management teams
提出一个模型，解释任务冲突和人际冲突如何改变积极目标相互依赖与管理团队决策有效性之间的关系，基于102名管理团队成员调查发现，积极相互依赖仅在人际冲突干扰任务冲突时促进有效决策。
A literature-based model defining how task and person conflict modify the relationship between positive goal interdependence and decision-making effectiveness in management teams is presented. The model assumes that positive interdependence fosters effective decision making behaviors only if person conflict interferes with task conflict, but not in cases of one-sided task conflict one-sided person conflict, or no conflict. Survey results obtained from 102 members of management reams illustrate this complex interactive effect of positive interdependence and type of conflict. The proposed refinement of the classic interdependence paradigm may advance recent theory and research on the role of type of conflict in team decision making.
