Task Re-allocation in New Venture Teams: A Team Conflict Perspective
研究了新创企业在发展过程中如何应对任务重新分配，指出任务重新分配冲突的重要性，并揭示负面情绪预期如何影响冲突的展开，以及为何冲突及其负面情绪有助于实现实质性而非象征性的任务调整。
This study contributes a novel perspective on how new venture teams navigate task re-allocation during the new venture development phase. It highlights the relevance of task re-allocation conflict, shows how “negative affect expectations” shape the unfolding of such conflicts, and demonstrates why acting out conflict and its associated negative affect can enable team members to make substantial task re-allocations instead of symbolic ones. The analysis has implications for two bodies of research, which have previously not been considered in tandem: (1) research on task (re-)allocation, professionalization, and structural imprinting in new ventures, and (2) research on team conflict.
