Little is known about how individual conflict management styles affect group functioning. This study examined the impact of conflict style asymmetry on the link between intragroup conflict and group performance in short-term project groups. Results suggest that asymmetry in forcing and problem-solving conflict management styles can moderate the negative effect of conflicts on group performance.
Relatively little is known about how the composition of individual conflict management styles affects group functioning. This is unfortunate because, specifically in short-term project groups, this conflict management style composition may be pivotal given the strong task focus rather than establishing norms to guide or manage conflict. Therefore, we examined whether conflict style asymmetry within short-term project groups affects the link between intragroup conflict and the performance of groups. Data were collected among short-term project groups and the results suggest that asymmetry in both forcing and the problem-solving conflict management styles moderates the negative effect of task, relationship, and process conflicts on the performance of groups. We offer a discussion of the implications of these findings.
