ABSTRACT

Reexamining Intra Team Conflict: A Dyadic Perspective

Conflict is seen as an emergent process when looking at the construct of the team as a whole. Researchers have investigated the interpersonal dynamics that contribute to intrateam conflict. According to researchers, intrateam conflict may be the result of conflict that arises from interactions between members of the team on a dyadic level. The dyadic perspective works under the assumption that conflicts can arise between individual members of a team. Researchers have focused on the perspective of the team rather than the dyadic perspective. In fact, many previous studies have concentrated on conflict and the causes of conflict within the team. However, more recently, there have been studies that lend support to the idea that dyadic conflict is one of the primary sources of conflict within teams. There is a possibility that various members of the same team will experience varying degrees of conflict with the other members of the team. It is possible that members of the team will perceive an increase in the amount of conflict between one another. This research contributed to the perception of generalized and dyadic reciprocity among the members of the team. The Social Relations Model (SRM) round robin design will be utilized in the execution of this study, which will take place in a real-world environment. This study will address the dyadic relationship between team members by using this design. It will rate the team members individually as well as the team as a whole, and it will report on each individual team member. In addition, the survey will include information on demographics, questions to assess dyadic task and relationship conflict, as well as questions regarding Jehn and Mannix's research on team level conflict. The results will be analyzed using the TripleR package in R statistical analysis software.
