成员个性多样化与团队学习:团队内冲突的中介作用

Member Diversity and Team Learning: Intragroup Conflict as a Medium Variable

为探索个性多样化对团队学习的影响,引入团队内任务冲突和关系冲突,解析个性多样化对团队学习的多重作用机制。基于79个工作团队336名企业员工的样本数据,进行实证分析。研究结果表明,个性多样化通过关系冲突对团队学习起显著消极作用,而通过任务冲突对团队学习不起显著积极作用。

The impact of personality diversity on team learning is thus explored with an introduction of task and relation- ship conflict, both of which are supposed to act as mechanism between personality diversity and team learning. Drawing on empirical analysis conducted at 336 employees in 79 work teams, the results confirm that personality diversity influences team learning negatively through relationship conflict. Contrary to the hypothesis, task conflict doesn＇ t play a mediating role in that relationship.
