Introduce to the Conflict Management_1
Introduction:A conflict among the team members is the topic that has been discussed since years. This is because when two and more members work together, the conflicts develops because of many reasons such as difference in thinking process, culture, beliefs etc. It has been analysed that difference in the people and their thinking process results in difference perception regarding the task conflicts. Thus, it becomes challenging for the management to manage such a situation. Task conflicts can be perceived as a positive factor in the team but it depends on the perception of the team members. It has been analysed that it depends on the team that how they perceive and take the conflicts rises and their perception results in either positive or negative impact of task conflicts on the team performance. It is the report that discusses about various aspects of task conflicts and their positive or negative impact on team performance. It focuses on three articles which have similar base topic that is task conflicts but have different discussions. The report initiates with the discussion of the various aspects from various articles and follows with the discussion of strengths and weaknesses of the same. The later part is all about the similarities and the differences in the articles along with the conclusion that has been observed by analysing all the articles.Article 1: Skewed Task Conflicts in Teams: What Happens When a Few Members See More Conflict Than the Rest?In this article, the relationship between the skewed conflicts and the team performance has been discussed. It discusses about the positive impact on the skewed conflicts on the team performance but suggests that if there are other factors that affect the task conflicts such as relationship, emotional etc. then it may turn anther way and create negative impact on the team performance. The major strength of this research is that it provides the specific information aboutthe pattern of conflict perceptions. This study of Sinha, R., Janardhanan, N. S., Greer, L. L., Conlon, D. E., & Edwards, J. R. (2016) deals with two studies, the first study includes the investigation of the impact of positive skewed task conflicts on the performance of the team. Theinvestigation has been conducted on the teams of the MBA students in the business schools of India that are on top. The second study at the same time deals with organizational teams. In this, the investigation has been conducted on the ratings of the supervisor and the impact of positive skewed conflicts on the same. It has been argued in the research of Sinha, R., Janardhanan, N. S.,

Greer, L. L., Conlon, D. E., & Edwards, J. R. (2016) that only the task conflicts have positive impact of the team performance but if they are interfered with some other conflicts such as relationship conflicts or any other conflicts then it twisted to different direction and the positive relationship between the task conflicts and the performance deviates. Reflective communicationsis also another aspect that has been integrated with the task conflicts and studied deeply in this study. The regression analysis approach has been used to determine the results of the study but there is a weakness in the study that deals with the minority members who think that the task conflicts exist. The personality of those members also needs to be analysed to get appropriate results. Article 2: Reaping the Benefits of Task Conflict in Teams: The Critical Role of Team Psychological Safety ClimateThis article is also based on the study of task conflicts and their positive impact on the performance of the team but it focuses mainly on the conditions in which the task conflicts have positive impact on the team performance. Various contextual factors and their impact on task conflict and performance relationship has been studied by project teams. One of the factors that have been found by Bradley, B. H., Postlethwaite, B. E., Klotz, A. C., Hamdani, M. R., & Brown, K. G. (2012) that have a great impact on the task conflict and performance relation is the psychological safety. Psychological safety had been suggested as the common beliefs of the teammembers that their team is safe to take all the risk coming to them. The article argues that if the team have high psychological safety in them then they can easily handle the conflicts that have been generated in the team and thus creatively the decisions are being made that enhances the performance of the team. The variables that have been rested in the research are team performance, task conflicts and the psychological safety among the team members. The only weakness that has been identified in the research is that the sample that has been used for the research. The research studies the students who are undergraduates and which may restrict generalization of the research as undergraduate students cannot represents the whole population clearly.
