Effect of Intragroup Conflict on Perceived Group Performance with Mediation Role of Functional Diversity
Abstract
The goal of this study is to survey how intragroup conflict affects how well a group performs, with the functional variety of middle- and top-level personnel in a company serving as a mediator. The population of Oil and Gas Development Corporation Limited Pakistan was determined to be the medium and senior level personnel. The 160 middle and senior level employees were chosen as a convenience sample. The outcomes of the mediational variable demonstrated that in situations when there is task conflict, relational conflict, or observed team performance, there is no functional variation mediation. Thus, it was determined that both the similarity attraction theory and the self-categorization theory provided strong support. The study reinforced the idea that while companies may prevent conflicts in a bad way, disagreements should still be taken into account and directed for greater team effectiveness.
