画地为牢:领地行为是否抑制创造力?

领地行为在组织内广泛存在,个体标记和防卫自己的领地,这种划定与保卫所属区域或者显示所属关系的行为是否会抑制员工创造力的发挥?本文通过构建领地行为、 创造力以及集体主义的理论模型,收集员工层面数据,运用多元回归方法实证检验领地行为与创造力的关系以及集体主义的调节作用.研究结果表明,领地行为没有抑制创造力,而是起到促进作用,即身份导向标记与创造力显著正相关;反应性防卫与创造力显著正相关;相比较而言,集体主义倾向高的个体,反应性防卫行为对创造力的影响更强.     

高管团队价值观、团队氛围对冲突的影响

文章实证分析了高管团队成员的社会价值观和团队氛围对冲突的影响。结果表明,高管团队的绩效观和集体主义观与任务冲突有正向联系,集体主义观异质性和绩效观异质性抑制任务冲突,利己权力观异质性引起任务冲突。研究发现高管团队开放性和信任构成的团队氛围与任务冲突有正向联系,总经理的集体主义导向与任务冲突正相关。研究没有发现价值观与关系冲突联系的直接证据,关系冲突更可能与情绪因素相联系。

渠道冲突对渠道绩效的影响——以生鲜农产品市场调查为例

与一般渠道冲突研究立足于一般消费品市场不同,本文立足农产品营销领域,借助农产品市场经营组织调查数据,对渠道成员问冲突行为及其结果进行分析.研究结果表明,在农产品营销领域,渠道冲突的频繁和激烈程度与渠道绩效存在显著相关关系,频繁发生的高强度的渠道冲突会对农产品流通效率与渠道成员关系质量产生消极影响;垂直渠道冲突和水平渠道冲突对渠道绩效的影响不同,前者会降低渠道绩效,而后者有助于提升整个渠道体系的效率水平;渠道冲突程度与诱发冲突的原因有密切关系,越是基于利益和目标的冲突,冲突程度越激烈,破坏性越强;不同渠道成员面对同一冲突事件所作出的反应不同,其中冲突观是决定性因素,培育更高层次、更为专业的营销主体对于降低渠道冲突发生概率具有积极意义;渠道协同(合作行为或意愿)对于避免和化解渠道冲突具有积极意义.文章指出,鉴于渠道协同在降低渠道冲突进而提高渠道绩效方面的重要作用,为降低冲突发生的可能性,提高渠道绩效,应在渠道系统内进行联合或一体化.     

团队任务冲突与关系冲突转化机制——团队氛围的调节作用

团队中不同类型冲突之间作用机制的关系,日益成为组织管理领域的重要问题.本文引入团队氛围作为调节变量,对团队任务冲突对关系冲突影响的边界条件进行了探索.实证研究结果表明,团队氛围能对任务冲突与关系冲突的正相关关系产生负向调节作用,从而减弱任务冲突对关系冲突的负向影响.通过促进和谐的团队氛围,能够使团队在任务冲突存在的前提下形成有效的团队合作.团队经理应尽量避免任务冲突向关系冲突转化,促使团队中的任务冲突发挥促进信息交流和团队学习的作用,从而促进团队绩效的提升.     

众包社区创意领地行为影响机制研究

在共享经济对社会资源重新分配的背景下,现有研究较多从技术嵌入、平台监管、社会网络等客观方面揭示众包社区创意领地行为的产生机制,文章则聚焦创意资源供给者的主观方面因素,探究社会价值取向、内群体认同对创意领地行为的影响以及网络面子意识在以上关系中的调节作用。研究结果表明：（1）众包社区成员的社会价值取向对其创意领地行为具有重要影响,其中亲自我创客比亲社会创客更可能实施创意领地行为;（2）社会价值取向通过内群体认同对创意领地行为产生影响;（3）网络面子意识不仅调节社会价值取向与内群体认同的直接关系,而且进一步调节社会价值取向通过内群体认同与创意领地行为的间接关系;（4）与网络面子意识较低的亲自我者相比,网络面子意识较高的亲自我者实施创意领地行为的倾向得到了显著改善,甚至转而进行创意分享和贡献,而网络面子意识对亲社会者的创意领地行为的影响效果却并不显著。     

面子作用于知识型员工任务冲突选择的内在机理——基于期望理论的实证研究

个体的冲突处理行为并非只是针对环境威胁的被动响应,它更是一种主动选择,面子在其中发挥的作用实质上可归结为一种行为激励。文章以知识型员工为研究对象,基于期望理论,针对面子作用于知识型员工的任务冲突处理选择的内在机理进行了实证研究,分别揭示了面子的效价、与面子相关的结果期望各自的直接作用及面子期望的中介作用。     

组织新聘员工与原有员工冲突动因及其消减的实证研究

冲突作为一种社会现象,在组织内外随处可见。随着我国劳动力人才市场化配置的日趋完善,组织的人员流动也日趋频繁,组织新聘员工与原有员工冲突已成为一种普遍现象,然而针对该现象的研究却是凤毛麟角。本文以实证研究的方法分析了导致此类冲突的动因及其有效的消减方式。研究结果表明：性格差异等七项因素是导致此类冲突的动因;针对不同动因引发的冲突,有着不同的有效消减方式。     

全面冲突管理视角下的员工关系管理

冲突管理是员工关系管理中非常重要的工作,组织能否趋利避害地驾驭冲突,关系着组织的生存和发展。传统冲突管理侧重于冲突的事后管理,全面冲突管理强调对冲突进行全过程、全系统和全要素的管理。本文试图从全面冲突管理视角下,分析员工关系管理中冲突的范围及产生的原因,并最终构建全面冲突管理模型,为组织趋利避害地驾驭冲突,建立和谐员工关系提供对策和建议。     

企业组织内的冲突管理探讨

冲突是企业组织中客观存在的普遍现象,冲突对企业组织的作用是建设性的还是破坏性的和企业冲突管理水平密切相关。文章对影响冲突与组织绩效之间关系的因素进行了深入分析,认为当冲突的总体水平过高或过低,或者冲突结构表现为冲突中关系冲突或过程冲突水平过高、任务冲突水平过低或过高时,冲突都将是破坏性的,所以企业组织应采取具体的技术和方法降低或提高冲突的总体水平,或者应用合作策略改善冲突结构,最终化破坏性冲突为建设性冲突。     

Guanxi,Communication, Power,and Conflict in Industrial Buyer-Seller Relationships: Mitigations Against the Cultural Background of Harmony in China

Purpose: This research aims to investigate how guanxi influences conflict occurrence and conflict-related behavior in transactions of equipment with state-owned enterprises (SOEs) against the cultural background of harmony in China. The influence of guanxi on conflict-avoidance behaviors is discussed, and a model is proposed depicting the relationship between guanxi, the selection of communication modality, the exercise of power, and manifest conflict.

Methodology/Approach: Data was collected from persons selling equipment in the oil industry. The partial least squares method is applied to analyze the collected data.

Findings: Guanxi at the individual level positively influences the use of informal communication and the exercise of non-coercive power and negatively influences the use of formal communication and the exercise of coercive power at the organizational level. The use of informal communication is inversely related to the intensity of conflict, whereas the use of formal communication and the exercise of coercive power are positively related to the intensity of conflict. The combination of these effects is that the guanxi between representatives of business partners is negatively related to manifest conflict at the organizational level.

Contribution: This empirical research is among the earliest studies attempting to examine how guanxi influences interorganizational conflict occurrence and conflict-related behavior in industrial buyer-seller relationships in China, and it reveals a significant relationship between guanxi and the selection of communication modality, the exercise of power, and the occurrence of conflict in a guanxi-intensive market in China.

Practical Implications: First, our findings will help members of the seller's management team, especially foreign members, to better understand the behavior of their Chinese employees. Secondly, our findings should help sellers improve the effectiveness of their conflict management to increase good word-of-mouth and maximize reorders. Thirdly, our findings should help the purchasing managers of SOEs to better understand how to manage conflict to lower the project risk. Lastly, firms doing business with SOEs should take both cultural and political factors into account in their business activities.     

团队内冲突对团队决策质量和满意度影响的实证研究

Conflict is a pivotal variable influencing team decision performance. This article reviewed literature on intragroup conflict and studied how different types of conflicts affect perceived team decision quality and satisfaction. We conducted a survey on 156 managers and found that the task-relationship conflict dimensions are also valid in the Chinese context. We also found that both task conflict and relationship conflict are negatively related to team members’ decision satisfaction. Relationship conflict acts as a mediator between task conflict and decision satisfaction. __________ Translated from Guanli pinglun 管理评论 (Management Review), 2007, 19(7): 10–15     

Cracks in Diversity Research: The Effects of Diversity Faultlines on Conflict and Performance

In this quasi-field study, we investigate the effects of diversity faultlines on the conflict experience, performance, and morale of 79 groups. This is one of the first studies to operationalize the construct of diversity-related faultlines (Lau and Murnighan 1998). One of the most important contributions of this research is that faultlines incorporate multiple characteristics of group members simultaneously rather than assessing just one demographic characteristic at a time as most past diversity research has done. We develop a measure to capture the complexity of the faultline construct and to examine the effects of various group diversity faultline profiles on group outcomes. Linear results with a limited range of data show that faultlines are negatively related to conflict and positively related to morale and performance. Supplemental analyses that take into account the unique characteristics of our dataset indicate curvilinear relationships between diversity faultlines and relationship conflict, process conflict, group morale, and group performance. Groups with either virtually no faultlines (very diverse members) or strong faultlines (split into 2 fairly homogeneous subgroups) had higher levels of conflict and lower levels of morale and performance than groups with medium faultlines. The results suggest a more complex relationship between diversity and group process and outcome variables than typically described in diversity research. A detailed discussion of the faultline measure we developed and the methodological issues associated with measuring and interpreting faultlines are reported.

Unpacking the relationship between an innovation strategy and firm performance: The role of task conflict and political activity

This article adds to extant literature by examining the contingent effect of two cross-functional processes on the relationship between the use of an innovation strategy and firm performance, namely, task conflict and political activity. The authors examine the effects of these processes with a sample of 260 firms. The positive relationship between the use of an innovation strategy and firm performance is stronger for higher levels of cross-functional task conflict and lower levels of cross-functional political activity. Furthermore, the authors find support for a configurational hypothesis: the innovation strategy-firm performance relationship is strongest for the high task conflict/low political activity configuration and weakest for the low task conflict/high political activity configuration. The results unveil two important cross-functional mechanisms influencing the extent to which the benefits of an innovation strategy can be reaped.     

The role of trust in buyer-seller conflict management

The present study merges work in the interpersonal relationship and buyer-seller literature to address how trust interacts with attributions to impact the effect of partner communication on conflict resolution perceptions in buyer-seller relationships. Understanding the processes underlying conflict resolution is important given that conflict is inherent in relational exchange and that conflict resolution is related to investments, satisfaction, and commitment. Results of the present research suggest that partner use of editing in communication (the ability to self-censor overreaction to negative behavior) influences conflict resolution efficacy of response through the process of responsibility attribution. Further, the combined influence of attribution of partner blame and trust is important in understanding conflict resolution efficacy of response.
