Previous studies have found a negative association between intragroup conflict and both employees' health and performance, including the quality of service that employees provide. Organ. 25, 148170. Passive responses to interpersonal conflict at work amplify employee strain. This is a particularly encouraging result given the fact that PsyCap can be trained (e.g., Luthans et al., 2010; Dello Russo and Stoykova, 2015), and has therefore the potential to further overcome limitations associated to other potential interventions focusing on cognitive resources such as self-regulation mechanisms, which are considered a limited resource and a weak predictor of performance (for a meta-analysis see Sitzmann and Yeo, 2013). 2010 Jan;83(1):29-38. doi: 10.1007/s00420-009-0485-7.

Then, considering the pivotal role of teams in nowadays organizations, we turn to a group level of analysis and emphasize how positive group dynamics, such as the capacity of the team to openly discuss disagreements and constructively manage conflict, can both prevent negative environments and foster positive social interactions in order to enhance employees' well-being and performance.

We consider: (1) the type of conflicts that exist; (2) the organizational outcome that is predicted or desired; (3) the temporal aspect of group life and conflict; and (4) the circumstances under which conflict occurs and the processes used to manage it that moderate the conflict-outcome relationship. Positive organizational behavior: engaged employees in flourishing organizations. Int. This is in line with previous findings on conflict literature about the negative effects of relationship conflicts within the workplace. On the other hand, as expected, results highlight that although relationship and process conflict can be detrimental to the quality of service that teams provide (de Wit et al., 2012), conflict management climate buffers the negative impact of both relationship and process conflict on such quality of service. Following the idea that PHO are organizations that both prevent or successfully manage negative environments and group dynamics and foster positive social interactions in order to enhance employees' well-being and performance, we turned our focus to the role of workplace conflict, which is inherent to social interactions at work and constitutes one of the most important sources of stress at workplace. However, these studies are at individual level while an interpersonal conflict is usually a group process (i.e., intragroup conflict) that affects the whole team or unit. Psychological resilience, positive emotions, and successful adaptation to stress in later life. Intergroup conflict is a term that refers to disagreement or confrontation between two or more groups and their members. Consequently, the existing conflict management climate did not show any moderation effect. Organ. The effect of conflict at work on well-being: depressive symptoms as a vulnerability factor. In sum, although these results need caution since our study is not exempt from limitations, this study offers some insights into the interplay of individual resources and group dynamics, suggesting that interventions aimed both at developing individual psychological strengths and at improving group dynamics such as conflict resolution can have a positive impact on employees' well-being and performance, which are considered key indicators of positive and health organizations. A., Connelly, S., and Thiel, C. E. (2014). ABSTRACT This study examined the prevalence and consequences of intragroup conflicts for well-being in three women-dominated occupations from a gender perspective. Furthermore, the effect size of such relationship was stronger in the service sector compared to those organizations based in the manufacturing industry, probably because performance in the service sector relies more on social interactions that require emotional norms favoring the expression of positive affect (Avey et al., 2011, p. 146). Sci. 30, 309319. For example, employees working in a call center who were trained for cooperative conflict management improved their performance (i.e., fewer turnover rates, more calls answered, fewer customer complaints, and better quality examination scores) after the training compared to their non-trained colleagues (Tjosvold et al., 2014).

PHO has its roots in the Human Relations Movement, which (a) proposes that satisfied workers are more productive than others (i.e., the happy-productive worker hypothesis: Wright et al., 2007), and (b) calls for a psychology focusing on building organizations that facilitate employee development and promote quality of life (i.e., positive psychology: Seligman and Csikszentmihalyi, 2000). doi: 10.1037/1072-5245.13.2.176, Sitzmann, T., and Yeo, G.

Also, there was an association between intragroup relationship conflict and burnout (r = 0.33). Reaping the benefits of task conflict in teams: the critical role of team psychological safety climate. Moreover, following the positive resource caravans and gain spirals at work proposed in the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, which assumes that various resources are salient factors in gaining new resources and enhancing well-being (Hobfoll, 1989, 2001, 2002), future research should test whether a constructive conflict management climate in the team can be considered as a team resource that not only prevents potential negative consequences of intragroup conflict on performance, but also improves relevant team processes that have potential positive consequences on team performance and viability. Nevertheless, based on previous literature on the association between PsyCap and performance, it seems that people with higher PsyCap will succeed in providing a high quality of service because they will perceive they have necessary skills to perform their tasks (self-efficacy) and being successful (optimism).

Regarding the role of intragroup conflict, results revealed that only conflict about personal issues or relationship conflict is positively associated to burnout. Deutsch, M., and Coleman, P. T. (2000). (2012). To test hypothesis H5, we allowed the slope to vary for each type of conflict and we introduced the Conflict Management Climate first as a predictor (Step 1) and then (Step 2) its interaction with the different type of conflicts (relationship conflict for H5a, process conflict for H5b, and task conflict for H5c). Number of empirical and theoretical difficulties with perspective= meaning it is unlikely by itself to provide a complete account of all aspects of intergroup relations FROM THE 3 STAGES SHERIF NOT ONLY MADE STRANGERS INTO ENEMIES, BUT HE ALSO MADE THE ENIMIES INTO FRIENDS. Thus, this research addresses both a main effect at individual level (psychological capital on burnout/quality of service) and a moderated cross-level model (2-2-1: intragroup conflict, conflict management climate and burnout/quality of service) in a cross-sectional survey study (N = 798 workers nested in 55 units/facilities). Related content. Generally useful for understanding intergroup conflict focuses on the relationship between peoples goals competitive or cooperative nature of their behaviour conflicting or harmonious nature of their relations RCT was present in a classical social psychology experiment, commonly known as Robbers Cave conducted by: MUZAFER SHERIFF AND COLLEAGUES (1954) * Studied group behaviour * -researcher carefully observed the behaviours of the children * Reason to learn how group conflict developed and how it might be resolved among the children This was identified through 3 stages * group formation intergroup conflict: group polarization exacerbated the conflict * conflict reduction: to reduce conflict, groups were introduced to subordinate goals goals that both groups desire but were unattainable by one group by its own efforts (Sherif, 1966) The study consisted of: * Boys camp in Robbers Cave, Oklahoma * Divided 22, 11 year old boys, middle class, white, psychologically well adjusted, stable homes 2 separate groups prior to arrival -SELF-CATEGORISATION occurs as: * If people were merely catergorized into different groups, then the beginnings of in-group loyalty and out-group discrimination (Tajfel, 1982, cited in BBB, 2009) each group developed its own social norms and group structure * became quite cohesive, with strong positive SOCIAL IDENTITY SHERIF ET AL. This prompted the researchers to ascertain the strategic ways of resolving the conflicts. Third, like most survey-based study, our performance (quality of service) measure is perceptual in its nature and may be affected by social desirability. Int.

In doing so, we first focus on psychological capital (i.e., positive psychological resources) as a relevant factor contributing to workers' well-being and performance at individual level, particularly we assume that workers' psychological capital is an essential resource at individual level both to cope with job demands or work stressors and to trigger positive experiences at work, which are key features of positive and healthy organizations. In response, we used a single item that captures employees' shared beliefs that disagreement can be discussed and intragroup conflicts are generally managed well and fairly in their unit (i.e., In my team/unit conflict arises as in all teams everywhere; however, my team openly discusses disagreements and conflicts are effectively managed and solved). 55, 647654.

This research addresses both a main effect at individual level (psychological capital on burnout/quality of service) and a moderated cross-level model (2-2-1) in which conflict management climate buffers the negative association between intragroup conflict and quality of service. In that sense, in line with the happy-productive worker hypothesis (Wright et al., 2007), Taris and Schreurs (2009) argued that burnout impedes performance because high levels of emotional fatigue result in being unable as well as being unwilling to perform well (p. 123).

Getting return on quality: revenue expansion, cost reduction, or both? More recently, longitudinal studies have associated PsyCap with increased overall well-being and work happiness over time (e.g., Luthans et al., 2013; Williams et al., 2015) and a meta-analysis has shown that PsyCap is a significant predictor of psychological well-being and other desirable employee attitudes (e.g., job satisfaction: Avey et al., 2011). Previous studies have found a negative association between intragroup conflict and both employees' health and .

Building on these rationales and findings, we propose that PsyCap is negatively associated to burnout (H1) and positively associated to perceived quality of service (H2). According to the stress appraisal theory (Lazarus and Folkman, 1984), the stressor-strain relationship is determined by individuals' evaluation of both the situation (primary appraisal: the significance of what is happening for their well-being) and their perception of having available coping resources to manage such situation (secondary appraisal: coping options).
