When interpersonal goal conflict results in general team conflict: An experiment considering intrapersonal tension as a mediator
Interpersonal goal conflict occurs when at least one team member has a goal that interferes with the achievement of other team members' goals. Such interpersonal goal conflict has an impact on a variety of team outcomes (e.g., team performance, well-being) and may theoretically lead to general team conflict, although the latter has not yet been empirically investigated. Hence, the primary aim of this study is to examine whether interpersonal goal conflict has an impact on general team conflict. In addition, a secondary aim is to examine whether intrapersonal tension may be a mediator of this relationship. Increased intrapersonal tension (including negative emotions) may be a necessary condition for interpersonal goal conflict to lead to general team conflict. A between-subject experiment with three conditions was conducted. In all conditions, participants (N = 80 male sports science students; Mage = 22.64 years, SD = 2.72) performed in a team of three (including a confederate). The team goal was to perform an interactive task on a bicycle ergometer. Interpersonal goal conflicts were induced by threatening the achievement of the team goal through additive deviant individual goal-behavior constellations in the experimental conditions. Perceived intrapersonal tension (mediator) and perceived general team conflict (dependent variable) were measured after the task. An ANOVA showed that general team conflict was higher in the experimental condition with an additional deviant behavior (DB) than in the control condition (CC) and the experimental condition with an additional deviant goal without deviant behavior (DG); there were no significant differences between CC and DG. A mediation analysis showed that the relationship between goal incompatibility and general team conflict, partly mediated via intrapersonal tension, was stronger in DB than in DG. The experiment with young adult males provides evidence that interpersonal goal conflict behavior (and not just the existence of a deviant goal) leads to general team conflict, which is partly explained by intrapersonal tension among team members.
期刊介绍:
Psychology of Sport and Exercise is an international forum for scholarly reports in the psychology of sport and exercise, broadly defined. The journal is open to the use of diverse methodological approaches. Manuscripts that will be considered for publication will present results from high quality empirical research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, commentaries concerning already published PSE papers or topics of general interest for PSE readers, protocol papers for trials, and reports of professional practice (which will need to demonstrate academic rigour and go beyond mere description). The CONSORT guidelines consort-statement need to be followed for protocol papers for trials; authors should present a flow diagramme and attach with their cover letter the CONSORT checklist. For meta-analysis, the PRISMA prisma-statement guidelines should be followed; authors should present a flow diagramme and attach with their cover letter the PRISMA checklist. For systematic reviews it is recommended that the PRISMA guidelines are followed, although it is not compulsory. Authors interested in submitting replications of published studies need to contact the Editors-in-Chief before they start their replication. We are not interested in manuscripts that aim to test the psychometric properties of an existing scale from English to another language, unless new validation methods are used which address previously unanswered research questions.
