“…Studies show that conflicts between colleagues are affected by a lack of identifying with the team, 38 lack of collaborative behaviors, and poor information exchange. 39 With these studies supporting the findings of the study, it can be said that although perceived conflict level is high, the team approach attitudes will increase as the nurses use appropriate strategies to effectively manage conflicts.…”

Purpose: To examine the relationship between nurses' conflict management strategies and teamwork attitudes. Method: This cross-sectional, descriptive, and relational study was conducted with 228 nurses in a hospital in southern Turkey. Data were collected through The TeamSTEPPS Teamwork Attitudes Questionnaire and the Rahim Organizational Inventory-II.Results: Of all the nurses, 91.2% reported to have had conflicts. Nurses stated that they mostly used compromising and integrating strategies. Teamwork attitudes questionnaire mean score was 108.28 ± 11.45. Conflict management strategies are significant predictors of teamwork attitudes and these explain 46% (model 1; R 2 = 0.46; P <.01), and education, gender, units, years of experience explain 2% of the total variance in teamwork attitudes (model 2; R 2 = 0.48; P < .01).Practice Implications: Mental health nurses together with manager nurses should focus on improving nurses' teamwork attitudes and constructive conflict management strategies within the team.

By synthesizing the knowledge and identifying antecedents, this review offers evidence to support recommendations on managing and mitigating conflict. As inevitable as conflict is, it is the responsibility of everyone to increase their own awareness, accountability and active participation in understanding conflict and minimizing it. Future research should investigate the testing of interventions to minimize these antecedents and, subsequently, reduce conflict.

“…Conflict literature typically focuses on how different types of conflict affect project outcomes (Weingart et al, 2015). Scholars uniformly agree that relationship conflict affects project performance adversely (Ren et al, 2009;Solansky et al, 2014) and it appears necessary to manage relationship conflict to reduce it (Cameloordaz et al, 2014). However, things become a bit more complicated when it comes to task conflicts.…”

Purpose This paper aims to explain how contractual complexity, including contractual control, coordination and adaptation, makes a difference to the task and relationship conflict, and then, to investigate the moderating roles played by both, total interdependence and interdependence asymmetry, in altering the association between the two types of conflicts. Design/methodology/approach This study obtained data through a questionnaire survey in the Chinese construction industry and the final sample consisted of 232 responses. The data were analysed using hierarchy analysis using SPSS. Findings The results are as follows: first, higher contractual control and coordination reduce the level of relationship conflicts, and higher contractual coordination also reduces the level of task conflicts; second, task conflict positively affects relationship conflict; third, task conflict mediates the relationship between contractual coordination and relationship conflict; and finally, when total interdependence is higher, task conflict induces more relationship conflict. On the contrary, high interdependence asymmetry weakens the positive relationship between task and relationship conflicts. Practical implications This study highlights the importance of contracts in conflict management. The findings can guide practitioners in drafting suitable contracts to deal with task and relationship conflicts more effectively. Originality/value This study differentiates the effects of distinct components of contracts on task and relationship conflicts, and then reveals the contingent effects of interdependence on the relationship between task and relationship conflicts in inter-organisational transactions.
