Linkages between group level task conflict and individual level outcomes in non-routine technical jobs
Purpose This study aims to build on the existing research regarding workplace conflict by arguing that task conflict (TC) leads to resource gains for individuals with non-routine technical jobs, which increases individuals’ work engagement (WE) and leads to positive individual-level outcomes. Specifically, this study uses a resource investment/acquisition approach with the aim of offering insight into the consequences of group-level TC on individ…

Drawing on multi‐sourced, multi‐timed, and multilevel data of 306…
