Intragroup conflict
Conflict between members of a group or team / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In sociology, intragroup conflict (or infighting) refers to conflict between two or more members of the same group or team.[1] In the years leading up to 2008, intragroup conflict has received a large amount of attention in conflict and group dynamics literature.[2] This increase in interest in studying intragroup conflict may be a natural corollary of the ubiquitous use of work groups and work teams across all levels of organizations, including decision-making task forces, project groups, or production teams.[3] Jehn[4] identified two main types of intragroup conflict: task conflict and relationship (or emotional) conflict (e.g., differences in personal values).
