Abstract
Previously, shared leadership was shown to have positive effects on team outcomes such as team effectiveness, team satisfaction, and team performance. Where one of the fundamental assumptions is the fluent switching of leadership between team members and we hypothesized that intragroup conflict has a moderating effect on the relationship between shared leadership and team performance. We categorized intragroup conflicts into task- and relationship conflicts and hypothesized that both types of conflicts would negatively affect team performance in shared leadership teams. In the end, 46 participants completed a detailed and specifically for this purpose-designed questionnaire addressing different aspects of shared leadership, team performance, and intragroup conflicts. Our study confirmed that shared leadership improved team performance. Surprisingly, task conflict did not negatively affect team performance and even showed a positive effect on team performance in teams where shared leadership was high. Relationship conflict did not have a significant effect on the relationship between shared leadership and team performance. In this report, we discuss practical applications, weaknesses and strengths, and future research possibilities.
