Abstract
In this study we propose and research an explanation for the conflicting result found (Berman et al., 2012; Sinha et al., 2021), in respect to the relationship of shared leadership and conflict. We suggest that this can be explained by the different types of conflict that possibly exist, in this research we chose to look at task and relationship conflict. We have investigated via two proposed models whether shared leadership indeed has different effects on task and relationship conflict and if trust has an influence with respect to these two relations. This was researched conducted through a questionnaire (N = 74) that was distributed by a convenience sample. In this study it was hypothesized that shared leadership would be negatively associated with relationship conflict, there was no evidence found for this hypothesis within the proposed model. It was hypothesized that this relationship would be moderated by trust, for this there was also no evidence found within the proposed model. Further it was hypothesized that trust would be negatively associated to relationship conflict, no evidence of this has been found within the proposed model. For the hypothesized positive association between shared leadership and task conflict there was also no evidence found within the proposed model. The same is the case for the hypothesized moderating effect of trust on this relationship. Lastly instead of the hypothesized positive relationship between trust and task conflict in this study the opposite was found. Keywords: shared leadership, task conflict, relationship conflict, trust
