1. Conflict can improve an organization’s performance: if the conflict is channeled toward the goals of the organization, it can challenge the workers to focus on how they can best contribute to their quota to achieve the goal. This type of conflict is categorized under functional conflict. This can work out when people listen to one another to debate their ideas, which can lead to innovative solutions. 2. Relationship conflict can increase group creativity through persistence. This can work when it involves group working relationships and practices that suppress negative emotions. 3. Task conflict can also lead to individual and team performance if it is at a minimum.
