Conventional wisdom about conflict seems pretty much cut and dried. Too little ij),DbWd
conflict breeds apathy (冷漠) and stagnation (呆滞). Too much conflict leads to x1et,&,
divisiveness (分裂) and hostility. Moderate levels of conflict, however, can spark :U>

creativity and motivate people in a healthy and competitive way. ^eRuj)$5A
Recent research by Professor Charles R. Schwenk, however, suggests that the td~3N,S
optimal level of conflict may be more complex to determine than these simple ^pP

generalizations. He studied perceptions of conflict among a sample of executives. 5W48z%MN
Some of the executives worked for profit-seeking organizations and others for 9.B7Owgr89
not-for-profit organizations. H#y"3E<s
Somewhat surprisingly, Schwenk found that opinions about conflict varied V_kE"W)
systematically as a function of the type of organization. Specifically, managers in uwka 2aSS
not-for-profit organizations strongly believed that conflict was beneficial to their \v_C7R;&
organizations and that it promoted higher quality decision making than might be [8w2U%}]
achieved in the absence of conflict. Vmc)or*#
Managers of for-profit organizations saw a different picture. They believed that aBnbu
vp
conflict generally was damaging and usually led to poor-quality decision making in pS\>X_G3
their organizations. Schwenk interpreted these results in terms of the criteria for vo-{3]u#=
effective decision making suggested by the executives. In the profit-seeking &?nF';&
organizations, decision-making effectiveness was most often assessed in financial Q/9b'^UJ
terms. The executives believed that consensus rather than conflict enhanced financial

indicators. p rgjU
In the not-for-profit organizations, decision-making effectiveness was defined fL;p^t u3
from the perspective of satisfying constituents. Given the complexities and xJhbGK
ambiguities associated with satisfying many diverse constituents executives perceived 4/?Zp4g
that conflict led to more considered and acceptable decisions. ]Yex#K
