Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of task conflict on relationship conflict and the effect of relationship conflict on team satisfaction and to examine the moderating role of trust in peers in the relationship between task conflict and relationship conflict and the moderating role of team orientation in the relationship between relationship conflict and team satisfaction. The major findings were as follows: First, it was found that task conflict had a positive effect on relationship conflict and relationship conflict had a negative effect on team satisfaction. Second, it was found that trust in peers moderated the relationship between task conflict and relationship conflict. Third, it was also found that team orientation moderated the relationship between relationship conflict and team satisfaction. Based on the findings, practical implications and suggestions for future studies were provided.
