Intragroup conflict

In sociology, intragroup conflict (or infighting) refers to conflict between two or more members of the same group or team.^[1] In recent years, intragroup conflict has received a large amount of attention in conflict and group dynamics literature.^[2] This increase in interest in studying intragroup conflict may be a natural corollary of the ubiquitous use of work groups and work teams across all levels of organizations, including decision-making task forces, project groups, or production teams.^[3] Jehn^[4] identified two main types of intragroup conflict: task conflict and relationship (or emotional) conflict (e.g., differences in personal values).
