TMT Demography, Conflict, and (Effective) Decision Making: The Key Role of Value Congruence

Management

Research output: Contribution to conference › Presentation

Abstract

The article examines the relationships among top management team (TMT) heterogeneity, conflict and decision making effectiveness. It analyzes the supposition that heterogeneity and conflict are complementary under the right conditions, which enable better TMT functioning and better decisions. The authors assert that TMTs with high value congruence and high demographic heterogeneity will experience higher task conflict while experiencing lower relationship conflict at the same time. It is also anticipated that the values of the TMT members will influence the ways in which they interpret and respond to disagreements.
