Although intragroup conflict has both multilevel and dynamic natures, less attention has been paid to establishing a holistic model of intragroup conflict that emerges across levels and unfolds over time. To address this research gap, we extend the multilevel view of intragroup conflict (Korsgaard et al. 2008) to develop a multilevel and dynamic model of intragroup conflict that explicitly includes (1) the role of time and (2) the feedback loop to encompass the dynamic aspect of intragroup conflict. We further instantiate the extended model in the context of team decision-making. To achieve this and systematically examine the complex relationships, we use agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS). We directly investigate how two types of intragroup conflict—task and relationship conflict—interplay with cross-level antecedences, interrelate and develop over time, and affect team outcomes. This study adds to the intragroup conflict research by extending the field with multilevel and dynamic views.

尽管群体内部冲突具有多层次和动态的性质，但人们很少关注建立跨层次出现并随着时间推移而展开的群体内部冲突的整体模型。为了解决这一研究空白，我们扩展了群体内冲突的多层次观点（Korsgaard et al. 2008），开发了一个群体内冲突的多层次动态模型，该模型明确包括（1）时间的作用和（2）涵盖的反馈循环群体内部冲突的动态方面。我们在团队决策的背景下进一步实例化扩展模型。为了实现这一目标并系统地检查复杂的关系，我们使用基于代理的建模和模拟（ABMS）。我们直接调查两种类型的群体内冲突（任务冲突和关系冲突）如何与跨级别的前因相互作用，随着时间的推移相互关联和发展，并影响团队成果。本研究通过多层次、动态的视角拓展研究领域，丰富了群体内部冲突的研究。
