Little is known about the antecedent and consequence of conflict in a New Product Development (NPD) setting. This study classifies conflict into two types, namely cognitive conflict and affective conflict, and explores (1) how NPD task uncertainty leads to cognitive and affective conflict and (2) how such conflicts work toward NPD performance. Based on Resource Dependence Theory (RDT), this study examines the proposed relationships using matching data from focal companies and their suppliers. Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression was performed to examine the proposed hypotheses, with the following outcomes: (1) NPD task uncertainty simultaneously provokes cognitive and affective conflict and (2) the two conflicts affect NPD performance in opposite directions. Consistent with earlier findings, the results of this study confirm that cognitive conflict works positively whereas affective conflict works negatively toward NPD performance.

关于新产品开发（NPD）设置中冲突的前因和后果知之甚少。本研究将冲突分为认知冲突和情感冲突两类，并探讨了（1）NPD任务不确定性如何导致认知冲突和情感冲突，以及（2）这种冲突如何影响NPD的表现。基于资源依赖理论（RDT），本研究使用来自重点公司及其供应商的匹配数据检查了建议的关系。进行了普通最小二乘（OLS）回归以检验提出的假设，结果如下：（1）NPD任务不确定性同时引发认知和情感冲突；（2）这两个冲突以相反的方向影响NPD的表现。与先前的发现一致，
