q)j_QbW) Conventional wisdom about conflict seems pretty much cut and dried. Too little
5(=5GkE)> conflict breeds apathy (冷漠) and stagnation (呆滯). Too much conflict leads to
.sCj3sX* divisiveness (分裂) and hostility. Moderate levels of conflict, however, can spark

L creativity and motivate people in a healthy and competitive way.
\_]X+o; Recent research by Professor Charles R. Schwenk, however, suggests that the
#soV'SFG optimal level of conflict may be more complex to determine than these simple
DYDeb i6 generalizations. He studied perceptions of conflict among a sample of executives.
2Onp{,'} Some of the executives worked for profit-seeking organizations and others for
QdrZi.qKH not-for-profit organizations.
Uc;~q-??# Somewhat surprisingly, Schwenk found that opinions about conflict varied
85T"(
HhT systematically as a function of the type of organization. Specifically, managers in
-|GKtZ]} not-for-profit organizations strongly believed that conflict was beneficial to their
\i'Z(1 organizations and that it promoted higher quality decision making than might be
g\% Z+Dc achieved in the absence of conflict.
E|vXM"zFl Managers of for-profit organizations saw a different picture. They believed that
GEK7q< conflict generally was damaging and usually led to poor-quality decision making in
ZZn$N- their organizations. Schwenk interpreted these results in terms of the criteria for
`/O AgV"` effective decision making suggested by the executives. In the profit-seeking
Yb=77(QV organizations, decision-making effectiveness was most often assessed in financial
V3>tW,z terms. The executives believed that consensus rather than conflict enhanced financial
|A/H*J, indicators.
njc-=o In the not-for-profit organizations, decision-making effectiveness was defined
n$F~ from the perspective of satisfying constituents. Given the complexities and
.ht-* ambiguities associated with satisfying many diverse constituents executives perceived
f"*k>=ETI that conflict led to more considered and acceptable decisions.
