For this exploitation, fostering the processes of knowledge generation and knowledge integration is fundamental. Conflicts can both enhance or hinder these processes. In this paper, we will demonstrate that task conflicts offer positive potentials for knowledge generation but negative potentials for knowledge integration, whereas relationship conflicts show primarily negative overall effects. A core problem is that task conflicts are systematically linked with relationship conflicts.
