Abstract
This study examined how perfectionism asymmetry, such as adaptive and maladaptive perfectionism, influences task and relationship conflict. We further investigated how leader’s conflict interventions moderate the relationships between perfectionism asymmetry and conflict from a multilevel perspective. Data was collected from 495 employees comprising 128 project teams. Results showed that adaptive perfectionism asymmetry is negatively related to task conflict and that maladaptive perfectionism asymmetry is positively related to task and relationship conflict. We further examined moderation effects to understand how leader mediational and autocratic conflict interventions can enhance or constrain the effects of perfectionism asymmetry on employees’ conflict.
