Abstract
Building on Deutsch’s theory of cooperation and competition and prior work on team mindfulness, we develop a model to outline how and when team mindfulness reduces team relationship conflict. A time-lagged survey was conducted with 73 teams in an airline food service company located in China. The results showed that team mindfulness was negatively related to team relationship conflict via increased cooperative conflict management and decreased competitive conflict management. Further, high perceived job demands within a team were shown to weaken the positive effect of team mindfulness on cooperative conflict management. Theoretical contributions and practical implications are discussed.
