A multilevel perspective on faultlines: Differentiating the effects between group- and organizational-level faultlines.
JOURNAL OF APPLIED PSYCHOLOGY(2016)
Abstract
Integrating the literature on faultlines, conflict, and pay, we drew on the basic principles of multilevel theory and differentiated between group-and organizational-level faultlines to introduce a novel multilevel perspective on faultlines. Using multisource, multilevel data on 30 Major League Baseball (MLB) teams, we found that group-level faultlines were negatively associated with group performance, and that internally focused conflict exacerbated but externally focused conflict mitigated this effect. Organizational-level faultlines were negatively related to organizational performance, and were most harmful in organizations with high levels of compensation. Implications for groups and teams in the sports/entertainment and other industries are discussed.
