On the other hand, conflict of interests between team members becomes more likely.

Results of confirmatory factor analysis indicated the discriminant validity of the measurement was also satisfactory. Total effect moderation model were utilized to analyze the data for testing the hypotheses proposed.In line with predictions the results showed that had a significant positive influence on Specifically, task conflict positive effect on job satisfaction was fully mediated by positive emotion.
