No research exists examining the possible effects person-group (PO) fit can have on the amount of conflict individuals perceive when working with a particular group. This study was the first to examine the relationship between a multidimensional conceptualization of PO fit (i.e., values-based, personality-based, and abilities-based) and perceived intragroup conflict types (relationship, task, and process conflict) under the moderator of perceived group conflict, and an exploratory moderator of task interdependence. It was hypothesized that all three multidimensional PO fit constructs would strongly and negatively correlate with all three perceived intragroup conflict types, especially when perceived group performance was higher. Surveys were collected online through MTurk from a sample of 86 participants. Using centered versions of all predictor variables, analyses were conducted using multiple linear regression and hierarchical linear . regression. Perceived performance did not significantly moderate the relationship between any type of PO fit and any form of conflict. The same results were found using the exploratory moderator of task interdependence. Contributions and limitations are discussed.
