| Summary: | 博士 === 國立中央大學 === 人力資源管理研究所 === 99 === The news media business is radically competing in Taiwan, especially the new techonolgy such as SNG changing rutines of journalists; therefore teamwork becomes the key factor among media to survive. As teamwork is the primary routine, task interdependence is highly emphasized more than before. Inevitably, team cooperation and conflict will impact the performance of the journalists. Not only does this research explore the relationship between team’s task interdependence and journalists’ performance but also will look at the moderating effect of team cooperation and team conflict. Therefore, we can clarify the concept of cooperative conflict at the same time. This research collects 492 valid samples out of 600 questionnaires from 44 teams. We use the multilevel Hierarchical Linear Model (HLM) to identify individual and team levels influence separately. The result concludes that task interdependence has a positive influence on individual performance. Furthermore, team conflict positively moderates the relationship between task interdependence and individual performance. Third, team cooperation norm has a positive influence on individual performance. Finally, the most important conclusion is that the higher level of team conflict caused the higher cooperation norm which makes for higher individual performance only in those high task-interdependent teams. This argument clarifies the interaction of cooperative conflict concept which is conceptualized by coopetition studies. This research makes up some important gaps including task interdependence research lack of knowledge worker and this is pioneer conflict research in journalists’ teamwork in Taiwan as we know it.
