The purpose of this thesis was to study the influence of the amount of face-to-face interaction on task and relationship conflict, especially in teams with a shared identity. Data was collected from 332 respondents, who are members in a team in real life. Results show that the amount of face-to-face interaction had a significant negative impact on relationship conflict and a significant positive impact on task conflict. The model with team identification as a moderator was significant only regarding task conflict and not relationship conflict.
