Abstract
This study proposes that the open-minded discussion of diverse views, also termed constructive controversy, can reduce relationship conflicts. Data from 302 pairs of managers and employees suggest that the open-minded discussions of views can solve problems and resolve barriers to achievement that help employees feel less frustrated. These discussions also communicate leader support of employees so that they believe their manager cares for them and does not intentionally want them to feel frustrated. Along with previous research, findings suggest that these discussions very much contribute to stronger relationships and joint performance.
