| Summary: | In the modern organizations where work is to a far extend based on teamwork, identifying the conditions supporting team effectiveness is crucial. In the present research the leader’s sensegiving and leader’s promotion of team sensemaking are analysed as potential moderators of the relationship between temporal team conflict and team effectiveness. The intragroup conflict has been studied in the literature in many context, however, not much attention has been given to leader’s sensegiving in a conflict situation. The present research aims to fill this gap by analysing relationship between the leader’s sensegiving and leader’s promotion of team sensemaking with team effectiveness, through their moderation of negative effects of conflict. As the result of the analysis, the hypothesis of the moderating effect of leader’s sensegiving and leader’s promotion of sensemaking was not supported while investigating temporal conflict, however, in the further analysis of other types of intragroup conflict leader’s promotion of sensemaking showed to have a significant moderating effect on the negative relationship between task conflict and team effectiveness, through reduction of the detrimental effect. Further research is suggested to extend the results of this relevant area of investigation.
