Abstract
Only a few empirical studies have discussed transfer phenomenon of a conflict in a triangulated relationship among teachers in a school. This study examines how transfer of conflict affects cross-functional communication by analyzing data obtained from teachers. In an ordinary situation, a competitive situation among two persons, information or advices from another member can become advantage for them. Therefore, communication with another person will be more important when intra-organizational conflict becomes bigger. Then the person will communicate with another, and communication between the person and the other is increased. It may be same that in a competitive situation among two teachers, information or advices from another member will be also able to become advantage for them. Therefore, communication with another grade class teacher or another subject teacher will be more important when intra-organizational conflict becomes bigger. Then the teacher will communicate with them, and communication between the teacher and another grade class teacher or another subject teacher will be increased. But, if anything, the results indicate communication between the teacher and another grade class teacher or another subject teacher is not increased. It is revealed that communication among teachers is negatively affected by conflict, nevertheless the teachers fell easy to communicate in the schools. This paper investigate the reason why the teachers has a tendency not to communicate with another teacher. In addition, theoretical and managerial implications are discussed in this research.
