Functional conflict refers to a healthy, constructive disagreement between members of a group that can lead to better decision making, problem solving, and creativity. It supports the goals of the group and improves its performance. Dysfunctional conflict, on the other hand, is destructive and harmful to the group's productivity and relationships. Formal and informal conflict refer to the level of structure and authority involved in the conflict and are not necessarily indicative of whether the conflict is functional or dysfunctional.
