Cohesion and conflict are the two important factors in the process of team operation, and they are also the preconditioned factors affecting the organizational performance. With a large state-owned company as subject, this article studies the relationship among cohesion, conflict and organizational performance. The study result indicates that cohesion of top management team can promote organizational performance, in which sense of morale plays a more important role than the sense of belonging, that cohesion can reduce affective and cognitive conflicts in the team and it is interrelated and interdependent with organizational performance, and that neither affective nor cognitive conflicts exert significant influence on organizational performance. The conclusion verifies the view that there is a cultural difference in “conflict acceptance”.
