The purpose of this study is to identify the best model that explains the relationship between conflicting risk structures and decision quality. Using confirmatory factor analysis and hierarchical regression techniques as statistical methods, the author confirmed that changes in the conflicting risk structures correlated with changes in decision quality. The sample included cybersecurity and risk management workers allowing the researcher to extend the classical intragroup conflict research to the field of cybersecurity risk management. The research design included predictor variables that are latent, measured indirectly, consisting of team cohesion, intragroup conflict, goal similarity, and conflict resolution capabilities. Together these factors make up conflicting risk structures, describing a phenomenon thought to exist in cyber risk environments. This study's moderating variable is cognitive diversity, measured by expertise diversity and conflict handling style. The outcome variable is decision quality. The study's benefit is collecting scientific evidence that demonstrates that cybersecurity risk management practitioners may moderate the relationship between conflicting risk structures and explain decision quality. The research questions seek statistical evidence of a significant correlation between team cohesion and intragroup conflict, goal similarity, intragroup conflict, and security risk decision quality. The researcher also questions whether expert diversity moderates intragroup conflict and risk decision quality and whether cognitive style diversity moderates intragroup conflict and risk decision quality. The sample included 146 workers of cybersecurity with some certificate of technical achievement and current employment in some aspect of professional risk management. The findings support that cognitive diversity is a significant moderator of conflicting risk structures. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
