Background: Semiconductor R & D is technology-intensive and under high environmental pressure, often causing team conflicts and affecting innovation efficiency. According to Self-Determination Theory (SDT)، resilience is the key resource to reduce conflict by meeting the basic needs of autonomy, ability and relevance. The existence of mindful leadership will play a moderating role in this effect. Methods: Based on SDT, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 411 R&D personnel from semiconductor enterprises in Guangdong Province. Structural equation modeling and moderation analysis were applied. Results: Research indicates that psychological resilience reduces all three forms of team conflict: task, relationship, and process. Besides this, mindful leadership further helps. It enables psychological resilience to significantly alleviate three types of team conflicts, relative process conflicts, and is more effective in reducing task and interpersonal relationship conflicts. Conclusion: Employee psychological resilience exhibits a substantial negative correlation with task conflict, interpersonal conflict, and process conflict. Mindfulness leadership significantly alleviates the impact of psychological resilience on three types of team conflicts, with a particularly prominent moderating effect on task and relationship conflicts.
