ABSTRACT

What makes teams creative? We investigated how the diversity and agreeableness of team members moderate the relationship between creative self-efficacy (CSE) and innovative performance at the team level. We found that the educational background diversity is a critical factor to affect the knowledge, perspective, and problem-solving skills and, in turn, has a positive effect on innovative performance. We also showed that the relationship between aggregated CSE and innovative performance was not linear but inverted U-shaped at the team level. We expect our study to provide meaningful managerial implications about team composition and team innovative performance.

摘要

是什么使团队富有创造力？我们调查了团队成员的多样性和友善度如何调节团队一级的创造性自我效能感（CSE）与创新绩效之间的关系。我们发现，教育背景的多样性是影响知识，观点和解决问题能力的关键因素，进而对创新绩效产生积极影响。我们还表明，综合CSE与创新绩效之间的关系不是线性的，而是在团队层次上呈倒U形。我们希望我们的研究对团队组成和团队创新绩效具有有意义的管理意义。
