ABSTRACT

This study distinguishes between radical and incremental creativity at the team level. In addition, group composition in terms of members’ psychological needs is identified as a distinct driver of radical and incremental team creativity. Statistical analysis based on multisource data of 65 work teams shows that (a) team-level need for achievement has a negative main effect on radical team creativity, which disappears in teams with optimistic leaders; (b) team-level need for affiliation has a negative main effect on incremental team creativity, which becomes positive when teams possess high social competence; and (c) team-level need for power is positively related to radical and incremental team creativity. Our analysis demonstrates the multifaceted nature of team creativity and the distinct implications of team-level psychological needs for team creativity.

摘要

这项研究区分了团队层面的激进和渐进式创造力。此外，成员心理需求方面的团队构成被认为是激进和渐进的团队创造力的独特驱动力。基于 65 个工作团队的多源数据的统计分析表明：(a) 团队层面的成就需要对激进的团队创造力有负主效应，在领导乐观的团队中消失；(b) 团队层面的归属需求对增量团队创造力有负面的主要影响，当团队具有高社交能力时，这种影响会变得积极；(c) 团队层面的权力需求与激进和渐进的团队创造力正相关。
