In light of ever-increasing demands for innovation in work teams, we recommend paradoxical leadership to manage team and individual innovation. Integrating the paradox perspective and ambidexterity theory, we propose a multilevel model of how and when team leaders’ paradoxical leadership enhances team and individual innovative outcomes. We conducted two multi-wave, multisource field studies and a survey study with a cross-lagged panel design. Our findings show that paradoxical leadership has a positive indirect effect on team members’ individual innovation through individual ambidexterity and a positive indirect relationship with team innovation through team ambidexterity. Our results further show that leader vision strengthens the effects of paradoxical leadership on team and individual ambidexterity and innovative outcomes. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of these findings.

工作团队中矛盾的领导与创新：双元性和领导愿景作为边界条件的多层次中介作用

鉴于工作团队对创新的需求不断增加，我们建议采用矛盾的领导来管理团队和个人创新。整合悖论视角和二元性理论，我们提出了一个关于团队领导者的悖论领导如何以及何时增强团队和个人创新成果的多层次模型。我们进行了两项多波、多源实地研究和一项采用交叉滞后面板设计的调查研究。我们的研究结果表明，矛盾型领导通过个体二元性对团队成员的个人创新产生积极的间接影响，并通过团队二元性对团队创新产生积极的间接影响。我们的研究结果进一步表明，领导者的愿景加强了矛盾领导对团队和个人的灵巧性和创新成果的影响。
