Abstract This study theoretically and empirically examines the important role that goal structures play in new venture teams. Specifically, we examine how creative self-efficacy affects the satisfaction of team members through cooperative and competitive goal interdependence. Relying on social cognitive and social interdependence theories, we contend that new venture teams’ creative self-efficacy leads to higher team satisfaction because it promotes the perception of cooperative goal structures among team members. We test our theory on new venture teams in the independent board game industry. Results generally support our hypotheses and we discuss the implications for entrepreneurship research and practice.

摘要 本研究从理论上和实证上检验了目标结构在新风险投资团队中所起的重要作用。具体来说，我们研究了创造性自我效能如何通过合作和竞争目标相互依赖影响团队成员的满意度。依靠社会认知和社会相互依存理论，我们认为新创业团队的创造性自我效能会导致更高的团队满意度，因为它促进了团队成员对合作目标结构的感知。我们在独立棋盘游戏行业的新风险团队中测试我们的理论。结果通常支持我们的假设，我们讨论了对创业研究和实践的影响。
