摘要/Abstract

摘要： 本研究采用问卷调查法,以团队成员的学习为中介变量,从学习的视角探讨了交互记忆系统对团队创造力的影响及其作用机制。以33个实际运行的工作团队,共244名成员为研究对象,首先通过两轮数据验证了团队成员学习的两个维度:利用性学习和探索性学习。然后通过层次回归方法分析了上下级配对数据,结果表明:交互记忆系统对团队创造力有显著正效应;利用性学习在交互记忆系统与团队创造力的关系中发挥中介作用,而探索性学习对两者的关系并未起中介作用。

Abstract: In the past few decades, how transactive memory system impacts on team creativity is under the debate. The mediating effect of team members’ learning on the relation between transactive memory system and team creativity is examined based on learning approach. The data of 33 operational teams from a comprehensive university in China are collected. The two dimensions of team members’ learning involving exploitative learning and explorative learning are constructed and validated. Based on the hierarchical regression analysis on the up and down rank matching data, the results show the positive effect of transactive memory system on team creativity and the mediative effect of exploitative learning on the relation between transactive memory system and team creativity. Meanwhile there is no mediative effect of explorative learning on the relation between transactive memory system and team creativity.

Key words: transactive memory system, exploitative learning, explorative learning, team creativity
