摘要/Abstract

摘要： 基于Web2.0时代创新团队边界呈开放性发展,团队创造易受外部负反馈干扰,而学术界缺乏团队创造力外部影响因素研究的背景,本文在"激发型信息处理"视角下剖析不同类型外部负反馈联合团队内部特性(合作目标相依性)对团队创造力的影响,提出相应研究假设;运用层次回归法,针对实验研究中收集的97个团队的有效数据进行假设检验,最终得到有利于推动团队创造力外部影响因素理论发展的研究结果:控制型负反馈对团队创造力的新颖性维度产生负向影响,该影响受到合作目标相依性的削弱(即负向调节);信息型负反馈对团队创造力的新颖性维度和有效性维度均产生正向影响,该影响受到合作目标相依性的增强(即正向调节)。

Abstract: In the Web 2.0 era, the boundary of innovative team becomes increasingly open, which has made team's creative work vulnerable to external negative feedbacks. However, the external antecedents of team creativity have been largely neglected in the literature. Thus, this study tested the impacts of different styles of external negative feedbacks on team creativity, as well as the moderating effects of team characteristic (cooperative goal interdependence) on those impacts from a motivated information processing perspective, and proposed the related hypotheses. Using hierarchical regression to analyze the data collected in a laboratory experiment of 97 teams, we found the following results which could enrich our understanding about the external antecedents of team creativity: firstly, controlling negative feedback has a negative impact on the novelty dimension of team creativity, and cooperative goal interdependence weakens this impact through a negative moderating effect on it; secondly, informational negative feedback has positive impacts on both the novelty dimension and the meaningfulness dimension of team creativity, and cooperative goal interdependence strengthens those impacts through positive moderating effects on them.

Key words: negative feedback, team creativity, goal interdependence, motivated information processing, experimental study
