目的基于注意理论，考察信息搜寻努力在领导自恋与团队创造力关系中的中介作用。本文还探讨了参与决策在团队领导自恋与信息搜寻努力之间的调节作用。设计/方法/途径通过对中国23家高新技术企业96个研发团队的667名团队成员及其团队负责人进行配对样本调查，收集跨时间数据。采用因子分析、分层回归和通径分析等方法对数据进行分析。结果-本文发现，领导自恋对团队信息搜索努力产生了积极的影响，从而促进团队的创造力，和领导自恋的团队信息搜索努力的影响是更积极的参与决策的背景下。实用意义-自恋应该是一个值得注意的特点，特别是在管理人员的选拔和晋升的部门和团队，专注于创新和创造。而企业应重视团队工作流程，确保团队成员有机会参与决策，以促进团队领导者在制度环境中自恋的“光明”一面，避免“黑暗”一面。独创性/价值本文探讨了如何以及何时领导自恋影响团队创造力在中国高科技企业的基础上注意力理论。本研究拓展了注意理论在团队层面的应用。
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the mediating effect of information search effort on the relationship between leader narcissism and team creativity in China based on attention theory. The paper also explores participative decision making as a moderator in the relationship between team leader narcissism and information search effort. Design/methodology/approach Through a survey of 667 team members and their team leaders from 96 research and development teams at 23 high-tech enterprises in China with paired samples, cross-time data were collected. Confirmatory factor analysis, hierarchical regression and path analysis were adopted to analyze the data. Findings This paper found that leader narcissism had a positive impact on team information search effort, thereby promoting team creativity, and the effect of leader narcissism on team information search effort is more positive in the context of high participation in decision making. Practical implications Narcissism should be a noteworthy trait in manager selection and promotion especially for the departments and teams which focus on innovation and creation. And companies should pay attention to the team work processes to ensure that team members have the opportunity to participate in decision making for promoting the team leader’s narcissistic “bright” side in the institutional environment and avoiding the “dark” side. Originality/value This paper discusses how and when leader narcissism influences team creativity in Chinese high-technology enterprises based on attention theory. This research expands the application of attention theory at the team level.
