员工的创造力对组织的发展至关重要，很大程度上取决于团队的活力。然而，团队通常不能鼓励成员分享他们不同的知识，特别是那些可能导致团队成员之间分歧的知识，因为在团队环境中经常发生冲突。然而，如何在团队情境中从团队领导者的角度来提升员工的创造力这一问题还未得到充分的研究。本研究旨在探讨团队情境下，团队领导者的转型行为与员工创造力之间的跨层级关系。本文提出了一个包含团队冲突和知识共享两个关键过程变量的三路径跨层次中介模型，运用多层次结构方程模型，发现团队冲突和知识共享是跨层次中介的两个顺序中介。本研究强调了变革型领导作为员工创造力跨层面推动者的关键作用。(C) 2016 Elsevier Inc.版权所有。
Employee creativity is critical to organizations' growth and is largely dependent on team dynamics. However, teams generally fail to encourage members to share their diverse knowledge, especially those that may cause disagreement among team members, as conflict often occurs-in a team context. However, the issue of how to enhance employee creativity from the perspective of team leader in a team context is largely understudied. This study aims to explore the cross-level links between the transformational behavior of team leader and employee creativity in a team context. We propose a three-path cross-level mediating model in which two critical team level process variables, i.e., team conflict and knowledge sharing, are involved, Using multi-level structural equation modeling, we found that team conflict and knowledge sharing served as two sequential mediators between the cross-level links. This study highlights the critical role of transformational leadership as across-level enabler for employee creativity. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
