Will Leader Critical Thinking Trigger Team Creativity?A Three-way Interactive Model
With the increasing status of innovation-driven development strategy and the prevalence of teamwork,team creativity has at-tracted more and more attention from scholars.The current study explores the influence of leader critical thinking on team creativity from the cognitive perspective.We examine the effectiveness of leader critical thinking on team creativity with 82 R&D teams from a mobile communication company as the sample.Drawing on MIP-G,the study finds that leader critical thinking is positively related to team crea-tivity,in which team information elaboration plays a mediating role.In addition,time pressure and task complexity moderate the relation-ship between leader critical thinking and team information elaboration,in such a way that time pressure attenuates the relationship,while task complexity strengthens the relationship.In addition,leader critical thinking,time pressure and task complexity have a three-way in-teractive effect on team information elaboration,in such a way that the relationship between leader critical thinking and team information elaboration is the strongest when time pressure is low and task complexity is high.At last,we discuss the theoretical implications and practical suggestions.
