다수준 관점을 활용한 위험감수성향과 창의성과의 관계: 팀 수준 갈등의 매개역할

초록

As employee creativity is an important source of organizational innovation and competitive advantage, organizations are increasingly seeking to foster individual creativity. In addition, with teamwork common in many organizations, individual creativity is often enacted in this context. Consistent with these trends, researchers have shown increasing interest in individual and team creativity. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of risk-taking orientation on individual and team creativity. We proposed that team risk-taking orientation associated with team creativity through team conflict. This study conducted multi-level analysis considering individual and team level simultaneously when team characteristics are composed of individual characteristics. To test our hypotheses, we collected survey-based data from diverse industries 411 employees and 95 teams in South Korea and utilized multilevel structural equation modeling. Also we used Monte Carlo Method for assessing mediation effect. The results revealed that risk-taking orientation was positively associated with individual creativity, but team risk-taking orientation was positively related to team conflict and that team conflict negatively related to team creativity. Moreover, the indirect effect of team risk-taking orientation through team conflict on team creativity. Based on these results, we discuss the theoretical and managerial implications of the study and suggest directions for future research on creativity.
