How to Transform Team Creativity into Organizational Performance?——Organizational Innovation as a Mediator

在外部环境日益复杂、市场竞争不断加剧的情境下,创造力对企业的重要性日益凸显。然而,团队创造力与组织绩效的关系存在复杂的作用机理,团队创造力产生的新颖有用的想法只有被组织加以应用并付诸实践才能有效。本文从团队创造力人手,引入组织创新作为中介变量,通过大样本实证研究团队创造力、组织创新与组织绩效的内在联系,在一定程度上厘清了团队创造力到组织绩效的复杂作用机理。研究发现:(1)团队创造力对组织绩效有积极影响;(2)组织创新的两个维度对组织绩效均有正向影响,但二者的交互对其影响并不显著;(3)团队创造力的水平越高,越能够促进组织创新行为的增加;(4)组织创新在团队创造力和组织绩效之间发挥完全中介作用。

Therefore, how to stimulate and enhance the creativity of the team to promote the sustain- able development of corporations has become an important issue that has been concerned by scholars in recent years. However, team creativity and organizational performance is not a simple linear relationship, there has a complex mechanism existing in that relationship, and only the new and useful ideas which produced by team creativity be ap- plied into the practice can the effectiveness be attained. In addition, some scholars have put forward that team crea- tivity is the input of creative idea in the activities of the organization, while organizational innovation is the operation and management, and as an important channel to transform creative input to the organization output, which also means organization performance.

Therefore, this research take organizational innovation as the mediating variable and introduced it to the re- search of the mechanism organizational innovation to organizational performance, and discussing the internal rela- tionship among team creativity, organizational innovation and organizational performance by the methods of literature research and regression analysis, and explore the influence path of creativity on organizational performance, also check out the mediating effect of organization innovation on team creativity and organizational performance and to clarify the complex mechanism of team creativity transferring to organizational performance in a certain extent.

The results show that ： （ 1 ） team creativity has a positive impact on organizational performance, the higher the team creativity in the organization, the better organizational performance exists ; （2） the two dimensions of organiza- tional innovation have a positive impact on organizational performance, but the interaction of them influenced organi- zational performance is not significantly, and the more attention should be paid to the synchronization of technology and management innovation in enterprise practice to enhance organizational innovation capability and organization performance simultaneously ; （3） the higher level of the team creativity, the more increase of organizational innova- tion behavior will be received.
