领导差异化授权对团队创造力的“双刃剑”效应研究

The Double-Edged Sword Effect of Differentiated Empowering Leadership on Team Creativity

基于分类加工模型,构建了领导差异化授权对团队创造力的作用机理模型,并采用多来源和时滞式的研究设计,通过包括538个成员的93个团队的问卷调研数据检验对所提出的研究假设进行了检验,探究了领导差异化授权对团队创造力的“双刃剑”效应。研究结果表明:团队政治技能显著调节领导差异化授权与团队创造力的关系,即当团队政治技能水平高时,领导差异化授权对团队创造力具有积极促进作用,而当团队政治技能水平低时,领导差异化授权对团队创造力具有消极抑制作用;团队沟通开放性对团队创造力具有直接促进作用;团队沟通开放性能够中介团队政治技能、领导差异化授权与团队创造力之间的调节关系。即当团队政治技能水平高时,领导差异化授权能够通过积极影响团队沟通开放性,进而提升团队创造力;当团队政治技能水平低时,领导差异化授权能够通过消极影响团队沟通开放性,进而抑制团队创造力。

Based on categorization-elaboration model(CEM),this study built up a theoretical model to explore how differentiated empowering leadership influences team creativity.Using a multiple-source and time-lagged research design,this study tested the proposed hypotheses through the questionnaire survey data of 93 teams including 538 members,and explored the double-edged sword effect of differentiated empowering leadership on team creativity.The results are as follows.First,team political skill could significantly moderate the relationship between differentiated empowering leadership and team creativity.Specifically,under high-level team political skill,differentiated empowering leadership can promote team creativity.However,under low-level team political skill,differentiated empowering leadership can hinder team creativity.Second,team communication openness can directly enhance team creativity.Third,team communication openness mediated the moderating relationship between differentiated empowering leadership,team political skill,and team creativity.To be more specific,under high-level team political skill,differentiated empowering leadership can promote team creativity via team communication openness.However,under low-level team political skill,differentiated empowering leadership can hinder team creativity through team communication openness.
