“…Since the instrument can also be used as a full-scale measurement of team climate, this study used TCI as merely a one-dimensional scale. According to previous studies, the full-scale was reported to have a Cronbach's alpha of 0.91 for the Bahasa Indonesia version (Antonio et al, 2021) and 0.95 for the English version (Primus and Jiang, 2019), which indicated a high reliability. This instrument has a 5-point response scale from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree", in which higher scores suggest a more desirable team climate.…”

Innovative work behavior has become an important research topic in human resource management. In the current fast-paced environment, organizations have also been forced to rely more on people to innovate to stay ahead of the competition. Addressing both the theoretical and practical purposes, this study investigated the roles of knowledge sharing behavior, team climate, and organizational learning culture in predicting innovative work behavior. A self-report questionnaire was used to collect data from employees in a telecommunication company in Indonesia with a total of 155 responses. Regression analysis revealed that knowledge sharing behavior, team climate, and organizational learning culture predicted employees’ innovative work behavior, which was consistent with previous findings. These results contribute to the existing literature by providing evidence that individual, group, and organizational factors should always be considered when predicting innovative work behavior.

“…Therefore, boundary-spanning activities have become an essential issue for scholars from the innovation perspective. However, the existing literature mainly focuses on how to improve team innovation performance through factors within the team, such as leadership style [2,3], team composition [4,5], the characteristics of team members [6][7][8], team atmosphere [9][10][11] and team human resource management [12].

In order to reveal the impact of boundary-spanning activities of cooperative innovation teams on team innovation performance, this paper takes the panel data of 71 cooperative innovation teams from January to November 2022 as the research sample. It introduces intermediary variables (teamwork crafting and individual work crafting) to analyze the impact mechanism of boundary-spanning activities of teams on innovation performance, 71 teams were divided into 41 experimental groups and 30 control groups, and a quasi-natural experiment was conducted on the innovation performance of team boundary-spanning activities using the Double Difference Model (DID).Research has shown that boundary-spanning activities of collaborative innovation teams can promote team innovation performance. Team job crafting has a mediating effect on team innovation performance in boundary-spanning activities of collaborative innovation teams. Team job crafting and individual job crafting mediate between the boundary-spanning activities of collaborative innovation teams and team innovation performance. Further analysis using the double difference model found that compared to teams without boundary-spanning activities, teams with boundary-spanning activities can directly improve team innovation performance. When team reflection is vital, and task interdependence is high, it will promote team innovation performance. This research enriches the research on the effects of boundary-spanning activities of collaborative innovation teams, explores solutions based on quasi-nature, and provides a reference for improving the team innovation performance of collaborative innovation teams.

Training team creativity with Lego Serious Play: Upside and downside of team diversity

We trained 40 teams using Lego Serious Play (LSP), a facilitated workshop method in which the aspects of visualization, commitment, fun and shared storytelling are used. LSP improves open and participatory communication, collaborative learning and intuitive imagination and reduced ‘free ridership’ in innovation teams; it was easier to achieve a ‘train of thought’ or ‘flow’ within a team. LSP is a promising creativity method, although its efficacy is influenced by conditions. Teams can enhance or disrupt creative performance. Different mindsets within creative teams may lead to a broader pallet of new perspectives in the ideation phase of innovation in which divergent thinking is important to explore novel viewpoints. However, diversity may lead to relationship conflicts in a team. We address the dilemma of achieving synergistic benefits from team diversity while managing negative interpersonal tensions between heterogeneous team members in relation to motivational aspects and team climate and summarize this in a significant three-path mediation model. We found a highly significant path with team performance of team diversity, commitment, and ‘voice’ (i.e. the extent to which team members are encouraged to express their views in the team). Team diversity has a potentially upside effect on creative performance, as well as a practical downside effect: it can be a source of interpersonal tension and intergroup biases and consequently less commitment leading to a less open team climate, resulting in lower team performance.
