Team creativity: the effects of perceived learning culture, developmental feedback and team cohesion

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of perceived learning culture, developmental feedback and team cohesion on team creativity. The results showed that the demographic variables, the three antecedents and their interactions explained 41 per cent of variance in team creativity. Team creativity was positively correlated with a higher level of learning culture, developmental feedback and team cohesion. In addition to the main effects, two interaction effects (developmental feedback and team cohesion; learning culture and team cohesion) were significant. In view of these results, organizations seeking to increase team creativity need an integrated strategy incorporating elements of culture management, effective coaching and team development. Implications, limitations and recommendations for future research are discussed.

The Mediating Role of Intrinsic Motivation on the Relationship Between Developmental Feedback and Employee Job Performance

“…Our aim in this study was to examine how developmental feedback affects employee job performance. Prior researchers have confirmed that supervisor developmental feedback is positively associated with positive employee work attitudes and behavior (Joo, Song, Lim, & Yoon, 2012;Li, Harris, Boswell, & Xie, 2011;Yin & Zheng, 2011). However, few researchers have examined an intermediate process through which developmental feedback influences employee work behavior.…”

Team Processing and Creative Self-efficacy in Professionals from Creative and Non-creative Industries

Group Creativity Training for Children: Lessons Learned from Two Award‐Winning Teams

“…Group atmosphere Group atmosphere refers to "psychological conditions prevailing in an organization" or a group and is at times used synonymously with "organizational climate" (Ekvall & Ryhammar, 1999). It seems that a positive group atmosphere is invariably beneficial for a group to achieve a high level of creativity in the case of both adults in a professional organization setting (Ekvall & Ryhammar, 1999;Joo et al, 2012;Schepers & Berg, 2007) and children in a classroom situation (Dudek, Strobel, & Rundo, 1993;Fleith et al, 2002;Hu et al, 2013). This may be because the group atmosphere or classroom climate setting implicitly suggests "basic values" that the members of a group should follow (Ekvall & Ryhammar, 1999).…”
