Team Knowledge Diversity and Team Creativity: The Moderating Role of Status Inequality

Abstract: We examined the relationship between team task knowledge diversity and team creativity, and the moderating role of team status inequality, with a focus on organizational tenure and rank inequality. By adopting an input–process–output framework, we hypothesized that teams would achieve high levels of creativity when they have a large pool of task-relevant expertise that is differentiated and specialized among team members, but the relationship would be weakened when team members have different statuses. We tes… Show more

“…Finally, our study explores the diversity-creativity link in entrepreneurial teams with a field nested dataset from venture teams, especially in the domain of high-tech industries in China. Thus, our findings provide some of the first empirical evidence to examine how knowledge-based diversity of entrepreneurial teams facilitates TC potential, given that the prior studies on diversity-creativity relationships have been most concerned with working teams, R&D teams, and TMTs (e.g., Shin and Zhou, 2007;Buyl et al, 2011;Wang et al, 2016;Park et al, 2018;Sung and Choi, 2019;Guo et al, 2021).…”

“…In this vein, team members with various social backgrounds block intrateam communication and joint efforts toward collective performance (van der Vegt, 2002 ; Cunningham and Sagas, 2004 ; Harrison and Klein, 2007 ). Given that the current literature has mixed ends about this relationship (Shin and Zhou, 2007 ; Hülsheger et al, 2009 ; van Knippenberg and Hoever, 2017 ; Park et al, 2018 ), these deficiencies necessitate a call for more research on the diversity–TC link (Wang et al, 2016 ).…”

“…The task knowledge diversity in our study, thus, is consistent with the conceptualization of variety. We define task knowledge diversity as “the degree to which a team’s reservoir of task-relevant knowledge and skills is distributed and specialized among team members” (Park et al, 2018, p. 1613).…”
