When is Chronotype Diversity Related to Team Creativity? Team Temporal Leadership as a Moderator

Is temporal leadership always beneficial? The role of job passion and synchrony preference

“…Although only this literature directly examined the relationship between temporal leadership and employees' innovative behavior, previous studies also provided indirect evidence for the proposed linkage. For example, Pan et al (2019) confirmed that temporal leadership can create a unified plan of interim deadlines to help employees track their process and to strengthen their sense of work process, which is an important contributor of psychological states that improves creativity (Amabile and Pratt, 2016). Effective temporal leadership also can avoid wasting working time and unnecessary interference (such as excessively long meetings and endless e-mail processing) by reasonably scheduling tasks and time (Maruping et al, 2015;Santos et al, 2016).…”

The effects of diversity on creativity: A literature review and synthesis

“…While the diversity in degrees of agreeableness also tended to support team creativity in teams applying a nominal group technique, it seems to inhibit team creativity in teams using face‐to‐face or computer‐mediated communication (Giambatista & Bhappu, 2010). In addition, a quantitative study found that the diversity of a team's chronotype (i.e., the timing of peaks and ebbs in physical and psychological energy; Preckel et al, 2011) had a positive effect on team creativity when team temporal leadership was high and a negative effect when this was not the case (Pan et al, 2019). This interactive pattern was also suggested to indirectly effect the creativity of teams via their work engagement (Pan et al, 2019).…”
