Abstract

Creative performance is of great importance for gaining adaptive and competitive advantages in the era of the knowledge-based economy. Drawing on workplace climate theory, knowledge sharing literature and self-determination theory, the present study develops a moderated meditation model to theoretically examine the mechanisms underlying the relationship between team cooperative climate and creative performance. Data were collected in two waves from eight corporations located in southeastern China. Eighty-nine teams (team size ranged from 4 to 24, with a mean of 15.55) completed the survey (overall response rate of 92%) and sent back 1384 valid responses. Results from the multi-level data indicate that team cooperative climate facilitates creative performance through knowledge sharing, and this facilitation is enhanced when team members perceiv a high level of person-team climate fit. Our findings provide theoretical and practical implications for the management of team climate and creative behaviors facilitation.
