High-performance work systems and team creativity: The mediating role of creative team efficacy

Abstract

We propose a cross-level model to explore the relationship between high-performance work system (HPWS) and team creativity, mediated by creative team efficacy (CTE). Drawing on social cognitive theory, we propose: HPWS is positively related to CTE, CTE is positively related to team creativity and CTE mediates the relationship between HPWS and team creativity. We discuss theoretical contributions and practical implications at the end of this study.
