Abstract

We develop theory using a novel conceptualization of creative personality to explain how implicit creative personality predicts the development of conflict in teams. Specifically, we contend that implicit creative personality is useful for predicting differing profiles of team conflict that subsequently predict important team outcomes, including performance. Informed by the complexity perspective on conflict, we demonstrate that higher team average levels of implicit creative personality are associated with functional profiles of team conflict that are indicative of team norms of ‘lively debate’ and a robust work ethic, both of which are ultimately beneficial to multiple aspects of team effectiveness. The findings from two samples (including more than 900 individuals in over 240 teams) of undergraduate students largely support our theory. This investigation of the influence of implicit aspects of creative personality on team effectiveness through team conflict offers clarity regarding the way in which creative personality affects team processes and team outcomes. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.

创意个性、团队冲突概况和团队成果

我们利用创新人格的新概念来发展理论，解释内隐创新人格如何预测团队冲突的发展。具体来说，我们认为内隐创造性人格有助于预测团队冲突的不同特征，而这些特征随后会预测包括绩效在内的重要团队结果。根据关于冲突的复杂性观点，我们证明了较高的团队内隐创造性人格平均水平与团队冲突的功能性特征相关，而团队冲突的功能性特征表明了 "热烈辩论 "的团队规范和稳健的职业道德，这两者最终都有利于团队效率的多个方面。两个本科生样本（包括 240 多个团队中的 900 多人）的研究结果在很大程度上支持了我们的理论。这项关于创造性人格的内隐方面通过团队冲突对团队效率的影响的调查，阐明了创造性人格影响团队过程和团队结果的方式。本文还讨论了对理论和实践的启示。
