摘　　要：谦卑型领导行为是近年来新兴的领导力理论,团队创造力也一直是学界和实践界关注的焦点,但是目前缺乏深入探讨二者关系的研究。本文基于团队沟通视角,研究了谦卑型领导行为对团队创造力的影响机制及其发挥作用的边界条件。对76位团队领导和342位团队成员的匹配数据进行分析后,结果显示:谦卑型领导行为对团队创造力有积极影响;团队成员之间横向的深度沟通以及团队成员与团队领导之间纵向的反馈沟通共同中介了这一影响过程;此外,团队认知多样性是影响谦卑型领导行为发挥作用的重要边界条件,在高团队认知多样性的情境中,谦卑型领导行为通过团队沟通过程对团队创造力的积极影响更加显著。The development of a dynamic but uncertain environment has recently prompted leadership scholars to shift their attention from relying on leaders to resolve all problems to that of a considerably humble approach that focuses on stimulating the followers’intention to serve.The current study follows this stream of research and empirically explores the construct of humble leader behavior,which is defined as spotlighting others’advantage,acknowledging self-limitations,and modeling teachability.However,the existing understanding on humble leader behavior is incomplete because only a few studies have explored this behavior’s influence on team creativity.The present study discusses the influence mechanism and boundary condition of humble leader behavior on team creativity from a communication perspective.We propose that horizontal communication(e.g.,reflective communication among team members)and vertical communication(e.g.,feedback communication between team members and team leaders)could mediate the relationship between humble leader behavior and team creativity.We also consider team composition as a boundary condition and suggest that the effect of humble leader humble is moderated by team cognitive diversity.The research sample included 342 employees and 76 team leaders from 4 large technology companies in China,thereby enabling us to collect multi-source and time-lagged data.At Time 1,the employees evaluated their leaders’humble behavior and cognitive diversity of their team.After one month,at Time 2,the employees evaluated their reflective communication in teams and feedback communication with team leaders,while the team leader rated the team creativity.We conducted path analysis using Mplus 7.0 to test the theoretical model.Results showed that humble leader behavior was positively related to team creativity.Such influence was mediated by team reflective communication among team members and feedback communication between team leaders and team members.In addition,team cognitive diversity moderated the posit
