摘　　要：基于分类加工模型,探讨了亲社会动机情境因素下,建设性争辩作为中介的信息型子团队均衡与团队创造力之间影响机制研究。运用96个研发团队、533名团队成员的样本数据分析,对所提出的假设进行了实证检验,结果表明:高团队亲社会动机下,信息型子团队均衡能够促进建设性争辩;建设性争辩正向促进团队创造力;高团队亲社会动机下,信息型子团队均衡会通过促进建设性争辩提升团队创造力。The survival and growth of organizations depend on the creativity generated by the collision of knowledge and information from diverse R&D teams. However, in a diverse team composed of team members with different knowledge structures, educational backgrounds and years of service, team members will form information-based faultlines due to their similarity of task attributes, and then divide the team into subgroups of different sizes. Different sizes of information-based subgroups not only bring diversified knowledge and information, but also generate the phenomena of"balance of power "or"the words of the lowly carry little weight", which may lead to conflicts or collective thinking within the team. Therefore, it has become a pressing issue for the team to resolve the antagonistic conflicts within the team, to take full advantage of the diversity of knowledge, to generate positive and constructive controversy behaviors within the team, and to ultimately enhance team creativity.Based on the categorization-elaboration model, the present study explored the mechanism between the balance of information-based subgroups and team creativity, which verified the mediation role of constructive controversy and the moderation role of prosocial motivation.The categorization-elaboration model states that a diverse subgroups structure triggers elaboration processes and social categorization processes that bring diverse knowledge to the team, while also generating social categorization due to the differences among members. The existence of information-based subgroups brings diverse knowledge to the team, but at the same time, the size status of subgroups affects the relationship status within the team. The unbalanced state of information-based subgroups makes the team prone to collective thinking, while the balanced state of information-based subgroups leads team members antagonistic conflict and intergroup bias. The prosocial motivation makes members identify more with the team and are willing to self-reflect and think about other
