摘　　要：明确地位冲突与团队创新之间的关系,对于团队合理设计地位层级,发挥地位制度正向作用具有重要意义。然而,目前关于地位冲突能否促进团队创新尚未取得一致的研究结论。本文基于地位竞争的视角,通过区分不同导向的领导-下属交换差异化基础,分别探讨了关系导向基础和工作导向基础对团队地位冲突与地位竞争行为之间关系的调节作用。在此基础上,进一步提出地位冲突可能会激发团队成员采取不同的地位竞争行为,从而对团队创新绩效产生双重影响。以132个团队的多源匹配数据为样本,结果表明:威望型地位竞争正向影响团队创新绩效,支配型地位竞争负向影响团队创新绩效;基于工作导向的领导-下属交换差异化基础正向调节地位冲突与威望型地位竞争之间的关系,同时正向调节威望型地位竞争在地位冲突与团队创新绩效之间的中介效应;基于关系导向的领导-下属交换差异化基础正向调节地位冲突与支配型地位竞争行为之间的关系,同时正向调节支配型地位竞争在地位冲突与团队创新绩效之间的中介效应。Clarifying the relationship between status conflict and team innovation performance is essential for teams to reasonably design status hierarchies and bring into play the positive effects of status systems.Most previous studies argue that status competition can lead members to focus too much on their interests,undermine the harmony and trust among team members,and thus adversely affect team innovation.However,some scholars have found that status conflict is not necessarily harmful in recent years.In some cases,status hierarchies can provide competence signals,help to locate resources,and provide for low-cost exchanges that can go beyond monetary incentives to help teams effectively address the provision of internal public goods and facilitate team innovation.There are two status competition strategies in teams depending on the motives and ways of acquiring status.On the one hand,the risk and threat of status reduction implied by status conflict may trigger dominance-based status competition within the team.On the other hand,the opportunity for status advancement implied by status conflict may also motivate members to adopt prestige status-striving behavior in status conflict.Different status-striving behaviors will have different effects on the working atmosphere and status hierarchy of the team.Thus,status conflict is likely to have a dual impact on team innovation performance by stimulating differentiated status-striving behaviors among team members.In addition,as a complex political behavior,the status competition process requires access to critical resources needed for change to gain a voice,material and social support,and control over crucial decision-making processes.As a critical team player,the leader significantly impacts the distribution of power,control of the activation process,and access to resources in the team.According to the leader-member exchange theory(LMX),different kinds of relationships can develop between leaders and team members,which affect the distribution of team resources and status.As
