摘　　要：个体创造力是团队创造力的基石,然而,实践中拥有高创造力的员工却不一定能够引领团队创造力提升。基于社会比较理论和压力认知评价理论,构建包含被调节的中介和被中介的调节嵌套模型,打开高创造力员工何以阻碍团队创造力的“黑箱”。结果显示,在地位—权力错位的条件下,高创造力员工引发的创造力差异更易诱发团队地位冲突,团队创造力难以涌现;团队领导的观点采择行为可以化解这一消极作用,通过降低成员的地位—权力错位程度,缓解地位冲突对创造力差异与团队创造力的负向中介效应。研究结论明晰了高创造力员工导致消极团队表现的根源,并揭示了团队领导破解上述困局之道,对企业和团队创新管理具有一定的启示。Individual creativity is vital for team creativity,but it is difficult for employees with high-creativity to lead the improvement of team creativity in practice.A deep analysis is warranted to explain the paradox and highlight the true value of high-creativity employees.In the research on team creativity,high-creativity employees naturally cause creativity disparity which would affect the attitude and behavior of team members,determine the team interaction process,and is the critical factor influencing team creativity.Thus,it is necessary to study the mechanism of creativity disparity’s effect on team creativity.According to the social comparison theory,on the condition of status-power misalignment,creativity disparity caused by high-creativity employees brings disharmony to the hierarchy structure(team status conflict),and makes it difficult for team creativity to emerge.Because creativity disparity motivates team members to evaluate their relative position in the team by comparing their own creativity with others,the contrast effect of social comparison generates and team members compete with each other for higher status,leading to status conflicts and decreased team creativity.However,social comparison of team members with different creativity levels may also produce an assimilation effect due to team members’evaluation of the psychological stress based on their own status change in their upward comparison with high-creativity members.According to the cognitive appraisal theory of stress,misaligned status-power provides a chance for members to change their status and high-creativity employees are more likely to be perceived as a threat(contrast effect)rather than a challenge(assimilation effect)by other team members,thus team status conflicts are intensified and team creativity is blocked.To change the dysfunction of team norms caused by status-power misalignment,the explicit intervention of the team leader is necessary.Perspective taking is an effective but neglected moderator between team members’diffe
