The Influence of Team Temporal Leadership on Team Creativity in the Context of Team Polychronicity

Abstract

Abstract: Based on the theory of social information processing, this paper discusses the influence of team temporal leadership on team creativity in the context of team polychronicity. Data are collected from 231 employees in 77 teams. The analysis shows that: (1) team temporal leadership has a positive impact on team creativity by the mediation of team information exchange; (2) team polychronicity moderates the relationship between team temporal leadership and team creativity; (3) team polychronicity moderates the mediation of team information exchange. This study enriches the research of team temporal leadership and team polychronicity, and has both theoretical and practical significance for modern enterprises to seek long-term development in limited time resources.

Key words: team temporal leadership, team polychronicity, team information exchange, team creativity
