Abstract

We　theorized　and　tested　the　conditions　under　which　cognitive　team　diversity　is　positively　related　to　individual　team　member　creativity.　Hierarchical　linear　modeling　results　using　316　employees　on　68　teams　from　Chinese　companies　indicated　that　a　team　member＇s　creative　self-efficacy　moderated　the　relationship　between　cognitive　team　diversity　and　individual　creativity:　this　relationship　was　positive　only　when　creative　self-efficacy　was　high.　Further,　“transformational　leadership”　moderated　the　relationship　in　such　a　way　that　cognitive　team　diversity　was　positively　related　to　individual　creativity　only　when　transformational　leadership　was　high.
