講座摘要:

       We view knowledge-worker teams as open systems directly affected by the changes in the external environment. Drawing on the strategic contingency perspective of power, we propose and demonstrate that knowledge-worker teams need to engage intwo team processes—de-dependence on established team experts and new knowledge acquisition—to achieve high innovation performance when facing a turbulent technological environment. We conducted two field studies to test our hypotheses. Study 1 had a multi-source, multi-wave design involving 109 new product development teams in technology-intensive industries, and Study 2 had amulti-source, cross-lagged panel design involving 65 new product development teams in the information technology industry. Results based on the two field studies provide considerable support for our central hypotheses, i.e., the two team processes mediated the relationship between team perception of technological turbulence and team innovation performance. Moreover, team autonomy enhanced the two positive mediated relationships. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of our findings on how and when knowledge-worker teams can reap the innovative benefits from environmental technological turbulence.
