Abstract
This study examines the role of team sensemaking as an intermediary factor for the link of social environmental factors with team creativity. The findings of the study suggest that cognitive diversity and team autonomy have a positive relationship with team sensemaking and team sensemaking has a positive impact on team creativity. Further, autonomy and cognitive diversity are indirectly related to team creativity through team sensemaking. The results suggest that managers in knowledge-intensive industries should promote cognitive diversity and autonomy to develop team sensemaking, which in turn may stimulate creativity.
期刊介绍:
IIMB Management Review (IMR) is a quarterly journal brought out by the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore. Addressed to management practitioners, researchers and academics, IMR aims to engage rigorously with practices, concepts and ideas in the field of management, with an emphasis on providing managerial insights, in a reader friendly format. To this end IMR invites manuscripts that provide novel managerial insights in any of the core business functions. The manuscript should be rigorous, that is, the findings should be supported by either empirical data or a well-justified theoretical model, and well written. While these two requirements are necessary for acceptance, they do not guarantee acceptance. The sole criterion for publication is contribution to the extant management literature.Although all manuscripts are welcome, our special emphasis is on papers that focus on emerging economies throughout the world. Such papers may either improve our understanding of markets in such economies through novel analyses or build models by taking into account the special characteristics of such economies to provide guidance to managers.
