Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the ways to enhance the creativity of R & D teams of government-funded research institutes through systematic empirical studies. For this purpose, a research model was established based on existing research on group creativity and verified through empirical studies. Specifically, This study first attempts to investigate the influence that team diversity, team cohesion, team autonomy and team efficacy have on team creativity. Second, it intends to verify the mediating effects of team efficacy between team characteristics and team creativity. An empirical study was conducted on 102 R & D teams of government-funded research institutes. In the team creativity measurement, the evaluation by the leaders and the self evaluation of the members were performed in parallel. This is to increase the accuracy of the evaluation and to compare the differences of the viewpoints of the two subjects. The result of the analysis demonstrated that team cohesion among the others had a positive influence on team creativity, and that team efficacy possessed certain positive qualities in mediating the relationship between team diversity, team autonomy, and team creativity. Based on these findings, this study discussed its academic implications as well as its practical limitations, and made suggestions on future research tasks that remain.

본 연구는 정부출연연구기관의 연구개발팀 창의성을 제고할 수 있는 방안을 체계적인 실증연구를 통해 규명하려는 연구이다. 이를 위해 집단창의성에 대한 기존연구에 기초하여 연구모형을 설정하고 이를 실증연구를 통해 검증하였다. 구체적으로, 첫째, 팀의 특성, 팀 효능 감의 팀 창의성에 대한 영향관계를 규명하고, 둘째, 팀 특성과 팀 창의성간에 있어 팀 효능 감의 매개효과를 검증한다. 실증연구는 정부출연연구기관의 102개 연구개발팀을 대상으로 하였다. 팀 창의성 측정에 있어서는 부서장에 의한 평가와 구성원 자체 평가를 병행하는 방법을 택하였다. 이는 평가의 정확성을 높임과 동시에 두 주체의 관점의 차이를 비교하기 위해서이다. 분석결과 팀 특성 중 응집성이 팀 창의성과 정적 관련성이 있었고, 팀 효능감은 팀 다양성, 팀 자율성과 팀 창의성의 관계에서 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 토대로 본 연구의 시사점과 제한점 추후 연구과제에 대해여 논의 하였다.
