| Abstract: | Research and development (R&D) efforts essentially require creativity (here as: cr-ty.) and the R&D work is typically organized in teams. Based on a sample of 51 R&D teams, this study examines the effects of polarity (as: pol-ty.) on team cr-ty., aiming to explore situational conditions when conflict potential is detrimental or facilitating R&D team cr-ty. It is shown that foremost in the conceptualization phase of R&D efforts pol-ty. positively influences the creative performance (as: perf.) of R&D teams, whereas at lower degrees of complexity or later in the development cycle pol-ty. negatively impacts the creative perf. of R&D teams. |
