摘要

Working in teams presents numerous benefits to creative outcomes, yet there is no consensus in academic literature on enhancing creative performance in teams. Our study seeks to bridge this divide by illustrating that through the interpersonal circumplex model (IPC), dyadic teams composed of one member with high agency and another with high communion can achieve more significant creative outputs. Notably, this effect is mediated by informational exchanges between team members rather than by affective elements such as positive or negative emotions. Study 1 found that dyadic teams with complementary interpersonal traits produced higher levels of creative output. Study 2 replicated this effect and demonstrated that openness in informational exchange mediated the relationship. Study 3 further confirmed the primary impact of interpersonal trait complementarity on teams’ creative performance and identified that the uniqueness of informational exchange mediated this dynamic. Collectively, these studies underscore the robustness and replicability of our findings. Additionally, the research employs a relatively novel analytical method, polynomial regression with surface response analysis, which provides a more nuanced examination of our hypotheses.
