ABSTRACT

To explore the impact of promotion focus on knowledge creation in team-level, we surveyed 86 teams and results showed that: (1) Team promotion focus positively predicted team knowledge creation. (2) Team felt responsibility for change mediated the relationship between team promotion focus and team knowledge creation. (3) Team openness to cognitive diversity moderated the impact of team felt responsibility for change on team knowledge creation, which meant that the relationship between team felt responsibility for change and team knowledge creation was more pronounced when team openness to cognitive diversity was high than it was low. This study deepened the understanding on team promotion focus, team felt responsibility for change and team knowledge creation.

KEYWORDS
