“…Proposed. In order to test the direct and mediating hypotheses developed previously relating to the relationship of knowledge inertia, intentional unlearning capability, team cognitive conflict, and team creativity, followed by Heredia-Rojas et al [47] and Melovi et al [48], the theoretical structural equation modeling (SEM) is proposed in Figure 2 with exogenous variables (i.e., intentional unlearning capability) represented by ellipse named ξ, endogenous variables (i.e., team creativity) represented by an ellipse named η, observed variables (i.e., items) represented by a rectangle named X and Y, while δ, ε, ω, and ζ represented an error value, λ x and λ y represented a factor loading value, and c and β represented the path coefficient. Followed by Chen and Wang [49], the theoretical SEM model can be descripted as in Note: N � 135.…”
