“…In contrast to these findings, Ratzmann et al (2018) found that the direct impact of TC on a generalized measure of team performance is not statistically significant, but that the indirect impact of TC on team performance through task discourse is significantly positive. Ratzmann et al (2018) propose that task discourse functions as a mediator between TC and team performance by functioning as a mechanism for team members to challenge the innovation potential of ideas and to refine their ideas. Bonner et al (2002) took a different approach, positioning TC (operationalized as product innovativeness) as a moderator of project performance.…”

“…2.6.1 The impact of team creativity on communication. As mentioned previously, Ratzmann et al (2018) positioned task discourse as a mediator between TC and performance and found that TC had a significant indirect positive impact on performance through task discourse.

“…Given Somech and Drach-Zahavy's ( 2013) finding that TC results in the implementation of innovation only under specific circumstances, and Ratzmann et al's (2018) conclusion that TC does not necessarily result in innovation, it is evident that the very limited knowledge on the mediators and moderators that impact the relationship between TC and innovation represents an important gap in the body of knowledge on TC. Furthermore, with the exception of Ratzmann et al (2018) and Yoon et al (2010), none of the studies that investigate the impact of TC on team performance consider the role of potential moderators or mediators of the relationship. This lack of knowledge on the nature of the relationship between TC and team performance represents another important gap in the body of knowledge on TC.…”

Purpose Limited research where team creativity (TC) is positioned as an independent variable constitutes a weak point in the body of knowledge. This paper aims to offer three contributions to address this research gap: empirical research that has been conducted on the outcomes of TC is summarized; a person–environment fit perspective is applied to develop a conceptual model for TC; and directions for future empirical research are proposed. Design/methodology/approach A literature review is conducted to identify empirical research on the outcomes of TC. This is summarized into an extension of an existing framework that organizes empirical research on the antecedents of TC. Furthermore, the fit model for TC is developed, based on a person–environment fit perspective. Findings Research on the outcomes of TC has focused on three themes: performance; affective state; and processes. Gaps in this body of knowledge include limited knowledge on performance outcomes and a lack of research on potential negative outcomes. Recommendations for future research include: potential moderators of the relationship between TC and two outcome, innovation and team performance, are proposed; strain and unethical decision-making are proposed as potential negative outcomes of TC; and it is proposed that incorporating a temporal dimension would improve the understanding of the cyclical manner in which certain variables and TC may interact over time. Originality/value The organizing framework extension summarizes existing knowledge on the outcomes of TC, and together with the fit model for TC, this offers a basis for identifying research gaps and directions for future research. Specific directions for future empirical research are proposed.

“…Especially, the open and autonomous interaction among users of coworking spaces brings internal contradictions on the level of the users. Actors might start with some informal conversations, then extend this to information and knowledge change, helping each other, working for each other and then moving into joint work-, team-, project-, and firm-relationship Ratzmann et al 2018). Yet some status and power relations might come into play (Clauss and Bouncken 2019).…”

Entrepreneurship of an institutional field: the emergence of coworking spaces for digital business models

2020

Coworking spaces have been proliferating world-wide in urban and rural areas while facilitating entrepreneurship and new, especially digital business models. Our research analyzes the worldwide expansion by drawing upon mechanisms from institutional theory. We argue that the sense of community, emotional activation, the local communities together with the digital linkages and the open office allowed coworking spaces to evolve as a real space for entrepreneurship. The common lifestyle and the high digital identity of the users further explain the emergence of this entrepreneurship field that shows high convergent forms of coworking spaces. The key divergence comes with different ownership models.

“…Following the example of Mainemelis (2010) and Ratzmann et al (2018), the final restriction for inclusion in the sample was that the team must feel constrained for resources. The need for bricolage arises when the resources the organization provides for the elaboration of new ideas are not sufficient.…”

PurposeThe contemporary organizational environment calls for work team members to be more resilient in the face of likely setbacks, which are routinely experienced at the workplace. In two separate studies of work teams, we examine the impact of team sensemaking on team bricolage and subsequently, on team resilience. These studies further investigate whether task interdependence moderates the mediation of team bricolage for the relationship between team sensemaking and team resilience. In brief, these two studies conceptualize and test the relevance of team sensemaking, team bricolage and task interdependence for team resilience.Design/methodology/approachA sample of 213 team members participated in the self-administered survey for Study 1. For Study 2, a second sample collected from 81 teams, elicited team-level data by consensus among team members.FindingsFindings show that team sensemaking as an antecedent has a significant and positive impact on team resilience. The results also show how and when the relationship between team sensemaking and team resilience is facilitated through an underlying mechanism of team bricolage in the presence of task interdependence among team members. This research improves the understanding about the relationship between team sensemaking and team resilience by examining the underlying mechanism and boundary condition under which the relationship is the strongest.Practical implicationsThese findings have important implications for human resource managers. In face of adverse events, team sensemaking plays a pivotal role as it can enable team members to have better situational awareness, communication and reflection. Team sensemaking can be further facilitated for improved team resilience by embedding bricolage and task interdependence components in the employee orientation, job description and training of potential and current employees.Originality/valueThese findings demonstrate that in the wake of adverse events, team sensemaking can play a pivotal role as it enables team members to have better situational awareness, communication and reflection. For team resilience, the findings imply that team sensemaking can be further facilitated by team bricolage in the presence of task interdependence in work teams. Thus, managers of modern work teams and organizations can sensitize team members about these aspects through employee orientation, job description and on and off job training activities.
