摘要：This study developed a complementary perspective in how team identification and individual differentiation interact to influence performance in R&D teams under a social capital condition. Using a sample of 151 R&D teams in technology-oriented companies in China, the authors examined the interactive effects of team identification, individual differentiation and the three dimensions of social capital (structural, cognitive and relational capital) on two aspects of performance: innovation and constraint adherence in research and development (R&D) teams. The results showed that both innovativeness and constraint adherence of R&D teams were highest when team members strongly identified with their work team and with themselves under a high level of structural capital; whereas constraint adherence of R&D teams was highest when team members strongly identified with their work team and with themselves under a high level of cognitive or relational capital. Theoretical implications and suggestions for managers in R&D team settings are also discussed.
