Abstract

Recent research suggests that there are two distinct behavioural components of leadership: 1) those targeted at influencing the group as a whole (group-focused); and 2) those aimed at individual group members (individual-focused). Differentiated individual-focused leadership occurs when leader exhibits varying levels of individual-focused leadership behaviour across different group members. This research examines the unique influences of group-focused empowering leadership and differentiated individual-focused empowering leadership on RandD team’s processes and team effectiveness. Using data from 54 RandD teams, we found that group-focused empowering leadership is strongly related to intra-team collaboration, which in turn substantially benefits both team creativity and performance. Differentiated individual-focused empowering leadership, however, leads to intra-team competition, which is harmful to team creativity.
