Research data for " Across the great divides: Gender dynamics influence how intercultural conflict helps or hurts creative collaboration"

This is the related research data for "Across the Great Divides: Gender Dynamics Influence How Intercultural Conflict Helps or Hurts Creative Collaboration", published in Academy of Management Journal, Vol. 63, No. 3 in 2020. <br> Collaborating across cultures can potentially increase creativity owing to access to diverse ideas and perspectives, but this benefit is not always realized. One reason for this is that the conflict that arises in intercultural creative collaboration is a double-edged sword, and so how it is managed matters. In this research, we examine how the gender of collaborating dyads influences the link between intercultural conflict (task and relationship) and creative collaboration effectiveness. Through two studies (a laboratory study and a field survey), we found that intercultural task conflict has a negative effect on creative collaboration in men dyads but a positive effect on creative collaboration in women dyads. Conversely, intercultural relationship conflict has a negative impact on creative collaboration in general, but this effect is stronger for women dyads than for men dyads. These effects can be traced to how men versus women dyads handled intercultural conflict. There is also evidence that information elaboration (exchange, discussion, and integration of task-relevant information and ideas) mediates the effects of dyad gender and intercultural conflict on creative collaboration. These findings extend current understanding of when and how intercultural collaborations can result in creativity benefits from a gender and conflict management perspective.

本数据集对应发表于2020年《美国管理学会学报（Academy of Management Journal）》第63卷第3期的研究论文《跨越鸿沟：性别动态影响跨文化冲突如何助力或损害创意协作（Across the Great Divides: Gender Dynamics Influence How Intercultural Conflict Helps or Hurts Creative Collaboration）》的相关研究数据。跨文化协作可通过获取多元观点与创意提升创造力，但该收益并非总能实现。究其根源，跨文化创意协作中产生的冲突实为一把双刃剑，其管理方式至关重要。本研究旨在探讨协作二元组的性别特征如何调节跨文化冲突（任务冲突与关系冲突）与创意协作效能之间的关联。通过两项研究（一项实验室实验与一项实地调研），本研究发现：跨文化任务冲突对男性二元组的创意协作产生负向影响，却对女性二元组的创意协作具有正向作用。反之，跨文化关系冲突整体上对创意协作产生负面影响，且该负面影响在女性二元组中较男性二元组更为显著。上述效应可归因于男女二元组处理跨文化冲突的方式差异。另有证据表明，信息精细化（即任务相关信息与创意的交换、讨论与整合）在二元组性别、跨文化冲突与创意协作效能的关联中起到中介作用。本研究从性别与冲突管理的视角，拓展了现有关于跨文化协作何时以及如何能够带来创意收益的认知。
