Abstract

Over the years, team creativity and exploratory innovation capabilities have experienced a decline in the Nigerian manufacturing industry. Therefore, we attempt to bolster the foundations of team creativity by examining and integrating the concept of “creativity willingness” into team creativity dimensions. To advance insights into how team creativity could engender exploratory innovation, we also investigate the predictive powers of creative ideation and leader openness. We find that creativity willingness predicts creative ideation, and creative ideation predicts exploratory innovation. Our findings indicate that while creative ideation mediates the positive predictions of creativity skills and task motivation, it largely complements the predictions of expertise and creativity willingness.
