Abstract

This study examines how and to what extend social and technological factors promote shared leadership that lead to team innovation in knowledge work teams? It hypothesizes that a transactive memory system influence team innovation and shared leadership conduits the relationship between them. Additionally, the relationship effectiveness between the transactive memory system and shared leadership increases with the use of social media by team members. We used time-lagged data from two sources to support our hypotheses. The results reveal that transactive memory system is a significant predictor of team innovation and the shared leadership channels the relationship between transactive memory system and team innovation. Furthermore, use of social media by team members amplifies the relationship between transactive memory system and shared leadership. This study makes novel contributions to team innovation research by integrating the adaptive structuration theory and share leadership literature. We discussed the theoretical and practical implication of the study.
