Abstract

Drawing on the team-member exchange theory, we examine the perceived relationship between team absorptive capacity dimensions and team innovation in Indian organisations and the mediating role of team decision-making. It is a current research context mainly studied at the organisational/firm level that is highly relevant for corporate practice but has been neglected in management literature until now. The article developed and tested a moderated mediation model to examine the relationship between absorptive capacity dimensions, team decision-making, team member exchange, and team innovation using data from 65 teams and 263 team members working in diverse Indian organisations. Data were analysed using PROCESS Hayes's macro in SPSS. The findings reveal the impact of external knowledge transformation and exploitation capacity on team innovation only when there is effective team decision-making. However, in the case of acquisition and assimilation of external knowledge, it is not contingent on effective team decision-making.
