It found that to some extent, the interactiverelationship among capability of challenging resiliency, beinginterested in work, addition by others, informational feedback andteam creativity played modulative role in the direct impact of teamsize, types and communicative ways on them.(2) Based on Fitting Theory and Topological Psychology, itexplored the impact of Supplies-Values Fit on team creativity. Theresults showed that existing organizational creative climate hadsignificant effect on team creativity while the expectation oforganizational creative climate and its interactive effect withexisting organizational creative climate failed to reach significantlevel. It indicated that the consistence of psychological state andsurrounding environment was beneficial for the development ofteam creativity. On the contrary, team members would yield tosurrounding environment and were not willing to show theircreativity and thus hindered the development of team creativity.(3) Based on the S-C-R Model in cognitive psychology whichaims at opening the“black box”between stimulation and response,this paper explored how outside climate exert its effect on teamcreativity through influencing internal psychological process. Step-regression proposed by Baron & Kenny(1986) and Bootstrapwere adopted in this paper and the influencing mechanism ofexisting organizational creative climate on team creativity waspresented. The results were as follows. First and foremost,externalmotivation exerted somewhat mediating influence when climateplayed a part in team creativity.In addition, challenge competencein internal motivation exerted somewhat mediating influence whenclimate played a part in team creativity. Last but not least, externalmotivation, by means of transformation into internal motivation,exerted somewhat mediating impact when climate played a part inteam creativity.
