다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Creativity management has remained one of hot issues in the realm of management studies. However, previous studies about creativity were divided into several kinds of approaches such as personal traits, network approach, etc. Creativity can be described as an individual creativity. team creativity, and organizational creativity in the context of organization. Since individuals are working under a team, and organizational creativity is a result of team creativity, team creativity has been at the center of debates regarding how to improve corporate performance. Though many approaches were proposed to tackle the team creativity research issues, this study adopts a network structure approach which assumes that the network structure formulated by interrelationships among team members decide individuals` position in the complicated network, and their performance due to varying quality of information flow and information diversity. Typical examples of network structure under consideration in this study are degree centrality and structural hole Research framework proposed in this study is composed of hypotheses saying that (1) diversity of individual knowledge will be in a positive relationship with team creativity. (2) degree centrality implying how much individuals take central position at the network will affect team creativity positively, and (3) structural hole will have a positive influence on team creativity. Structural holes in social structure are buffers like an insulator in an electric circuit. The structural hole between two groups does not mean that people in the groups are unaware of one another It only means that the people are focused on their own activities such that they do not attend to the activities of people in the other group In other words! structural holes are an opportunity to broker the flow of information between people, and control the projects that bring together people from opposite sides of the hole. To prove the validity of the research hypotheses, we adopted ABM (agent-based modeling) simulation rather than questionnaire survey method because we want to investigate the long-term patterns of team creativity in response to individual knowledge (diversity), degree centrality. and structural hole- For the sake of ABM experiments. Netlogo language was used to build up a prototype named ABCS (Agent-Based Creativity Simulator). Simulation results from ABCS revealed that team creativity shows en inverted-U pattern as time dimension is expanded in the long run. Especially, in the long run view, network structures such as degree centrality and structural hole have more impact en team creativity than individual knowledge itself.
