讲座摘要：Based on a literature review of Chinese traditional philosophies and social science research on social harmony as well as content analyses of the views of Chinese managers we formulated a construct of group harmony, developed a measure, and tested its validity in two studies on 167 top management groups from China. Study 1 demonstrated convergent and discriminant validity of group harmony against well established constructs of group cohesiveness, relationship conflict, and conflict avoidance. Study 2 tested the effects of group harmony and found that, as hypothesized, group harmony enhanced group innovative performance through increasing knowledge sharing among group members. However, instead of motivating innovative performance through fostering moderate levels of task conflict, group harmony enhanced innovative performance through reducing task conflict on one hand and neutralizing the negative effect of task conflict on the other. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
