- Abstract
Empowering leadership in R& D teams has gained increasing popularity as it provides a balance between autonomy and control, encourages member participation and self-leadership, and benefits creativity and innovation. This research examined the unique influences of two behavior components of empowering leadership: group-focused empowering leadership and differentiated individual-focused empowering leadership on R& D team's processes and team effectiveness. Using data from 54 R& D teams, we found that group-focused empowering leadership is strongly related to intra-team collaboration, which in turn is positively related to both team innovativeness and performance. Differentiated individual-focused empowering leadership, however, is positively related to intra-team competition.
