Abstract: Team counts as the most important innovative unit in an organization. Most previous studies, while investigating such macroscopic elements as strategies that influence innovation, are relatively found inadequate for stressing micro-factors related to “humans”. This project starts from the “implicit theory of cognition, and by applying methods of follow-up questionnaires and QCA, launches a series of inquiries into the relation between team growth mindsets and team innovation. Its main agenda includes: (1) based on the coordinative nature of team, to develop a localized rating scale for team growth mindsets that distinguishes itself from aggregated individual mindset; (2) based on the perspective of “team process”, to examine the mediating effect of attention composition between team growth mindsets and the radical/incremental team innovations; (3) to discuss the moderating effect on ambidextrous organizational culture and teamwork quality, and to examine the “expression moderation” and the “process moderation” of team growth mindsets in an organizational context; (4) to employ the perspective of “attention configuration” to examine the potential effect of “double-edged sword”, produced by four types of attention configuration, on team innovation; (5) to examine the role played by team growth mindsets in the relation between attention configuration and the radical/incremental team innovations, and to further verify the concept’s implication and function. The theoretical significance of this project lies in the turn that brings the study of attention to the antecedent mechanism. Besides, the "paradox" relationship between attention configuration and innovation together with the function that team growth mindsets produce therein provide reliable practical significance for team innovation.
