Shared Leadership and Team Creativity: A Social Network Analysis in Engineering Design Teams

This research explores the relationship between shared leadership and creativity in engineering design teams. To do this, a social network perspective was adopted using four measures to assess key elements of shared leadership networks. These are (a) network density, (b) centralization, (c) efficien...

To do this, a social network perspective was adopted using four measures to assess key elements of shared leadership networks.

Our results support previous findings that the density of a shared leadership network is positively related to team creativity.
