Abstract：Based on the contingent perspective of interaction within teams, the theoretical model is constructed to explore the inverted U-shaped effect of status conflict asymmetry on team creativity. The related field test was implemented with the valid data collected from 103 employees of 484 teams. The results show that status conflict asymmetry has an inverted U-shaped effect called “Too-much-of-a-good” on team creativity. Task complexity and task interdependence both play moderating roles in the above relationship. Specifically, when task complexity is higher, the inflection point of the inverted U-shaped effect of status conflict asymmetry on team creativity is in the team structure where there are more members with high status conflict perception, and is higher. When task interdependence is higher, the inflection point of the inverted U-shaped effect of status conflict asymmetry on team creativity is in the team structure where there are less members with high status conflict perception, and is higher.
