Abstract Based on the data from questionnaires on 107 teams and using Hierarchical Linear Modeling(HLM), this study investigates the impact of team members’ goal orientation on individual creativity under cross-level moderating effect of team supervisor’s goal orientation. The results reveal that: ①Team members’ learning goal orientation has a positive impact on creativity; ②Under the circumstance of supervisors’ high-learning goal orientation, team members’ learning goal orientation has an “inversed-U shape” impact on creativity, and performance-approach goal orientation has a positive impact on creativity; ③Under the circumstance of supervisors’ low-learning goal orientation, team members’ learning goal orientation has a positive impact on creativity, and performance-avoidance goal orientation has a negative impact on creativity; ④In the supervisors’ high-performance-approach goal orientation context, team members’ learning goal orientation has a “S shape” impact on creativity, and performance-avoidance goal orientation has a positive impact on creativity; ⑤In the supervisors’ low-performance-approach goal orientation context, team members’ learning goal orientation has a positive impact on creativity, while performance-approach and avoidance goal orientation have a negative impact on creativity respectively.
