Abstract Drawing upon categorization-elaboration model (CEM), this study explored how and when team member boundary-spanning differentiation influences team innovation by developing a mediated moderation model. Specifically, the moderating role of team prosocial motivation and the mediating effect of team reflexivity were examined. By employing statistical analysis method (i.e. SPSS) and analyzing the data from 69 groups including 383 members with a multiple-source and time-lagged research design, the present study got the following results. First, team prosocial motivation positively moderates the relationship between team member boundary-spanning differentiation and team reflexivity. Second, team reflexivity affects team innovation positively. Third, team reflexivity mediates the influence of the interaction of team member boundary-spanning differentiation and team prosocial motivation on team innovation.
