Author (s)

Abstract

This study examines the influence of team psychological capital and knowledge collaboration on collaborative innovation performance within scientific research teams in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) enterprises. Grounded in social contagion and synergy theories, this research develops a framework to explore how psychological capital impacts innovation outcomes, both directly and through knowledge collaboration. A mixed-methods approach was used, incorporating a structured questionnaire distributed to research teams, with data analyzed via regression and mediation analysis. The key findings reveal that: team psychological capital positively influences collaborative innovation performance; psychological capital significantly enhances team knowledge collaboration; knowledge collaboration directly boosts innovation performance; and knowledge collaboration mediates the relationship between psychological capital and innovation performance. These results highlight the importance of cultivating positive psychological resources and fostering collaborative behaviors to enhance innovation. This study contributes to the literature by extending the understanding of psychological capital and knowledge synergy to the team level, while offering practical implications for improving team dynamics and fostering innovation in TCM enterprises. Future research may explore these relationships in other organizational contexts or industries to further validate the findings.

Key words: Team Psychological Capital; Knowledge Collaboration; Collaborative Innovation Performance; Traditional Chinese Medicine Enterprises; Social Contagion Theory; Synergy Theory.
