The relationship between team identification and expertise identification in the R & D context and the mechanism by which these variables influence R & D creativity is not yet clear. We present and empirically test a theoretical framework proposing that knowledge sharing mediates the relationship between identification and creativity in R & D teams. Based on 120 paired‐sample survey data of 30 R & D teams, we show that knowledge sharing mediates the relationship between team identification (but not expertise identification) and R & D team members' creativity. Contributions to the literature and the practice of innovation and R & D management, knowledge and creativity management, and team management are discussed.
