This paper focuses on the team contextual characteristics that may support or hinder individuals’ exploration of a new technology. By adopting a multi-level framework we show how team-level and individual-level attributes influences individual exploratory behaviors. Moreover, we show how team level and individual characteristics interact in shaping individual exploration. Our paper offers directions for future research and insights for managers supporting them to design teams that are going to adopt a new system.
