The aim of the paper is to study the links between positive relationships at work and innovations in order to categorize innovative teams. Primarily, an innovative organizational climate is discussed as an antecedent of company innovativeness. Secondly, positive relationships at work are defined and their role for innovations is studied. Thirdly, the empirical data on interpersonal relationships within innovative teams and their orientation to various types of innovations are analysed. The outcome of this analysis is the typology of teams creating innovations focused on two criteria: positive relationships within a team and emotional distance. Positive relationships among employees seem to stimulate the creation of innovations, while emotional distance hamper this pro-innovative attitude. The typology includes three categories of innovative teams: "hierarchized labourers", "organization-supporting team players" and "pro-developmental individualists". (original abstract)
