In addition, polynomial regressions and response surface method were adopted to test the hypotheses.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Findings<\/jats:title>The more congruent the marking behavior and defensive behavior were, the higher the creative idea generation and idea implementation became. The congruence of \u201chigh marking high defensive behavior\u201d was more conducive to triggering creative idea generation and promoting idea implementation. Compared with the incongruence of \u201clow marking high defensive behavior,\u201d the incongruence of \u201chigh marking low defensive behavior\u201d was more conducive to stimulating creative idea generation. However, there was no significant difference in the incongruence effect of marking defensive behavior on idea implementation. In addition, creative idea generation mediated the relationship between knowledge territorial behavior congruence and idea implementation. Furthermore, team territorial climate moderated the relationship between knowledge territorial behavior congruence and creative idea generation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Originality\/value<\/jats:title>The study highlights the theoretical research of territoriality and innovation process. By deconstructing the relationship between the territorial behavior congruence and the innovation process, this study establishes that the congruence and incongruence of the marking defensive behavior
