In particular, R&D teams are utilized to develop technologies, improve services, and manage operations. Thus, understanding how teams perform successfully in R&D setting is the foci of this study. Psychological safety explains team performance in situations requiring personally non-risky and supportive climate. Therefore, this study analyzed psychological safety in team performance with the mediated effect of team learning and knowledge integration in technology R&D teams. Our research model is assessed using data from a sample of 110 members within 60 technology R&D teams of the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) and is analyzed using partial least squares (PLS) method. The results of this study indicate: (1) Team learning mediates the relationship between psychological safety and team performance；(2) Knowledge integration mediates the relationship between psychological safety and team performance；(3) Team learning has an effect on knowledge integration. This study also discusses implications for the technology R&D teams based on the results of this study.
