This competition not only breaks out between enterprises, but also makes employees put more and more involvement in working to survive in workplaces. In other words, as the competition becomes stronger, the trend of workaholism will rise. As a result, researches about workaholism are rising too. However, researches about the consequences of workaholism are almost focus on individual level. Moreover, researches about effects of workaholism on group or organization are relatively less, but some researchers declare that workaholics will influence groups or organizations. To make up this research deficiency, the primary goal of this research is to investigate the effect of workaholism on team based on the group level. In addition, conclusions of past researches that investigate the direct relationship between trust and team performance were not all in coincidence. The reason may be that these researches did not divide trust into different dimensions. To make up the research deficiency, the secondary goal of this research is to divide trust into affect-based and cognition-based dimensions and investigate the effects of these dimensions on team performance. This research used the I-P-O(input-process-output) model as theoretical structure to investigate effects of workaholism on trust, cooperation, and team performance. Besides, this research also investigated the mediating effects on the relationship of trust and cooperation. This research collected a valid sample of 50 teams and conducted a series of hierarchical regression/stepwise regression to test our hypothesis. The main results of this study were: 1. Work enjoyment dimension of workaholism has significantly positive effect on trust. 2. Work enjoyment dimension of workaholism has significantly positive effects both on team communication and team coordination dimensions of cooperation. 3. Work enjoyment dimension of workaholism has significantly positive effect on team performance. 4. Affect-based trust mediates the relationship between work enjoyment and team communication. Besides, affect-based trust mediates the relationship between work enjoyment and team coordination too. 5. Cognition-based trust mediates the relationship between work enjoyment and team performance. 6. Team communication and team coordination mediate the relationship between work enjoyment and team performance. 7. Affect-based trust has significantly positive effect on cooperation. 8. Cognition-based trust has significantly positive effect on team performance. 9. Team communication and team coordination have significantly positive effect on team performance.
