The results of past research are inconsistent, so the relationship between team personality diversity and performance may be affected by the moderator factors. This study investigated the effects of team personality diversity on design performance, and use “team relation-oriented diversity” as moderator. In this research, the variables that measure the team relation-oriented diversity include gender diversity, diversification of birth order, and diversification of family socioeconomic status. And the diversity of personality traits includes five major personalities- neuroticism, conscientiousness, openness to experience, extraversion and agreeableness. The dependent variable, the performance of the design team, was measured by whether the teams advance to the semifinal or not. The sample of this study is based on the “Design Competition” and this research divided into two phases for analysis. The first phase is a quantitative study. Participants are required to fill out the questionnaire when registering online. After sorting the data, there are 319 people grouping into 171 teams, deleting the invalid questionnaire and single participants, there are 148 teams was composed of 296 team members, the valid response rate is 92.7%.
