二十一世紀是急速變化的時代，科技突飛猛進，資訊網路四通八達，伴隨而來的便是全球化的激烈競爭。在激烈競爭的境境下，企業維持其競爭優勢的重要條件之一，便是要不斷追求突破與成長；因此，如何能夠持續提升團隊創新動能便成為現今社會不容忽視的課題。
台灣被譽為半導體王國，2017年半導體產業年產值突破4000億美元，從業人員已達23萬人，其中晶圓代工產值為世界排名第一，市佔率高達全球70%。而半導體產業所面臨的挑戰與團隊創新動能息息相關，其創新更是涉及跨領域的先進技術，是故，研發與工程團隊皆必須將創新效能做到最大的聚合與發揮。然而，團隊成員的組成是否會影響到團隊創新效能？又團隊資訊交換的行為在其中又扮演著什麼樣的角色？本文將以團隊成員多樣性與團隊成員人格特質為基礎，以探討團隊創新之來源，同時並研究團隊成員多樣性、團隊成員人格特質與團隊資訊交換影響團隊創新的內在歷程。
本研究主要以臺灣半導體產業為研究對象，研究問卷分為A、B兩式，總計發放75組成套問卷，回收有效樣本64組，有效樣本回收率為85%。實驗分析主要使用層級迴歸分析進行研究假設之驗證。經由實證分析後結果如下：
(一)團隊成員人格特質對團隊創新具有正向影響。
(二)團隊成員人格特質對於團隊成員多樣性和團隊創新之關聯性具有調節效果。
(三)團隊成員人格特質對團隊資訊交換具有正向影響。
(四)團隊資訊交換對團隊創新具有正向影響。
(五)團隊資訊交換在團隊成員人格特質對團隊創新間具有中介效果。
本研究主要貢獻包含：驗證團隊成員人格特質存在之調節效果；探討團隊成員人格特質、團隊資訊交換與與團隊創新之關聯性，以及團隊資訊交換之中介效果。
