This study adopted the survey method to explore the relationship between team diversity and team performance in the financial industry and the moderating effect of team-member exchange on the above-mentioned relationship was also investigated. To meet the purpose of this study, only employees who are required to work in a team in the life insurance companies were recruited as the sample of this study. Through convenience sampling, 150 copies of questionnaires were delivered to 30 teams and 137 valid questionnaires from 28 teams were returned. The valid return rate is 93.33%. Despite the fact that no significant influence of informational diversity and social-category diversity on team performance were observed, the value diversity were significantly negatively correlated with team performance. Specifically, when the value congruence between an employee and the team is high, the team performance tends to be high. The implication of this study is that managers needs to consider value differences between team members when selecting a team member or building a team. Suggestions for future research are indicated based on the results of this study. |
