Personality in Teams: A Bibliometric Analysis

In today's competitive and fast-changing business world, teamwork can play a critical role in achieving agility and innovation. However, the right team configuration is required to achieve these results. In particular, the personalities of team members should be considered when designing the team. This study examines scientific research on "personality in teams" in the field of business and management through bibliometric analysis. In this context, data and visualizations were obtained from the Web of Science (WoS) database for 204 studies, such as collaboration networks, citation impact, focus topics, etc., which allow to see the general landscape and development trend of the research area. The analyses were not subject to historical restrictions, and all scientific research-oriented studies that addressed the dimension of personality in teams between 1982 and 2025 within the WoS database were analyzed. The results of the analysis showed that the United States of America is a pioneer in this field in terms of quality and quantity, and that institutions in China and the Netherlands have shown serious interest in this topic. The results also showed that there have been significant shifts in research focus and topics over time - from early explorations of team learning, psychological safety, and task automation to research emphasizing the role of personality in supporting creativity, innovation, and overall team performance, to the role of individual personality traits on team dynamics. The results of the study highlighted the growing importance of personality in teams in business and management research and provided suggestions for future research directions.
