Abstract
Team performance as the foundation of organization in dealing with the complexity of the work and increasing the its competitiveness. Literature have shown that team psychological safety is an important predictor of team performance. This study use Trait Activation Theory to develop and present a model that aims to find the interaction between personality, team psychological safety and team performance. Regarding personality framework, this study uses the perspective of The Five-Factor Model. The results suggest that: First, the indirect effects of Conscientiousness personality on team performance will be stronger in (a) work that requires freedom and (b) work with high attention/detail requirements. Second, the indirect effects of extraversion personality on Team performance will be stronger in (a) jobs that require high social skills, (b) jobs with a high level of competition requirements, and (c) work where someone must often deal with unpleasant responses. Third, the indirect effect of openness personality on team performance will be stronger in (a) work that requires freedom and (b) work with high requirements of creativity.

Summary
Psychological safety is a concept that continues to evolve and become a concern of researchers over the past two decades. This study agrees with the results of the study of Judge and Zapata (2015) which states that work with a high level of competition requirements can activate the extraversion personality. Extraversion personality will be activated in the context of work situations with a high level of competition requirements, so that this condition will make the individual extraversion feel psychologically safety. It can be proposed that: Proposition 2: Team Psychological Safety will mediate the moderating effect (a) work that requires high social skills, (b) work with a high level of competition requirements, and (c) work where a person must often deal with unpleasant responses on the relationship of extraversion personality and Team performance. The indirect effects of openness personality on Team performance will be stronger in (a) work that requires freedom and (b) work with high innovation requirements
