This study explored how perspective replacement (i.e., perspective-taking of other people, metaphor and analogy) and team members’ diversity influence on creative performance through the questionnaire survey of corporate engineers who were engaged in projects regarding new products, technology, business, or process improvement (n=306). Conducting regression analysis that includes other exploration variables, we found that perspective replacement significantly improved team’s creative achievement, but the impact of team members’ diversity was limited. It is confirmed that team members’ diversity indirectly improved team creativity mediated by perspective replacement through mediation analysis.
