Details The purpose of the study is to explore the synergy effect between the diversity and firms’ mission of the NPDPJ teams on project performance, drawing on status characteristics theory and the approaches to recognizing and utilizing members’ heterogeneous expertise. To test research hypotheses, we used hierarchical regression analysis based on survey data from 46 manufacturing industry companies of the TSEM (Tokyo Stock Exchange Market) First Section presentation in Japan. The results show that the level of diversity increases project performance only when the firm’s mission is well-permeated. Our exploratory study makes the following theoretical contribution to the mission field and NPDPJ diversity. By examining the synergy effect between the level of permeated firm’s mission in the NPDPJ group and diversity, and their effects, we confirmed that permeated firm’s mission is a core factor stimulating a positive effect of diversity among members.
