DOI: https://doi.org/In Engineering project management, teams are of crucial importance in achieving project goals. Given the recent findings, aside from the technical skills and knowledge of the field, the focus is now on more soft skills, such as the individual’s personality traits, which impact the performance of the team and the team dynamics. This study looks into how distinct individual personality traits impact team formation, task assignment, conflict resolution, and collaboration in engineering projects. It integrates personality assessment theories such as The Big Five and MBTI with the field of project management to emphasize not only the skills, but also the interrelations among the skills, personalities, and roles of the team members. For this study, the researchers observed teams of engineering students and project professionals from a variety of disciplines in different collaborative work contexts. Participants submitted their personality profiles using a self-report questionnaire, and project outcomes were evaluated quantitatively and qualitatively, including a measurement of project success.The research showed that well-balanced team composition, especially teams with a higher degree of Conscientiousness, Openness, and Emotional Stability, promote greater innovation, leadership, and effectiveness in communication. On the contrary, poorly matched personalities are distinguishable by their conflicts and delays. The findings of this study highlight the importance of developing methods based on personality traits in order to optimally configure teams in engineering education and in the workplace. This research focuses on the application of personality datasets and argues that ethical frameworks which acknowledge diversity among individuals are essential, even when striving to galvanize constructive collaboration. One of the planned future works is to design systems powered by AI which would form teams based on personality traits, as well as analyze the long-term impact of personality diversity on creative collaboration. This investigation occupies an embedded and evolving interdisciplinary conversation spanning psychology, education, and engineering.
