Based on a relativistic quark model approach, the transition properties of the first nucleon resonance △(1232), and the coupling constants gπNN, g△πN are investigated. Tvo different vays to remove the center of mass motion are considered. The results of the relativistic approaches with and without center ofmass correction are compared with those of nonrelativistic constituent quark model. Moreover, pion meson cloud effect on these calculated observables is explicitly addressed. Better results are obtained by taking the pion meson cloud into account.
