A Person-Environment Fit Model for Virtual Organizations
研究了在虚拟组织中影响个人有效性的因素，基于时间、空间、文化和组织分散四个维度，构建了个人-环境匹配模型，识别了适应虚拟组织所需的个人特质。
While the increasing sophistication of information technology has led to the spread of virtual organizations, there has been very little research on what factors contribute to individuals’ effectiveness in such organizations. This paper argues that organizations possess different degrees of virtuality based on four dimensions of temporal, spatial, cultural, and organizational dispersion. Using a person-environment fit framework, a theoretical model that identifies individual qualities required to fit into virtual organizations, virtual teams, and virtual jobs is developed, taking into account dimensions and degrees of virtuality. Mechanisms for enhancing fit in virtual organizations as well as theoretical and practical implications of the model are addressed.
