The Dimensions and Antecedents of Team Virtuality
重新定义团队虚拟性为成员使用虚拟工具协调和执行任务的程度、工具的信息价值以及互动的同步性,并识别了导致更高虚拟性的关键因素,对管理理论和实践有启示。
Team virtuality is an important factor that is gaining prominence in the literature on teams. Departing from previous research that focused on geographic dispersion, the authors define team virtuality as the extent to which team members use virtual tools to coordinate and execute team processes, the amount of informational value provided by such tools, and the synchronicity of team member virtual interaction. The authors identify the key factors that lead groups to higher levels of team virtuality and the implications of their model for management theory and practice.
