Identification in Face-to-Face, Hybrid, and Pure Virtual Teams: Untangling the Contradictions
梳理了面对面、混合和纯虚拟团队中认同感形成的机制与调节过程，解释了不同情境下认同发展的差异，帮助理解虚拟团队如何维持凝聚力。
Identification is a person's sense of belonging with a social category. Identification in virtual organizational teams is thought to be especially desirable because it provides the glue that can promote group cohesion despite the relative lack of face-to-face interaction. Though research on virtual teams is exploding, it has not systematically identified the antecedents or moderators of the process by which identification develops, leaving a number of gaps and apparent contradictions. The purpose of this paper is to begin to untangle the contradictions and address some of the gaps by tracing the mechanisms and moderating processes through which identification develops in hybrid and pure virtual settings, and the ways that these processes differ from face-to-face settings.
