Introduction
In today’s knowledge-based networked economy the flattening of organizational
structures has accelerated the need for firms to coordinate activities that span
geographic, cultural, temporal, as well as organizational boundaries (Kedia and
Mukherjee, 2009; Purvanova and Bono, 2009). The general shift from production to
service-related businesses and the advancements in communication technologies have
given rise to knowledge-workers who are not bound to physical work locations (Cascio,
2000; Gressgard, 2011; Malhotra et al., 2007). Although the underlying concepts of
team-based work groups remain relatively stable, certain business drivers have started
to alter the nature of teams, as well as the ways they accomplish organizationally
valued outcomes (Morgeson et al., 2010; Rapp et al., 2010). Consequently, virtual teams
(VT) have begun to emerge as a new form of organizational structure, supported by
enabling information and communication technologies, that are able to meet the
challenges of this new work context (Wakefield et al., 2008; Wiesenfeld et al., 2001).
A VT, as defined by Jarvenpaa and Leidner (1999, p. 792), is a “temporary, culturally
diverse, geographically dispersed, electronically communicating work-group of
members who think and act in concert within the diversity of the global environment.”
