We Are Virtually All on the Same Team: The Effectiveness of Self-Managed Virtual Teams

چکیده
This paper explores the relationship between member satisfaction and effectiveness of virtual, self managed teams. Specifically, this paper studies the various perceptions of eight virtual team members. The study reveals eight major themes for how team members evaluate themselves and will provide a basis to evaluate the relationship between these factors and the effectiveness of the self managed team. While team members on the whole expressed a high degree of satisfaction, there was no conclusive evidence that this is related to the team being more or less effective.
