This informative article plans to scrutinize an emerging and prominent form of work team in organizations: the spontaneous virtual team (SVT). Even with the benefits that were promising an SVT can supply, it is confronted with great challenges throughout its lifecycle. In this informative article, we emphasize the unique structure and features of SVTs as compared to other normal forms of work teams.
Moreover, we decompose the lifecycle of an SVT into three periods. We subsequently use interview data among participants and SVT supervisors across several businesses to assess corresponding solutions, the challenges, and also the function of communication and info technologies in every one of the three stages. Understanding the emerging SVTs will be of worth that was outstanding to professionals and corporate executives that are interested in finding effective technology-empowered work routines and means to enhance organizational work performance. On exploring the SVT occurrence, the present work can also function as a basis for future academic research.
