Understanding the currency of trust in virtual teams: Dynamic trust experience strategies for achieving high performance

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

This research paper concentrates on the trust dynamics that impact the performance of virtual teams (VTs). The results reveal that trust is one contributory factor in the sphere of VT performance, and that team members receiving negative feedback was a big cause of collective trust being lost. It is also recommended that managers sustain an action-focused high pace of working to provide sufficient energy for the elevated VT performance level they desire.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
