Abstract: Face-to-face (F2F) teams form and function differently than computer-mediated (virtual) teams. The social processes associated with effective team work are different in F2F and virtual teams. These differences affect the ability of groups of people to successfully form a team that can function effectively. This study found that computer-mediated teams differ significantly from F2F teams along important group style dimensions as measured by the Group Style Inventory (GSI).
