Abstract: Recently,people and organizations have come into a new restructuring process with information technologies. One of these applications is also the opportunity of peop- le to choose the job they want to do in anytime, in any place. Virtual organizations deve- loping in this process have challenged the organizational behavior scholars. Working style which has been done far from each other in different environments and times has re- quired new working conditions and management styles. When there has been no physical environment to do the job, the questions like how people have been managed, which form of a leadership has been required, how performance evaluation, career planning and de- velopment have been done come to the agenda. Organizational behavior scholars have the answers of these questions. The organizations which have chosen the virtual working style must have determined the behaviors and organizational structure and get people to accept these conditions. The aim of this study is to introduce the differences between the emplo- yees of virtual organizations and traditional organizations from the perpective of organi- zational behaviour and also to stress which important tasks are assumed by the organiza- tional behavior scholars in virtual organizations.
