 Theory: Solutions to Foster CooperationThomas Afflerbach ()
Chapter Chapter 3 in Hybrid Virtual Teams in Shared Services Organizations, 2020, pp 51-84 from Springer Abstract: Abstract The cooperative behavior among members of hybrid virtual teams in Shared Services Organizations is at risk due to the contextual challenges related to distance, technology and temporality. As formal control is usually missing in such teams, it becomes a team task to ensure cooperation. Therefore, the solutions to overcome the cooperation problem in such teams need to foster cooperation in a constructive way and they also need to be decentralized or team-based approaches. In respect to that, I identified three solutions for the contextual challenges of hybrid virtual teams in Shared Services Organizations, which I will present in this chapter as sensitizing concepts. Thus, I will (1) outline the selection criteria for the sensitizing concepts of solutions to foster cooperation. Then, I will describe each of the three solutions in more detail, wherefore I will introduce (2) identification, (3) trust and (4) peer monitoring as sensitizing concepts. For each of these three solutions I will depict how and why they foster cooperation in the context of hybrid virtual teams in Shared Services Organizations.
