Chapter Chapter 7 in Hybrid Virtual Teams in Shared Services Organizations, 2020, pp 181-203 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The purpose of the study presented in this book is to provide theoretical and practical insights about the contextual challenges, which members of hybrid virtual teams in Shared Services Organizations experience, how they use strategies and practices of identity constructing, trusting and virtual peer monitoring to overcome the cooperation problem and how technology may support or hamper the team members’ use of those three strategies and the respective practices. In this chapter, I will discuss (1) the sociomaterial impact, which technology may have on the deployment of the strategies and respective practices to foster cooperation by comparing the media capabilities of the available technology at GlobalMobility and GlobalTech. Further, I derive (2) theoretical implications from the findings, (3) practical implications to capture the expressions of the contextual challenges and practices to overcome potential cooperation problems within teams and (4) empirical implications, limitations and directions for future research.
