Abstract: Balancing the short-term goals of the organization with employees' long-term development is of particular interest to the leaders of offshore outsourcing firms. To better understand this challenge, researchers surveyed 170 virtual team members in 14 IT outsourcing firms in Sri Lanka about the impact of their employers' human resource management (HRM) practices on their performance and career growth. The findings reveal the importance of performance management, capability development, and the integration of various HRM practices in fostering both the teamwork that is crucial to attain business objectives, as well as the professional development essential to meeting employees' expectations regarding their career growth.
