Organizations today rely heavily on a geographically dispersed workforce to compete in the global economy. They establish teams that offer the greatest functional expertise from around the world coupled with deep, local knowledge of the most exciting areas. Despite virtual teams’ growing prevalence, relatively little is known about this new form of work team, particularly in most developing nations. The objective of the paper is to identify the antecedents of virtual team performance and critically examine the literature to filter the advantages and pitfalls of virtual teams. For this purpose, we conducted a search in Google Scholar with the keywords ‘virtual team performance’ and ‘determinants of virtual teams performance’. Given the ease with which the technological infrastructure required to support virtual teams is now available, more research into th...

The concept of working in virtual teams was in existence in the developed part of the globe since 1960s. In developing economies, it emerged in the recent decades and gained impetus during the ongoing pandemic. This paper aims to propose examining the relationship between team cohesion and virtual team performance with the help of meta-analysis. Design/methodology/approach On published research, combined random effect meta-analysis and moderator analysis were done with the aid of Meta-essential 1.5 software. The preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses was designed for systematic meta-analysis. Findings The meta-analysis shows significant effect of cohesion on virtual team performance (r = 0.40, p < 0.000). Study outcomes indicate a positive relationship between team cohesion and virtual team performance. High heterogeneity was found and moderator analysis was perform...

Globalization of markets and relaxation of trade barriers furthered the free entry of multinational corporations, providing consumers with an ever-expanding variety of foreign product choices. The focus on conventional elements, like price and quality, is not enough to generate ample revenues for firms. Literature suggests that consumers are guided by patriotic feelings that pitch an ethical virtue to accentuate positive side of their own country’s products while undermining the foreign products, to patronize domestic industry and to support workers by buying domestic products. The present paper spells out the concept and nature of consumer ethnocentric tendencies; and highlights the antecedents of consumer ethnocentrism. The study presents a comprehensive structure in elaborate summary tables that provides a holistic view of...
