Abstract

Enabled by advances in information and communication technologies, virtual team has been serving as an effective form to unite knowledge workers beyond various physical and social constraints for more than one decade. Nevertheless, some organizations recently started to question the effectiveness of virtual team. Scholars also argued that virtual team members remain embedded in their situated surroundings and configuration of virtual team members situating in different workplaces would be even more complicated. This study intends to solve this emerging puzzle that is not yet considered in prior work. We draw on literatures of physical workplaces and virtual team creativity and propose a research model to investigate the influence of workplace configuration on virtual team creativity and the influential mechanism of interaction balance among virtual team members. A laboratory experiment is designed to test the proposed research model and hypotheses. We discuss the potential theoretical contributions and practical implications in the end.
