| Abstrak/Abstract |
The relationship between employees is currently undergoing quite significant
changes. Initially, relationships were formed through direct interaction in
traditional teams. However, in recent decades, relationships have not only
occurred directly but can also occur because technology and networks, such as
virtual teams, mediate them. The change from traditional teams to virtual teams
results in changes in relationship dynamics. With this change, the question
asked in this study is, how are group dynamics formed in virtual teams?
Through this question, the purpose of the study was identified, namely, to
develop a theory of virtual team group dynamics in startup companies. The
research method used is qualitative, with an inductive thematic analysis
approach. Data collection was carried out using in-depth interviews and
observations. Participants numbered 18 people from 17 digital startup
companies. Solution-oriented virtual teams offer outputs from positive
relationship outcomes, such as achieving work targets effectively, on time, and
efficiently. This study found the dynamics of virtual team groups in startups in
a society with a collectivist culture that emphasizes the importance of closeness,
mutual assistance, and informal communication. The implications of this study
can be used as an initial description for companies that want to form virtual
teams and create virtual team management systems by considering emerging
themes to support the achievement of company performance |
