Description
Summary:The purpose of this dissertation is the study of the effect of trust on team adaptation through transition processes. Data was collected from 332 questionnaires. Results show that there are differences between the levels of trust and adaptability in virtual and non-virtual teams. However, transition processes’ levels do not vary significantly between both groups. Results indicate that trust has a statistically significant effect on team adaptation and that transition processes mediate the effect of trust on team adaptation. Nonetheless, the amount of Face-to-face communication does not moderate the relationship between trust and team adaptation.
