Trust and its relationships with knowledge sharing and virtual team effectiveness by Pangil, Faizuniah, Chan, Joon Moi

“…Virtual teams represent one form of organization structure that revolutionize the workplace and provide organizations with unprecedented levels of flexibility and responsiveness.However, implementing virtual teams could be quite challenging especially if it involves different languages, time zones, and communication styles.Most importantly, the autonomy of the virtual environment may cause team members to distort social and contextual information,and with limited proximal communication between team members,it can create a lack of trust among members of the virtual team members which can significantly reduce the effectiveness of these teams.Hence, this paper reports a study conducted to examine the relationship between trust and virtual teams effectiveness, by looking into the mediating effect of knowledge sharing.Results of hierarchical regression analysis indicated that knowledge sharing and all the three types of trust are significantly related to virtual team effectiveness.However, only personality- based trust and institutional-based trust are significantly related to knowledge sharing, but knowledge sharing only partially mediates the relationship between these two types of trust and team effectiveness.…”

Accept or reject? Predicting ideation outcomes through enterprise social media by Rozaidi, Nik Ahmad, Gibbs, Jennifer L., Eisenberg, Julia

“…Research on the use of social media for Q&A has shown that certain characteristics and reputation algorithms can help determine the best answers.Less is known about the ideation process and the way it plays out in social media.This paper explores the use of enterprise social media (ESM) for ideation by employees in a large Russian organization distributed across nine time zones.In particular, we explore which characteristics of both ideas and their contributors predict whether ideas get accepted or rejected.Our analysis is based on logistic regression analysis of a sample of 488 ideas contributed in an ESM tool used in the organization as well as a content analysis of the types of ideas generated.Our results suggest that rather than being truly democratic and decentralized, ideation in ESM is driven by those in (or proximate to) positions of organizational power.…”
