    Adding knowledge to virtual teams in the new normal : from leader-team communication towards the satisfaction with teamwork
    (MDPI, 2022-05-24) Vătămănescu, Elena Mădălina; Dinu, Elena; Stratone, Mădălina Elena; Stăneiu, Roxana Maria; Vintilă, Florina
    The present paper sets out to investigate the relationships among several key constructs that cover the work patterns and processes in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Emphasis is laid on the leader-team communication, the fostering of a strong team culture, team performance and satisfaction with teamwork in the case of virtual teams. The scrutiny is intended to complement recent developments in the field which compared traditional and virtual teams at different levels by adding knowledge to virtual teams’ communication and interaction patterns and processes. In this vein, an online survey was conducted with 175 members from different virtual teams. The findings showed the advancement of a pertinent conceptual model, mostly displaying significant relationships among constructs. Four out of the five formulated hypotheses were validated, the highest influences being reported between leader-team communication and team culture, respectively, and between team performance and satisfaction with teamwork. Furthermore, the structural model explained over 50% of the variance in the satisfaction with teamwork, thus supporting the relevance of the inferred relationships.

    Gliding between team members’ similarity versus diversity toward performance: the role of technological advancements
    (Business Systems Laboratory, 2025) Vătămănescu, Elena-Mădălina; Bunica, Andreea; Dinu, Elena
    "The current endeavor aims to provide preliminary insights into the dyad similarity – diversity of team members by considering two main factors, that is, performance achievement (as outcome) and technological advancements (as potential moderator). To this end, the remainder of the extended abstract will briefly look at the benefits of similarity versus the benefits of diversity among team members from the group and organizational perspectives, also introducing the role of technological advancements in the overall analytical framework. The composition of a team can significantly impact its overall performance and the success of the organization it serves. Researchers have identified factors like leadership, empowerment, and team structure as contributors to team effectiveness (Chen et al., 2005; MacMillan et al., 2002) Nevertheless, one factor garnering growing attention is the role of team member similarity in enhancing business performance (Vătămănescu & Mitan, 2023).
