Abstract
This paper investigates the perceptions of members of 43 culturally diverse global virtual teams,
with respect to team processes and outcomes. Despite widespread acknowledgement of the
challenges presented by cultural differences in the context of global teams, little is known about the
effect of these differences on team dynamics in the absence of face-to-face interaction. Using a
student-based sample, we study the relationship between global virtual team members’ individua-
listic and collectivistic orientations and their evaluations of trust, interdependence, communication
and information sharing, and conflict during the team task. Our results suggest that a collectivist
orientation is associated with more favorable impressions regarding global virtual team processes
and that cultural differences are not concealed by virtual means of communication.
