“…The onset of VTs has had a substantial impact on how teams communicate and can assist firms in mitigating risk, minimizing operation costs, and eliminating redundancy of tasks [20]. A significant portion of the academic literature focuses on how digital platforms influence team interaction and the key success factors that allow VT to collaborate effectively [7,21,22].…”

“…Trust is an essential part of building relationships in most human-based interactions, how individuals interact impacts how trust is formed. Trust has been analyzed and examined at the interpersonal, individual, organizational, interorganizational, calculus-based and cognitive-based levels [20]. Trust can enhance VT effectiveness, support positive behavior and improve conflict [24].…”

This includes new online communication technologies such as online file-sharing systems, global systems for mobile communications, electronic data interchange, web 2.0 applications and cloud computing services [20]. Researchers have recommended the extensive use of second and third-generation technologies for global VT collaboration, with firstgeneration used primarily for brief information-sharing interactions [35,39].…”

Technological advancements, globalization, and the COVID-19 pandemic have transformed digital communication into a central tenet of many project management virtual teams (VTs). However, successful VTs are dependent on communication, collaboration and knowledge sharing among team members. Through a systematic literature review, this study investigates the challenges and critical success factors of digital communication, collaboration, and knowledge sharing in project management VTs. As a result, eight key common themes were identified - trust, cultural diversity, collaboration tools and technology, communication and knowledge hoarding, leadership, psychological safety, communication guidelines and training, and resource planning. Furthermore, given the geographically dispersed nature of VTs, they face additional challenges than teams that interact face-to-face (in-person). Therefore, mitigating the challenges by focusing on the identified themes could lead to project success.

“…Integrity has always been a concern to various team members during virtual project teams. According to Mansor et al (2012) and Morrison-Smith and Ruiz (2020), in a virtual team collaboration context, the team leader's integrity and zero tolerance for violations of commonly established ethical principles are critical in motivating other team members to accept responsibility for their decisions and actions and act in a trustworthy manner. The next highest factor loading is the benevolence of the team member with a value of 0.749.…”

PurposeOver the last couple of decades, many organisations are increasingly adopting virtual team concepts, and construction companies in the Middle East are no exception. Members of a virtual team are geographically scattered and represent a diverse range of cultures. Thus, challenging issues emerge more frequently than in a traditional team. There are challenges associated with space and time as well as high client's demand. Therefore, this study aims to identify and probe the causes of the challenges in virtual project teams in the construction industry of the Middle East.Design/methodology/approachA list of challenges was derived through a comprehensive review of relevant literature. Questionnaire survey was conducted with professionals who are involved in construction virtual project teams. Further, the factor analysis technique was used to analyse the survey responses.FindingsThe results show that the challenges in virtual team arrangement in the Middle East construction industry can be grouped into seven categories, namely, organisational culture, conflict within the team, characteristics of the team members, trust within the team members diversity of the team, communication and training, and cohesion in the team. Understanding of these factors will drive the needed platform to support effective virtual project teams in the Middle East.Originality/valueThis study raises the prospect that organisations may establish an environment for team members to achieve higher levels of virtual cooperation by concentrating on these potentially crucial factors. This, in turn, will encourage further innovation and performance within construction organisations.
