“…Nonetheless, due to technological, social, and economic forces driving the need for FWAs (Kelly & Kalev, 2006;Masuda et al, 2012), a growing number of MNES are compelled to design and implement FWAs for their employees. Such a trend could also be reflected in the increasing number of managers working in multiple locations or distantly and forming global virtual teams (Jimenez et al, 2017).…”

Prior research has produced ample evidence showing that agility affects performance outcomes; however, we know little about the link between agility and collaborative processes toward environmental sustainability. This study examines the relationship between operational agility and environmental collaboration, mediated by individual creativity and flexible work arrangements. Using multilevel analysis of data obtained from 249 managers of 66 multinational enterprises (MNEs) in Turkey, we find that operational agility through individual creativity and flexible work arrangements leads to greater environmental collaboration. We contribute to the streams of literature on agility, international management, and environmental sustainability by elucidating that operational agility of emerging market MNEs tends to reduce environmental impacts and that individual creativity and flexible work arrangements facilitate environmental collaboration to attain environmental success.

“…Other aspects under contention include areas such as employment security, equality, teamwork ethics, and the extent of their application (Du & Choi, ; Goerzen, ; Jimenez et al, ). However, these HRM aspects have yet to be tested in the context of the internationalization of SMEs from developing countries.…”

“…Future research should consider the environmental factors SMEs in developing countries are having to deal with, such as political, legal, economic, financial, and sociocultural. Findings from developed countries could also be compared to those from a developing economy perspective to see whether adopting people's beliefs, norms, and values can be operationalized as part of a coordinated strategy to deal with SMEs' financial constraints so as to optimize people's performance, as postulated recently by Jimenez et al ().…”

“…Other studies highlighted the influence of technological advancements on the future of HRM and on people's behavior at work although some challenges are still posed by technological change (Stone, Deadrick, Kimberly, & Lukaszewski, ), employee engagement and entrepreneurial commitment, and performance (Von Bonsdorff, Janhonen, Zhou, & Vanhalad, ). Some scholars have examined the role of transformational leadership and trust (Top, Akdere, & Turcan, ), the role of HRM practices in BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) countries (Budhwar, Tung, Varma, & Do, ) and cross‐boundary or cross‐border teams/team‐working (Edmondson & Harvey, ; Goerzen, ; Jimenez, Boehe, Taras, & Caprar, ). However, these institutional sets of activities have been explored in isolation in disciplines such as international HRM and organizational behavior and entrepreneurship in large and small firms.…”

Although the importance of people and institutions has been highlighted in multinational enterprise studies, the association between people, institutions, and the internationalization of small to medium-sized enterprise (SMEs) is an underexplored issue from the context of a small developing country. We examine theories subsumed under the Universal Model of human resource management (HRM) onto SMEs to study the hypothesized people and institutionally orientated barriers posed to SMEs' internationalization. Using quantitative analysis, the impacts of the barriers on internationalization are highlighted with particular attention to employer attractiveness. Following extant literature review, this study has used primary data collected through questionnaires from 212 Bangladeshi SMEs. We developed and validated the partial least square-based structural equation model (PLS-SEM) to assess the impacts and successfully framed people versus institutional barriers as a second-order hierarchical reflective model, which has not been done previously. Given their marginal significance over institutions, people-oriented cultural barriers should be included as an extension of the Universal Model to study SME internationalization.

“…Nevertheless, despite the benefits of VT working, there seem to be some difficulties associated with VTs’ coordination and control (Bell & Kozlowski, ), such as leadership, team cohesion (TC), power, trust, and commitment (Jimenez, Boehe, Taras, & Caprar, ). In general, it seems that managing VTs is more demanding than managing colocated teams (Hoch & Kozlowski, ).…”

Over the years, an explosive growth in the use of virtual teams in organizations has been noticed. However, the individual and team factors that result in the team effectiveness of a virtual team still remain unclear. The purpose of the paper is to try to comprehend how virtual teams work better, by shedding light on the Virtual World Teams of Massively Multiplayer Online Games. A framework based on the input‐process‐output model was used to test the relationships between leader emotional intelligence, task interdependence, cooperative group norms, social capital, team cohesion, transformational leadership, and team effectiveness in virtual teams, from a multilevel perspective. Structural equations modeling (N = 500) revealed that leader emotional intelligence is positively related to transformational leadership, which in turn is associated with virtual team effectiveness. Moreover, a significant relation between task interdependence, cooperative group norms, social capital, team cohesion, and virtual team effectiveness was revealed. In addition, task interdependence seemed to also be related to team satisfaction, a subfactor of virtual team effectiveness. Finally, team cohesion has a partially mediating role between transformational leadership perceived at the team level and virtual team effectiveness. The study provides useful insights for leaders and human resource development professionals interested in designing effective virtual teams.
