Article - Virtual teams and transformational leadership: An integrative literature review and avenues for further research Volume 8, Isu 2, Artikel No. 100351, Halaman 1–11
Digitalisation reshapes both the workplace and the forms of communication used within a team. Due to the
COVID-19 crisis, rethinking leadership has required transitioning from a physical to an entirely virtual work
environment to respond to the COVID-19 crisis, accelerating and increasing the relevance of exclusively vir-
tual communication. In a face-to-face professional work environment, transformational leaders can motivate
their followers by example. In addition to publications addressing these face-to-face environments, there is
an emerging and growing research interest in virtual teams guided by transformational leaders. Therefore,
this study conducts a literature review integrating virtual teams and transformational leadership, identifying
team, leadership, and motivation factors in the existing literature. As its main contribution, the paper chal-
lenges an established leadership model under exceptional economic circumstances and identifies research
gaps within team, leadership, and motivation factors. Knowing that the virtual working environment will
influence the future of work, this study paves the way for further research on transformational leaders and
their influence on virtual teams.
