Distributed virtual team members are unable to directly observe each other, making it difficult to evaluate each other’s efforts. The results of an experiment are reported in which activity awareness and feelings of social presence had a significant impact on willingness to work, which in turn were associated with higher feelings of loyalty. This suggests that in many working contexts, awareness practices can increase motivation and performance, in contrast with prior virtual team research that found decreased trust and effort. Designers and users of collaboration technology are therefore advised to consider social motivation effects that might occur in virtual teams.

分布式虚拟团队的活动意识，社交存在和动机

分布式虚拟团队成员无法直接观察彼此，因此很难评估彼此的努力。报告了一项实验结果，其中活动意识和社交存在感对工作意愿有重大影响，而这又与更高的忠诚感相关。这表明，在许多工作环境中，与以前的虚拟团队研究发现，信任和精力减少相比，意识练习可以提高动力和绩效。因此，建议协作技术的设计者和用户考虑虚拟团队中可能发生的社会动机影响。
