During the last decade, global virtual teams have become increasingly common in academic and work settings. Considering the recent global pandemic, now they seem to be more the rule than an exception. Drawing on expectancy theory and using a latent growth model approach, this paper investigates the relationship between peer assessments and student individual effort to complete a given task. The analysis of these two variables as parallel processes indicates that the more abrupt the decrease in peer assessments, the steeper the positive rate of change in effort in the context of global virtual teams. This longitudinal study suggests that peer assessments are a useful and effective means to boost global virtual team members’ individual effort. The paper concludes with implications and recommendations for researchers, managers and educators who use global virtual teams in education and practice.

在过去的十年中，全球虚拟团队在学术和工作环境中变得越来越普遍。考虑到最近的全球大流行，现在看来，它们似乎更多是规则而不是例外。利用期望理论并使用潜在增长模型方法，本文研究了同伴评估与学生个人完成既定任务的努力之间的关系。对这两个变量作为并行过程的分析表明，同行评估的减少越突然，在全球虚拟团队的背景下，积极的工作变化率就越陡。这项纵向研究表明，同行评估是增强全球虚拟团队成员个人努力的有用和有效手段。本文最后为研究人员提出了一些建议和建议，
