Driven by an unexpected transition into virtual working worldwide as a result of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic, in this paper, we examine the extent to which existing knowledge from the literature on virtual teams (VTs) spanning two decades can be used to inform how leadership can be exercised in the Covid-19 ‘new normal’, involving ‘reconfigured’ VTs which have both similarities with, and differences from, earlier VTs. Drawing on existing literature on VTs pre-Covid-19, we explore what current (and future) VTs might look like and what this means for leadership in this new context with an emphasis on how leadership, or e-leadership, can be exercised to help the leaders of traditional, physically collocated teams that had to transition into VTs. These new e-leaders need to come to grips with a variety of new challenges in order to create high-performing and sustainable VTs. Following a semi-systematic, state-of-the-art literature review, we: (a) identify key themes and explain with a theoretical model how existing knowledge can lead to new insights for newly transitioned e-leaders; (b) discuss what future information systems (IS) researchers should focus on given the reconfiguration and new characteristics of VTs in the Covid-19 context; and (c) ‘translate’ the findings of our synthesis of the existing literature into prescriptive advice that can be used to inform practitioners.

由于 Covid-19,重新构想重新配置的虚拟团队的电子领导

受 2019 年冠状病毒病 (Covid-19) 大流行导致全球范围内意外过渡到虚拟工作的推动,在本文中,我们研究了跨越 20 年的虚拟团队 (VT) 文献中的现有知识在多大程度上可以被应用用于告知如何在 Covid-19“新常态”中发挥领导作用,涉及“重新配置”的 VT,这些 VT 与早期 VT 既有相似之处,也有不同之处。借鉴关于 Covid-19 之前 VT 的现有文献,我们探讨了当前(和未来)VT 可能是什么样子,以及这对新环境下的领导力意味着什么,重点是如何运用领导力或电子领导力来帮助传统的、物理上并置的团队的领导者必须过渡到 VT。这些新的电子领导者需要应对各种新挑战,以创建高性能和可持续的 VT。在半系统的、最先进的文献回顾之后,我们:(a) 确定关键主题并用理论模型解释现有知识如何为新转型的电子领导者带来新的见解;(b) 考虑到 Covid-19 背景下 VT 的重新配置和新特性,讨论未来信息系统 (IS) 研究人员应关注的重点;(c) 将我们综合现有文献的结果“转化”为可用于告知从业者的规范性建议。(a) 确定关键主题并用理论模型解释现有知识如何为新转型的电子领导者带来新见解;(b) 考虑到 Covid-19 背景下 VT 的重新配置和新特性,讨论未来信息系统 (IS) 研究人员应关注的重点;(c) 将我们综合现有文献的结果“转化”为可用于告知从业者的规范性建议。(a) 确定关键主题并用理论模型解释现有知识如何为新转型的电子领导者带来新见解;(b) 考虑到 Covid-19 背景下 VT 的重新配置和新特性,讨论未来信息系统 (IS) 研究人员应关注的重点;(c) 将我们综合现有文献的结果“转化”为可用于告知从业者的规范性建议。
