Abstract
Abstract. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic forced organizations to adjust co-located teams to virtual teams instantly. The applicability of known success factors for virtual teamwork to this situation is uncertain. Therefore, this study addresses the following research question: what factors relate to successful team adjustment to the new virtual work context? We hypothesize that perceived team success is influenced by individual and team factors and that these effects of team-related factors on perceived team success are moderated by team processes and team-/task-technology fit. A time-lagged online study was conducted at two timepoints during the initial lockdown in Germany with N = 110 employees working in teams. We found trust, task-technology fit, and communication to be significantly associated with perceived team performance. The results suggest that the instant adjustment might have led to a new phase related to team cycle episodes. We propose guidelines to prepare teams for future instant adjustments.
