Abstract

The article aims to show why and how trust and its components of are important within organizational context. Trust in virtual teams is a rather new and little studied field. Explicit understandings of what is a virtual team together with which dimensions define such team are provided. Afterwards, the article discuss what specific challenges virtual teams face when attempting to establish trust between its members providing knowledge on what actions and behaviors can build trust in a virtual team and overcome the challenges specific to virtual teams. Due to certain virtual teams' specifics (geographic dispersion, electronic dependence, dynamic structure and cultural diversity) trust in these teams is usually low. Based on the empirical research results methods for building trust in the virtual team are suggested. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Straipsnyje siekiama atskleisti, kodėl pasitikėjimas bei jo komponentai yra svarbūs organizaciniame kontekste. Pasitikėjimas virtualiose komandose yra gana nauja ir nedaug nagrinėta sritis, todėl būtina aiškiai suprasti, kas yra virtuali komanda, kartu išryškinant pagrindinius šių komandų veiklos ypatumus. Straipsnyje aptariami specifiniai iššūkiai, su kuriais susiduria virtualios komandos, siekdamos sukurti pasitikėjimą tarp savo narių, taip pat kokie veiksmai ir elgesys gali padėti sukurti pasitikėjimą virtualioje komandoje ir padėti priimti iššūkius. Dėl specifinių šių komandų bruožų (geografinis išsisklaidymas, elektroninė priklausomybė, dinamiška struktūra ir kultūriniai skirtingumai) pasitikėjimo lygis šiose komandose dažniausia būna žemas. Remiantis empirinio tyrimo rezultatais, pateikiama pasiūlymų ir būdų, kaip didinti pasitikėjimą virtualiose komandose.
