Abstract

Most of the research related to leadership and virtual teams has been developed under the assumption that members participate on one team at a time. However, scholars have recently noted that more organizations are having their employees working in multiple team environments, and most of this multiple team membership (MTM) is taking place in virtual teams. In this article, we present an analysis of how MTM might affect the creation and development of the Leader-Member Exchange relationship, LMX. To our understanding, this is the first attempt to explore the challenges that multiple team memberships carries in the creation and development on LMX relationships whether they are created in virtual or co-located teams.
