Abstract

The effects of trust on the virtual team cannot be overstated. Trust is defined as the extent to which a person is confident in, and willing to act on the basis of, the words, actions and decisions of another [4]. It has been cited as the crucial aspect in virtual team development and effectiveness and has also been directly linked to virtual team efficiency, collaboration and performance [2] [3] [6]. This poster describes a questionnaire study into the types of information that most effectively build trust in the virtual team.
