Title: Leading the Virtual Workforce
Description:
Over the last few decades, there has been a significant growth in virtual/remote work (i.e., interactions between employees that are not in person and occur using technology-mediated communication), which was further accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Numerous studies show that the shift toward virtual/remote work is one of the most significant trends for the future. My research primarily focuses on how leaders can promote positive work outcomes for their employees and teams in virtual settings. This includes pressing issues for leaders such as facilitating effective teamwork, fostering employee well-being, and ensuring equal career outcomes for all employees regardless of their work arrangement. My research shows that virtual work can be a double-edged sword; thus, as organizations accelerate their implementation of virtual work, leaders must understand how to leverage its benefits while mitigating its negative effects.
