A Comprehensive Review of Enhancing Collaboration and Performance in Virtual Teams

This review aims to analyze and assess the main factors that influence the effectiveness of Virtual Teams (VT) in diverse applications.

The study used two complementary methods: systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis. The paper showcases the critical drivers of virtual team performance, including leadership, communication, trust, and digital collaboration tools, while also considering challenges such as cultural diversity and technological limitations. In addition, the paper outlines specific virtual team implementation approaches adopted within different industries while assessing collaborative technology performance and management strategies that impact team productivity and efficiency.

The results indicate that while virtual teams offer significant advantages in global business environments, their success is highly dependent on effective leadership, structured communication, and the appropriate use of digital tools and technology.

Finally, the conclusion emphasizes the need for organizations to adopt a strategic approach to managing virtual teams, ensuring optimal engagement, performance, and long-term sustainability.
