Look Before You Lead: Seeing Virtual Teams Through the Lens of Games (original) (raw)

Abstract

This study investigated virtual teams playing World of Warcraft to better understand how traditional leadership theories applied to virtual worlds and to identify the most valuable leadership traits. Raid members completed surveys that assessed their leadership capability under the Competing Values Framework. In keeping with previous scholarship, the findings indicate that successful virtual teams value roles from task-based leadership and a factor analysis revealed that the Behavioral Complexity Leadership theory operates differently in virtual environments.
