Abstract

This research investigates the complex role of knowledge sharing in enabling global virtual teams consisting of members located in different nations. The impact of knowledge sharing on team viability and team performance is examined through a longitudinal study involving 74 participants in 23 teams from two countries. Our data analysis shows that knowledge sharing directly increases team viability and performance. In addition, it plays a nuanced moderating role in reducing the negative influence of individualism on team viability and enhancing the positive influence of team viability on performance. This research provides a novel perspective to highlight the importance of knowledge sharing in global virtual teams, which not only makes a theoretical contribution to research on virtual teams but also offers practical guidance in virtual team management.
