ABSTRACT

Organizational change employing virtual working enables industries to be globally competitive, provide flexible workspace, and just-in-time responses. A virtual team–also known as geographically dispersed team–is a group of individuals who work across time, space, and organizational boundaries with links strengthened by webs of communication technology. Organizational climate refers to a set of measurable properties of the work environment, that are perceived by the people who live and work in it, and that influence their motivation and behavior. Organizational climate, manifested in a variety of human resource practices, is an important predictor of organizational success. The construct of job involvement is somewhat similar to organizational commitment in that they are both concerned with an employee’s identification with the work experience. Organizational socialization is the process by which an individual understands the values, abilities, behaviors, and social knowledge indispensable for an organizational role and for taking part in as a member.
