Dissertation Hypothesis
H1:
A shorter “hiring delay” in virtual teams than in traditional software project teams because the virtual workforce is not limited by geographic boundaries and “transcends towns, states, countries, and continents.”(Igbaria, Shayo et al. 1999)
H2:
Less training overhead by experienced workforce (“trainers per new hiree”) because virtual software project teams are more likely to use internet-based e-learning services that “can make training programs more accessible for participants from different world regions, and may support the transfer of experiences and best practices.” (Munkvold 2005)
H3:
Longer “assimilation delay” in virtual software project teams than in traditional teams because of the added complexity of working in a virtual environment. “Virtual teams are complex. They have all the complexity of any group –and then some, magnified by their distributed nature.” (Lipnack and Stamps 2000)
H4:
Longer “average employment time” because of increased employee satisfaction.
