This study tests the effects of personality and cognitive style on preference of individuals for working in virtual teams. The results support the use of both personality and cognitive style as predictor variables with each uniquely contributing to two facets of virtual team preference, namely preference for virtual teams over working alone and preference for virtual teams over traditional groups. Results are discussed regarding the impact of cognitive style and personality for corporate implementation of virtual teams.
► Look at user preferences for working in virtual teams (VTs). ► Develop and psychometrically validate new measure of preference for working in VTs. ► Investigate impact of user personality and cognitive style on this new construct. ► Personality predicts VT preference over working in face-to-face groups. ► Cognitive style predicts VT preference over working alone.
