Editors' Introduction


Electronic Nets and Personal Relationships
          Reliance on personal linkages is associated with better firm-supplier relationships and mitigates the negative consequences of using electronic networks.


Remote Workers and Self-Efficacy
          Remote employees' self-efficacy assessments play a critical role in their remote work performance and attitudes towards their own organizations.


 

Organizational Identification
          Temporal and spatial dispersion threatens the very meaning of firms. Is organizational identification the critical glue linking virtual workers and their organizations?


Risk Mitigation in Virtual Organizations
          Communication processes in VO's that mitigate risk are different than those in traditional organizations, reflecting the VO's varied and changing organizational structures.
