In 
Brief
Because of the international projects many organizations around the  
world have been adapted to the new environmental conditions in which 
 they work, determined by the phenomenon of globalization.
Communication tools and electronic data transformation have paved 
 the way for the creation of project teams virtually. This allows team  
members to work together regardless of their location or historical,  
cultural, educational, and socio-political differences.
Introductio
n
The improvement in the latest technology has helped employees who work remotely to 
 unleash their potential.
Employees who work in remote projects can also improve employee retention and 
 happiness, thus attracting more qualified candidates
The objective is to provide reliability for team workers to improve their work and life 
 balance while eradicating negative impacts on project management.
Remote working can improve productivity when that balance is achieved.
Performan
ce
The performance of the employers is measured by monitoring their progress and 
 accomplishments of their activities.
There are 3 types of performance measures. They are:
1. INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE: An employer strives to work independently on a specified 
 task and is also responsible for completing the assigned task successfully.
2. TEAM PERFORMANCE: Team members work together to achieve the goal of their team 
 and this involves teamwork and communication between team members.
3. PROJECT TEAM PERFORMANCE: The goal of the project team should be more precise 
 and they should aim to achieve the objectives of the project.
Conceptual 
Model
MOTIVATION OF A TEAM MEMBER: When a team member is working on a project,  
motivation is an excitement level or the drive that encourages the team members to work 
 efficiently in a project team virtually.
COMFORT OF BELONGING TO A TEAM: Comfort is an important element that gives a team 
 member a feeling of ease of working in a remote working environment.
COMMUNICATION: The latest and swift development in communication technologies has  
helped many organizations to work on remote projects and made it possible for employees 
 from different parts of the world to work together in remote project teams. .
Contd..
TRUSTWORTHINESS: Team members must trust other team members to accept 
one  another’s ideas, share Information and knowledge openly, and ultimately enhance 
the  performance of their team.
TEAM COOPERATION: The project team’s cooperation improves over time and when 
the  team members communicate and share project-related information with each 
other.
RELIABILITY OF PROJECT INFORMATION: The information that is shared between the 
 team members should be demonstrable and consistent.
PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES: Project managers should know what  
strategies must be used to achieve the goal of the project. They are responsible for 
 selecting the right team for the project and motivating them.

 Performance
Conclusio
n
Handling team members who are working virtually is an extremely challenging job for 
 most of the managers.
In order to get the best of their work, a clear communication routine must be  
established, and steps must be taken to build trust and review to make sure that the 
 team members are working properly.
The project management team should form a schedule for meeting in order to 
report
their updates regularly.
