Abstract: Many companies have found huge benefits in having work groups who have the flexibility to work from any location at any time by using various tools for virtual communication , also known as virtual teams. The success of a virtual team is dependent on many factors. These factors include computer self-efficacy , remote work self-efficacy , virtual media skill , and virtual social skill , the four components that make up the Individual Virtual Competence construct. These factors also include generational differences that play a role in shaping how a team works. This paper intends to determine how Individual Virtual Competence differs across the different generations in a workforce and the distinguishing factors of these generations that could account for these differences.
