Abstract: This study assesses the extent to which cohesion affects performance in global virtual teams (GVTs) and whether this effect depends on team members’ technical skills. Results indicate that the interaction between team cohesion and team members' technical skill explain additional variance in team performance over and above the main effects of team cohesion and team members' technical skill alone. Specifically, team cohesion is positively and significantly related to team performance when team members’ skills are high, but is not significantly related to team performance when team members’ skills are low. Based on the empirical results, the influence of cohesion on team performance should be predicated on the team type and characteristics. This study suggests the existence of boundary conditions to the cohesion-performance relationship and proposes the use of the concept of ‘expeditious cohesion’ in GVTs and managerial practice.
