Abstract
Teams are in the mid of a renaissance. Particularly in today’s

and sharing inputs and other individual efforts through technology—are
increasingly becoming prevalent. However there is still a gap in the
literature concerning the performance and success of virtual teams. In
this study, the interrelationships among leadership, team learning and
team performance is theoretically and empirically investigated within
the context of virtual teams. After a deep literature review a survey is
conducted on 101 teams. The data is analyzed via PLS 3.0 statistical
program. The path analyzes results show reveals the important role of
leadership on team learning for virtual teams. Moreover the findings
underline the vital role of team learning on team success and
performance for virtual teams just like for the traditional teams.
