Book Review: Grid Technology for Maximising Collaborative Decision Management and Support: Advancing Effective Virtual Organisations by N. BessisInternational Journal of Information and Decision Sciences, 2
This paper reports an exploratory study that investigates social loafing in asynchronous virtual collaboration. Specifically, we conducted an experiment to examine the following three research questions: 1) Does social loafing exist in virtual collaboration conducted in asynchronous mode?; 2) Does providing feedback about their co-workers’ performance increase an individual’s contribution to a group task?; 3) Does their co-workers’ performance level influence an individual’s contribution to a group task? Although no significant differences were found related to individual’s contribution and perceived social loafing between the control and treatment groups, this study revealed a very intriguing phenomenon: individuals who were informed that their co-workers contributed a little to the group task did not perceive that their co-workers were engaged in social loafing. Future research is needed to investigate whether individuals involved in asynchronous virtual collaboration perceive their co-workers’ social loafing differently from those involved in traditional face-to-face or synchronous virtual collaboration.
