The objective of this thesis is to investigate factors related to virtual team¡¦s collaborative performance from the view point of roles played by team leader. By observing the content of eight learning-task oriented virtual teams¡¦ Web-BBS, we try to find the difference of role model played by team leaders with high and low performance in each stage of group development adopted from Wheelan¡¦s integrated model of group development.
From the model of leadership roles, a team leader will play several roles at the same time in the process of a team project, such as innovator, broker, producer, director, coordinator, monitor, facilitator, and mentor. This role model is applied to observe team leaders¡¦ behavior and construct the categories of content analysis.
According to the research results, the critical role played by team leader at the initial stage is director which makes members¡¦ role and job in the team clearer. During the middle stage, the role of producer is helpful for team to keep stable growing toward high performance. In the final stage, the leader should actively participate in the team mission, and play the monitor role in order to reach superior quality of the team project.
The findings of this thesis will provide some suggestions about leader¡¦s behavior in a virtual team, facilitate team development, and improve virtual team¡¦s collaborative performance.
