| Abstract: | The potential for the legal context in which an organization operates to significantly impact its HRM function is widely, if not universally accepted. Nonetheless, to date, the legal context of virtual teams has received very little attention from researchers. This article helps address that limitation in the literature by providing readers a foundational understanding of the primary legal constraints and legal issues affecting virtual teams, identifying important research questions related to the impact of legal context on virtual teams, and stimulating further thinking about the potential relevance of legal context to the role of trust, cultural differences, discriminatory behavior, and other phenomena in virtual teams. |
