At present, the physical part of the work has shifted to virtual ways of doing work. These has been a growing emphasis on boundary-less ways of work environments that operate in 24x7 cycle and in different time zones. Unlike, traditional Face to Face (FTF) teams, Virtual Teams (VTs) are more complicated as they transcend the boundaries of time, space and culture. The study aims to find out, which type of team is more performance oriented: VT or FTF Team? To answer this question, the present study utilized an experimental design to measure the Performance Outcomes in VTs and FTF Teams, for which a total of 10 teams were formed. The subjects were same in both the team types FTF and VTs. Results indicated that VTs are equally performance oriented as FTF teams or even better than FTF teams.
