Abstract:

In the modern business world, due to the impact of technological advancements and globalisation, organisations are obliged to keep up with the change in order to seize new opportunities they encounter and overcome the obstacles in their way. Concepts of virtuality and virtual organisations are among these concepts which surfaced as a result of these changes. All white-collar employees have a certain degree of virtuality and the fact that organisations are taking rapid steps towards virtualisation makes this topic a significant field of research. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between the perceived degree of virtuality of organisations and the psycho-social performance and organisational commitment of employees. As a result, while a positive significant relationship was found between the degree of virtuality and psycho-social performance, while there was no relationship identified with organisational commitment. Moreover, according to a sub-scale about employees’ individual propensity for virtuality, it was pointed out that virtual workers are happy with their conditions and are willing to continue to work the same way.
