Abstract

COVID-19 has forced many project teams in the creative industries to switch to remote working. However, due to the few existing studies, the effects of remote collaboration on creative performance are often unclear. This article examines the effects of remote work on the creative performance of virtual project teams and how the creativity of the teams has developed during remote work. The theory of self-efficacy and an organizational behavior approach were chosen as the theoretical basis for the study. Based on a qualitative analysis with members of twelve creative teams in Austria, the article shows that remote work does not necessarily have a negative impact on their creativity – as long as different tasks and functions in creative teams are considered and suitable online tools are used to maintain communication.
