Abstract
We explore factors associated with employee adjustment to virtual work. In particular, we explore structural factors (i.e., work independence and eval uation criteria) and relational factors (i.e., trust and organizational con nectedness) as predictors of adjustment to virtual work. Additionally, we e xplore age, virtual work experience and gender as moderators of the relatio nships. We find that structural and relational factors are important predic tors of adjustment and that the strength of the relationship is contingent upon individual differences We explore the implications of these findings f or future research and fur practice.
