¿Why to study social bonds in virtual organizations?
Keywords:
Telecommuting, Social bonds, Administrative Sciences.Abstract
With the development of globalization and information and communication technologies, virtual organizations and telecommuting work emerged. These implicate changes in the traditional organizational and working methods. Some of these changes, such as structural modifications, coordination of activities, or work control, are being studied (yet not thoroughly) by the Administrative Sciences. Others, such as social relations at work, seem to have being barely studied so far.
This paper seeks to explain why we consider of great relevance the analysis by the Administrative Sciences of how social relations are created and sustained in virtual organizations and telecommuting. The fundamentals used in this paper are 1) the concept of man as a social being; 2) the importance that man gives to social bonds at work and; 3) the organization as a social system that requires a balance between its interests and those of its members to be established and maintained over time.
