Member Mobility Cascades in Virtual Teams: The Unexpected Role of Brokering Preference
- Published
- Record updated
Summary
This study examines how member mobility cascades affect virtual teams on a large gaming platform, and how key members can be identified through their consistent network-building preferences. Using relational event models on 6,114 individuals who joined or left 3,056 teams over three years, the authors find that collaboration-prone members follow inbound mobility cascades, driven by a preference for integrating disconnected members and seeking recognition for prosocial contributions. Arbitration-prone members instead deviate from outbound cascades, preferring to converge diverse resources and control resource flows.
