Changing Digital Age in the Wake of COVID-19

Abstract

Virtual teams play a crucial role in today’s knowledge-based organisation for overcoming challenges in our dynamic world, especially in the current situation of the COVID-19 pandemic. Teams play a key role in today’s knowledge-based organization for overcoming challenges in our dynamic world. Drawing on social information processing theory, this study explores the effect of members’ humility and team environment within a leaderless team mainly based on virtual platforms. Their impacts on shared leadership, relationship conflict and team and individual performance were investigated. Surveying 219 students forming 61 virtual leaderless teams, our findings showed that a high level of humility and a positive team environment can help to improve shared leadership within a team, which contributes to team performance. Moreover, both humility and team environment have a negative relationship with relationship conflict, which depressed both team and individual performance. Our analysis also indicated that humility positively interacts with team environment on shared leadership.

A Large Group Emergency Decision-Making Approach on HFLTS With Public Preference Data Mining

“…The COVID-19 is a new strain of coronavirus that has never been found in humans before and its powerful transmission exceeds our imagination Xu et al, 2020). On January 31, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak as an international public health emergency, showing its seriousness (Cho et al, 2022;Mishra et al, 2022). The outbreak drew strong public attention at the beginning of the outbreak; simultaneously, numerous Internet users published their opinions and insights via social networks after it occurred.…”

Research on COVID-19 Prevention and Control Model Based on Evolutionary Games

“…With the COVID-19 outbreak, research found that ML (Alimadadi et al, 2020) and AI (Vaishya et al,2020) can integrate and analyze large-scale data on COVID-19 patients to better understand virus transmission patterns. So some scholars studied COVID-19 from the technical aspects of electronic learning, artificial intelligence and big data (Chang et al,2021;Cho et al,2021;Mehla et al,2021). Singh et al (2021) proposed to use computing infrastructure provided by cloud computing and fog computing to control pandemics such as COVID-19.…”
