Resumo: Leadership has been a research topic for several years. However, there is still a lot to study about it in a virtual context, and its importance has been growing over the last years, especially boosted by the COVID-19 pandemic. To address this concern, a systematic literature review was performed. First, a categorization of the papers into four main groups [(leadership) theories/frameworks, virtual leadership challenges, opportunities and skills] allowed to understand the most researched topics in this area. Second, the selected papers were used to explore 11 existing theories and their applications to virtual leadership. The papers were used also to identify key challenges and opportunities for virtual formal leaders, and key strategies to overcome these challenges and take the most out of these opportunities. Third, based on best practice found in the review, a set of recommendations for formal virtual leaders was created. Finally, directions for future research were suggested.

Contudo, ainda há muito a estudar sobre o tema em contexto virtual, e a sua importância tem vindo a aumentar ao longo dos últimos anos, aumento este especialmente causado pela pandemia de COVID-19. Para responder a esta necessidade, foi feita uma revisão sistemática de literatura. Primeiramente, fez-se uma categorização dos artigos selecionados em quatro grupos diferentes [teorias e frameworks (de liderança), desafios da liderança virtual, oportunidades da liderança virtual e capacidades necessárias num líder (para ultrapassar esses desafios e tirar partido dessas oportunidades)]. Esta categorização permitiu identificar os tópicos mais estudados na área de liderança virtual. Em segundo ludar, os artigos selecionados foram usados para explorar 11 teorias e frameworks existentes e a sua aplicação à liderança virtual, das quais sete foram usadas para a discussão. Os artigos foram ainda usados para identificar os principais desafios e oportunidades para líderes virtuais formais, e as estratégias e práticas-chave para ultrapassar esses desafios e tirar partido dessas oportunidades. Em terceiro lugar, com base nas boas práticas identificadas na revisão da literatura, foram criadas recomendações para líderes virtuais formais. Por fim, foram sugeridas direções para pesquisa futura.2023-03-14T11:06:41Z2023-02-08T00:00:00Z2023-02-082022-11info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/28296TID:203232186engMartins, Mariana Filipa Piresinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-11-09T17:53:08Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/28296Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:26:34.629854Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
