Adding Knowledge to Virtual Teams in the New Normal: From Leader-Team Communication towards the Satisfaction with Teamwork

The present paper sets out to investigate the relationships among several key constructs that cover the work patterns and processes in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Emphasis is laid on the leader-team communication, the fostering of a strong team culture, team performance and satisfaction with teamwork in the case of virtual teams. The scrutiny is intended to complement recent developments in the field which compared traditional and virtual teams at different levels by adding knowledge to virtual teams’ communication and interaction patterns and processes. In this vein, an online survey was conducted with 175 members from different virtual teams. The findings showed the advancement of a pertinent conceptual model, mostly displaying significant relationships among constructs. Four out of the five formulated hypotheses were validated, the highest influences being reported between leader-team communication and team culture, respectively, and between team performance and satisfaction with teamwork. Furthermore, the structural model explained over 50% of the variance in the satisfaction with teamwork, thus supporting the relevance of the inferred relationships

TECHNOLOGICAL ASPECTS CONCERNING PRODUCTION ON ASEXUAL TRACK OF ORNAMENTAL CULTURE OF ALOE ARBORESCENS

Research conducted in culture of Aloe arborescens Mill., in conditions of protected area (greenhouse), had to watch some of technological aspects to obtain some in pot ornamentals plants, competitive plants for european market. Experience has included plants of Aloe arborescens Mill., aged 1-5 years, obtained by vegetative multiplying, asexual. Production technology was applied to aloe plants (multiplying, transplanting, maintenance), taking into account the ecological requirements of specie and possibilities of using automated artificial factors influencing microclimate (shading, ventilation, cooling) of production space. Researches has established technological aspects concerning production of plants, to satisfy requirements of specie, for obtained some specimens by superior decorative quality. The results of experienced technology indicate quality of morphological characters, growth increases important of decorative elements (height, leaves, shoots), appearance of flowering at plants aged two years. Culture of Aloe arborescens Mill. in pot, can be practiced all year, just in conditions of protected areas. This culture, realized in the purpose for obtain decorative plants, is a valuable activity of horticulture
