摘要:The term virtual organization is used to describe the organizations that are united with other organizations
to benefit from the relative advantages of other organizations. These organizations are
established based on different patterns to use information technology for building quick, cheap,
and easy communications. Virtual organizations use effective and useful strategies to keep up with
the rapid and fundamental changes in the new world. Information Technology (IT) is a facilitator
that has made it possible to create virtual organizations. In these organizations, indicators such as
the level of collaboration with partners, the rate of the implementation of IT and other issues such
as how to work together based on mutual trust, how to choose partners and how to resolve disputes
with partners are used to form the virtual teams to help determine the viability of the organizations.
The virtual organization, as a fact, is the result of technological advancements and creativity in
organizing firms to face with the turbulent environment and features of the post-industrial age. In
today's world of business, virtual organizations are trying to benefit from knowledge-based employees,
who have high flexibility and significant efficiency to respond to the needs of a turbulent
market and to create significant competitive advantage. In order to benefit from such organizations,
their managerial issues should be identified and organized in a good manner. This study examines
the relationship between the degree of organization's virtualization and the organizational ability
(employees). The study designs a questionnaire and distributes it among some experts and, using
Pearson correlation test, examines the hypotheses of the survey. The results indicate that there was
a significant difference between the degree of virtualization of organization and organizational
ability.
