- Abstract
- Virtual communities (VCs) are regarded as increasingly critical groups. This study examines leadership styles, Web-based commitment, and their subsequent impacts on e-learning performance in VCs. The findings indicate that a leader's initiating structure (task-oriented) has a strong, direct effect on performance. On the other hand, a leader's consideration (relationship-oriented) has a strong, indirect impact on performance through commitment, which might require more time to observe. These results imply that future studies should consider the related constructs in both the short and long run. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
