Purpose- The purpose of this study is to investigate the connection between the competencies of remote leadership to virtual team coordination. Then, analyze the effect of intra-team communication to the relationship between virtual team coordination and virtual team effectiveness. Methodology- This study polls 300 Vietnam developers who have experience working in teams in a fully online or hybrid online environment in which they are hired to work for the term of IT service project. Using SmartPLS4 software with PLS-SEM and multigroup analysis approach, the proposed relationships between all variables are examined. Findings- Vietnamese developers working in a virtual context in the IT services sector perceive that their team leader has the necessary competencies (Trust building through communication technology, diversity management, optimizing virtual team meetings, Virtual team monitoring) for virtual teams to coordinate effectively. Addtionally, the study shows that the more effort virtual team members put into coodination, the more they will want to share feedback and build ideas. This thing motivates the team to achieve better outcome. Implications- In the evolving landscape of remote work, effective leadership is pivotal to the success of virtual teams. Studies indicate that remote leaders who excel in specific competencies—namely, trust building through communication technology, diversity management, optimizing virtual team meetings, and virtual team monitoring—can significantly enhance coordination among team members. These competencies are essential as they address the unique challenges of virtual environments, such as physical separation, cultural differences, and the potential for miscommunication. Beyond these competencies, fostering a collaborative and coordinative culture is vital for virtual team success. Encouraging feedback sharing and idea building can significantly improve team outcomes. Leaders should create a safe environment for feedback, using regular sessions, anonymous surveys, and open forums to facilitate this. Constructive feedback helps team members understand their strengths and areas for improvement ...
