Description

Drawing on Flow Theory (Csikszentmihalyi, 1990), this study empirically identifies attributes that emerge in the relationship among information technology (IT) team members at work, and it also proposes and validates a scale (Vibe-IT) for measuring shared flow in IT teams. At the theoretical level, this study seeks to fill a gap identified in the literature regarding shared flow measurement. At the managerial level, the outcomes suggest that recognizing and valuing vibrant professionals may prove to be a good practice for team management.
