TEAM MANAGEMENT IN POST PANDEMIC TIMES IN HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS

Healthcare organizations have been reshaped in terms of team management following the challenges encountered during the COVID-19 pandemic and even more after it. The use of remote work and the transformation of traditional teams into virtual teams are more present than before. The management of virtual teams in healthcare organizations has certain particularities compared to those in traditional teams, being influenced by the conditions of the environment in which the activity is carried out, the VUCA type environment, but also by the characteristics of the team and the type of managers. The analysis of differences allows us to adapt the management style according to the challenges and obstacles we encounter in these organizations, but also to identify success factors that lead to team performance and the motivation of its members. The theoretical concepts support our research through the interview method and the obtained data, in turn, support the theoretical concepts. The conclusions obtained are beneficial and useful to virtual team managers in healthcare organizations and confirm that there are peculiarities of virtual team management in these types of organizations.
