Fatina Muhammad Ratib , Faculty of Mathematics, Birzeit University, PalestineAbstract
This study investigates the impact of experience and leadership skills training in virtual teams in self-managed schools in East Jerusalem. A mixed quantitative and qualitative approach was used to collect and analyze data from a sample of virtual team leaders and members in these schools. The results showed that there is a statistically significant relationship between the level of experience and training received and the development of effective leadership skills in the virtual environment. The study showed that more experienced leaders and those with advanced training showed higher proficiency in managing virtual teams, compared to those with less experience or insufficient training. The results also indicated that continuous training plays a crucial role in improving the performance of leaders and their ability to meet the needs of virtual teams, which enhances the effectiveness of teamwork and the achievement of organizational goals. Based on these findings, the study recommends strengthening training and professional development programs for virtual team leaders to ensure the highest levels of performance and effectiveness.
