Abstract: Online teams are useful due to both flexibility and facility to gather resources originally dispersed. However, its intrinsic characteristic of separation in space and time imposes challenges to participation. Belief in task significance has positive effects on moving members to participate, while incentive mechanisms can be added to foster participation. Coordination is a central to a successful collaboration, since it guides members’ participation. As participation is driven by motivation, we focus on motivation. We conducted an experiment to analyze the effects on motivation of the following aspects: task significance, quality of team coordination, and usage of incentive mechanisms. We discuss the relevance of these aspects; the characteristics that make them contribute to or interfere on online motivation; as well as the interplay among the aspects that can increase or reduce the aspects’ effect.
