    The Effect of Technology, E-Leader Competencies, and Virtuality of Teams on E-leadership Implementation: In the case of Atlas Computing Technologies
    (Addis Ababa University, 2020-06) Amaha, Romahay; Bekalu, wubeshet (PhD)
    The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of technology, e-leader competencies, and virtuality of teams on e-leadership implementation in the case of Atlas Computing Technologies. The qualitative data was found from previous researches and literatures while the quantitative data was collected from the respondents through a Likert scale questionnaire distributed through a Google Docs link. Stratified sampling was used by taking the departments as strata and randomly sampling respondents from that strata. The data was then analyzed by SPSS. Descriptive analysis was used to show the distribution of data, Pearson Correlation was used to examine the relationship between the variables and regression analysis was used to examine the effect of the technology, e-leader competencies, and virtuality of teams on e-leadership implementation. It was found, from the research, that technology, leader competencies and virtuality of teams have positive relationships to e-leadership implementation. Although positively related, virtuality of teams was seen to be insignificant in judging the level of e-leadership implementation. The study also found that Atlas Computing Technologies have high technological usage and that their leaders are competent. This is a great opportunity for Atlas. But, it was seen that there is a medium level of virtuality of teams. This shows that technology is not being used to create this virtuality, which is seen as a challenge. This also creates a difficulty in Atlas Computing Technologies’ ability to operate globally.
