• DAOs can be viewed as dynamic networks of virtual teams using a distributed leadership model

• They are dynamic because new contributors are always joining, while independent contributors pop in and out for various work, changing the shape of the organizational network

• They are virtual teams that almost exclusively do not occupy physical office space and use technology as a primary communication medium

  • DAOs tend to be:
    • high in [[temporal distribution]]
    • high in [[boundary spanning]]
    • dynamic in [[lifecycle]]
    • dynamic in [[member roles]]

• As high [[boundary spanning]] and [[temporal distribution]] virtual teams, DAOs should consider how they are developing their [[Transactive Memory Systems]] to improve performance

• Many traditionally measured constructs one would measure to assess org health should be relevant to DAOs as many of these constructs still exist, albeit with likely different effects and baseline levels

• Thus, we can operationalize contributor health as "the psychological factors leading to a high performance network of virtual teams"

  • sherif
    • may also want to consider the physical well being of contributors

• Since contributors are constantly changing, it would be in the interest of DAOs to measure these psychological factors frequently to account for this.

• Factors that should lead to a high performance network of virtual teams:

  Engagement

  Org Commitment

  Job Satisfaction

  Pay Satisfaction

  Organizational Justice

  Belonging

  Psychological Safety

  Trust

  JDS

  Information Sharing + TMS

  Transactive Memory Systems

  Vision and clarity

  Internal team environment for Shared leadership

  Support for innovation
