Abstract
Considering the great use and popularity of social networks today, it becomes more interesting to
gather virtual teams for which it is inherent to communicate through computers and the internet.
There is not enough research that addresses the relationship between some aspects of social behaviour
and the willingness to participate in virtual team work. Therefore, the aim of this study was
to examine the correlation between personality traits of a Big five-factor personality model and
participation in virtual team work as well as the link between some aspects of Facebook use and
participation in virtual team work. The research was conducted on line on a sample of 108 students
of the University of Mostar, the average age 21 (M = 21.75, SD = 1.66). The students did
The Goldberg Questionnaire for Measuring Big Five Personality Dimensions (IPIP-50 S, Mlačić
and Goldberg, 2007), Teamwork Measurement Scale (Nikodijević, 2015), and Questionnaire of
some aspects of using Facebook designed for this research and a demographic questionnaire. There
was a significant positive correlation between extraversion and participation in virtual team work,
agreeableness and participation in virtual team work, and emotional stability and participation
in virtual team work. Furthermore, there was a significant correlation between some aspects of
using Facebook and participating in virtual team work. Membership in the on line group of generations
of studies, success in the study and the success in the exam / exams were positively correlated
with participation in virtual team work.
