An Empirical Study on the Instant Adjustment to Virtual Teamwork During COVID-19” in Issue 4/2021 of the German Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology, https://doi.org/10.1026/0932-4089/a000368 the authors have notified the journal that a transformation error occurred for the scale “performance”. In the tables on following pages, the corrected values are reported (in bold).The inferential conclusions do not change. The authors deeply regret the error.Table 1 Control variables, predictors (T1) and outcomes (T2) (Note for clarity: The only change in this table concerns the second decimal of Cronbach’s Alpha for the scale “Performance”) Example itemNo. itemsRangeCron-bachs αAuthorIndividual-related control variables (T1)Acceptance with WFH1Working from the home office has more disadvantages than advantages.45-point Likert-scale1 = do not agree, 5 = agree.72Self-developed Experience with WFHHow often did you work from home before the current situation?1never (1), sometimes/ on special occasions (e. g. delivery, craftsmen) (2), regularly (3), always (4) Self-developedCollective orientationI find the work on team projects very satisfying.165-point Likert-scale1 = do not agree, 5 = agree.86Hagemann (2017)Team-related (T1)Team cohesion (subscale of the F-A-T)We feel like a team.86-point Likert-scale1 = do not agree, 6 = agree.87Kauffeld & Frieling (2001)Team trustIn our team we trust each other very much.77-point Likert-scale1 = not true at all, 7 = entirely true.92Eisenbeiß (2008) originally reported by Langfred (2004)Processes (T1)Communication2 (subscale Teamwork Quality Scale)There is frequent communication in our team.105-point Likert-scale1 = do not agree, 5 = agree.80Hoegl & Gemuenden (2001)Coordination2 (subscale Teamwork Quality Scale)There are clear and understandable goals for subtasks within the teamwork process.45-point Likert-scale1 = do not agree, 5 = agree.70Hoegl & Gemuenden (2001)Cooperative conflict management (items of subscales collaboration and compromise)When my team experiences conflict… …I give in to the wishes of my team colleagues. 55-point Likert-scale1 = almost never, 5 = almost ever.78Montoya-Weiss et al.
