Design/methodology/approach: The influence that certain physical and behavioral characteristics of the leader (attractiveness, empathy and justice) exert on the degree of trust is evaluated. On the other hand, the influence of trust on the efficiency of the team, in terms of organizational citizenship behavior and commitment, is analyzed. To test the model, a survey was conducted on real work teams and the data were analyzed through a model of structural equations. Findings: The results support the hypotheses and consequently, the relevance of trust in the leader. Specifically, the leader’s physical and behavioral characteristics have a significant effect on the trust in the leader. This trust results in greater organizational efficiency. Originality/value: Despite the undisputable growth in the number of companies using virtual teams, it is also true that many of these teams fail to perform. In this sense, this paper analyzes if certain factors related to leadership can be relevant when influencing the efficiency of a virtual work team. This paper contributes to a better understanding of the internal processes within a virtual team in order to maximize the chances of success in this type of organizations. 000099307 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000099307 592__ $$a0.639$$b2019 000099307 593__ $$aBusiness and International Management$$c2019$$dQ1 000099307 593__ $$aTourism, Leisure and Hospitality Management$$c2019$$dQ2 000099307 593__ $$aOrganizational Behavior and Human Resource Management$$c2019$$dQ2 000099307 593__ $$aStrategy and Management$$c2019$$dQ2 000099307 593__ $$aFinance$$c2019$$dQ2 000099307 593__ $$aMarketing$$c2019$$dQ2 000099307 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000099307 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-1456-4726$$aGuinalíu, M.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000099307 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-2095-7219$$aJordan, P. 000099307 7102_ $$14011$$2095$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
