The objective of this study is to determine the factors that influence virtual teamwork, from the perception of university students. The approach is quantitative, cross-sectional cohort and the type of research is non-experimental. A Likert scale instrument was designed that met the reliability criteria, obtaining values greater than 0.7 in each of the variables. Regarding the validity of the instrument, it was developed through an exhaustive and systematic review of the literature, adapting the items of each variable and asking experts in the area to review it. The instrument was applied to a random sample of 459 students from a university in northern Mexico. The multiple linear regression analysis found that the virtual communication and coordination variables have a significant relationship with the virtual teamwork dependent variable, except for the mutual support variable.
