The science of workplace meetings: Integrating findings, building new theoretical angles, and embracing cross-disciplinary research

Summary: This study identifies issues and challenges of using videoconferencing for work-related meetings, focusing on camera and microphone problems, eating habits, meeting management, and work-from-home issues. The findings provide guidance for workplace policies and suggest directions for future research in the field of videoconferencing.

Summary: This study explores the potential coordination breakdowns faced by teams spanning national and cultural borders in complex project work, which are often driven by differences in cognitive and behavioral scripts for task coordination. These script differences stem from cultural and institutional influences on role structures, temporal structures, and cues. By delving into the concepts of coordination scripts and cultural coordination templates, new insights are provided for global project coordination and risk mitigation.
