Abstract

In this study, we challenge the commonly held belief that virtual meeting fatigue manifests as exhaustion (i.e., active fatigue) resulting from overloading demands and instead suggest that participation in virtual meetings may lead to increased drowsiness (i.e., passive fatigue) due to underload of stimulation. Using subjective and cardiac measures (heart rate variability), we investigated the relationships between virtual versus face-to-face meetings and different types of fatigue (active and passive) among 44 knowledge workers during real-life meetings (N = 382). Our multilevel path analysis revealed a link between virtual meetings and higher levels of passive fatigue, which then impacted cognitive performance. Additionally, our results suggest that work engagement may act as an individual-level moderator, explaining why some knowledge workers are affected, while others are not. Given the growing amount of time spent in virtual meetings, these findings emphasize the risks to mental energy and cognitive performance and highlight the protective role of high general work engagement.

虚拟会议疲劳：探索虚拟会议对认知表现和主动与被动疲劳的影响。

在这项研究中，我们挑战了人们普遍认为的虚拟会议疲劳表现为需求过载导致的疲惫（即主动疲劳）的观点，并提出参与虚拟会议可能会因刺激负荷不足而导致嗜睡（即被动疲劳）增加。使用主观和心脏测量（心率变异性），我们调查了44名知识工作者在现实生活会议中的虚拟会议与面对面会议以及不同类型疲劳（主动和被动）之间的关系（N=382）。我们的多层次路径分析揭示了虚拟会议与更高水平的被动疲劳之间的联系，从而影响认知表现。此外，我们的研究结果表明，工作参与度可能是个人层面的调节因素，解释了为什么一些知识工作者会受到影响，而其他人则不会。考虑到花在虚拟会议上的时间越来越多，这些发现强调了精神能量和认知表现的风险，并强调了高度普遍工作参与的保护作用。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
