Abstract

This study examines observers' perceptions of employees eating during virtual work meetings. Using a 2 × 3 experimental design, participants (N = 842) were randomly assigned to one of three eating conditions including no one eating, target eating, and everyone eating where they rated either a male or female target. While existing research has demonstrated positive consequences of sharing food in the traditional workplace, our findings demonstrate that individuals who eat during virtual work meetings are perceived as less professional, less competent, and less likely to experience career success. Observers' perceptions of the eater's professionalism are negatively impacted, regardless of whether the target is the only one eating or whether everyone is eating. We offer practical suggestions for HRM professionals working to help managers and employees understand the nuances of videoconferencing.

关于虚拟会议期间的饮食问题的思考。
本研究探讨了观察者对员工在虚拟工作会议期间进食的看法。采用 2 × 3 的实验设计,将参与者(N = 842)随机分配到三种进食条件中的一种,包括无人进食、目标进食和所有人都进食,并对男性或女性目标进行评分。现有研究表明,在传统工作场所分享食物会产生积极影响,而我们的研究结果则表明,在虚拟工作会议期间吃东西的人被认为不够专业、能力较差,而且不太可能取得事业成功。观察者对进食者专业性的看法会受到负面影响,无论目标人物是一个人进食还是所有人都在进食。我们为人力资源管理专业人士提供了实用建议,帮助管理人员和员工了解视频会议的细微差别。
