a survey of 1,900 business leaders, found that almost 72 percent of

individuals currently spend more time in meetings than they did


sp.
5 years ago. In addition, more than 49 percent surveyed expect to be
sp.
spending even more time in meetings 4 years from now. Given

these statistics indicating the rise in frequency of and time spent in

meetings, it behooves us to ask whether increased meeting load is

indeed beneficial for the organization & the individual employee.

Meetings as interruption and hassles ¶Daily hassles. Defines as

“annoying episodes in which daily tasks become more difficult or

anticipated than demanding ,” hassles have been found to

predict stress symptoms better than most other predictor variables.

Varying from equipment malfunction to inappropriate behavior of

coworkers, such obstacles predict an array of stress-related effects,

including burnout, anxiety, depression, & other negative

emotions.

Interruptions. When employees were prevented from finishing a

task, they resumed the task when given the freedom to do so. In
interrupted
addition, tasks were recalled more frequently than finished tasks.

A study also revealed that the volume of work did not have a direct
effect on perceived role over load but instead was mediated through

interruption.
