Does my attitude toward meetings matter? The impact of supervisors' and team members' team meeting attitudes on counterproductive meeting behaviour and outcomes

Team meeting attitudes and counterproductive meeting behaviour are important predictors of meeting success. However, the link between team meeting attitudes and counterproductive meeting behaviour has not been studied yet. This study aims to examine positive team meeting attitudes as a predictor of counterproductive meeting behaviour, which in turn, is expected to negatively impact individual (i.e., employees' emotional strain) and team (i.e., meeting effectiveness and team performance) outcomes. Using team data and multilevel modelling, we further analyse the importance of supervisors' team meeting attitudes for team members' team meeting attitudes and meeting success. Results supported that team meeting attitudes of supervisors, teams, and individual team members are negatively linked to counterproductive meeting behaviour, which in turn, is negatively linked to meeting effectiveness and team performance as well as positively linked to emotional strain.
