Summary

Abstract

Meetings offer an exciting gateway to dynamic social processes in organizations. During their meeting interactions, employees exchange information, build common ground, create new ideas, manage relationships, and make or break team climate. In this chapter, we highlight the potentials and possibilities for research on dynamic social processes during team meetings. Through the lens of a meetings researcher, we discuss how to address research questions and methodological issues in studying meeting interaction processes. By focusing on the observable behavioral conduct of meeting participants (i.e., their verbal communication), we show how micro-level interaction processes, emergent patterns, and the dynamics of social influence throughout a meeting can be revealed. The chapter includes a how-to guideline for researchers and practitioners interested in carrying out interaction analysis in team meetings. We illustrate our reasoning by providing data from a sample of 24 videotaped team meetings. Finally, we discuss limitations of behavioral research in team meetings. The chapter closes with a summary and future research questions in the area of dynamic social processes in organizational meetings.
