Abstract
The last decade has seen an unprecedented progress in advanced information technology (AIT), such as emails and/ or videoconferencing systems (VCS). The technological progression trend and especially the COVID-19 pandemic shaped the current organizational culture into adopting these technologies. The present research aims to understand the ramifications of such technologies, specifically employee attitudes towards VCS. The current study suggests analysing said attitudes through the lens of two types of meetings: one-way low engagement and dynamic high engagement. Additional emphasis is placed on hierarchical leadership within these online environments and employee perceptions towards them. The study is guided by a constructivist approach. 15 interviews were carried out throughout the whole research team, 5 of which were analysed in this paper. Thematic analysis was employed to establish overarching themes within the interviews. The main research themes encompass convenience and comfort of VCS, decline in engagement, chaotic online environment, elimination of social aspects and shifting leadership position.
