Managers spend a majority of their days in face-to-face meetings so it is not surprising that meeting support is becoming an important focus of information technology. But meetings vary widely in size, duration, and location. Some are brief deskside meetings between two or three people, others are lengthy conference room meetings with a dozen or more participants. Thus, support needs may also vary by size, duration, and location. Surprisingly, past use-of-time studies have told us little about how meetings vary along these dimensions. We review the history of the early studies and present a new diary study to look at these dimensions and their relationships.

Data were collected on 15 job variables, related to four motivation aspects: job components, satisfaction levels, need for growth/achievement and goal participation/feedback. The results were compared to those of a similar survey for the same job types in the United States. The survey revealed that the work itself was ranked highest among 11 motivating factors, for both countries, In two job categories, middle management and analysts, Japanese respondents had responses significantly different from their U.S. counterparts. On the other dimensions the responses in Japan were similar to those in the United States. Cultural factors that might have affected the survey results are discussed.
