N2 - As remote-work employees increasingly participate in virtual meetings with personal devices in personal settings, camera use becomes discrepant among group members when someone turns it on while others are off. However, it remains unknown how one-way visual communication, referred to as a discrepant visibility context in this study, affects attendees’ task-related behavior. Drawing on experiential learning theory and a social reasoning perspective, this study investigates how attendees’ subjective experience of discrepant visibility contexts affects their perceived dominance, which further affects their social loafing behavior. This study contributes to a nuanced understanding of virtual meeting use in digital workplaces. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.
