Communication Roles in Organizations: Some Potential Antecedents and Consequences.

摘要

This paper expands on one part of a larger research program concerned with organizational communication discussed in AD A013 675. The purpose is to examine a set of potential antecedent (demographic and personality) and consequent (perceived communication, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and job performance) variables possibly associated with the communication roles (isolate or participant) people occupy at work. The findings indicate that communication isolates and participants are differentiable in terms of affective and behavioral responses to work. Suggestions for future research are offered.
