This comprehensive handbook features work on organizational communication research, authored by the leading scholars in the field. This broad-based overview is intended for both students, scholars, and professionals. It is organized into three sections that present the theoretical and methodological directions of the field along with insights into the future growth of new communications technologies and their effects on public and private sector organizations. The volume addresses many questions: What is the current state of the discipline? How do we define the parameters of organizational communication? What paradigms and philosophical approaches define this field? What theoretical propositions have evolved from the past two decades of research in organizational communication? What research trends and themes have been supported and discounted? Where is there agreement among scholars? Where is there differentiation among viewpoints? What direction is current and future research taking in the field?
