About this book

The Handbook of Organizational Communication Theory and Research offers concise, but thorough reviews of important research on traditional and emerging areas in organizational communication. Section One, Theory and Methods, provides an overview of the field’s history, prominent theories, and methodologies. Section Two, Processes, focuses on primal processes, such as leadership, organizational entry, conflict, power, and inclusion. Section Three, Contexts, focuses on the settings where organizational communication occurs, including teams and workgroups, networks, and organizational structure. Section Four, Technology, considers the development and introduction of new media and intelligent technologies into organizations. The final section, Emerging Areas, addresses communication issues associated with changing environmental, social, and political upheavals, including wellness, corporate social responsibility, and crisis response. The Handbook of Organizational Communication Theory and Research covers topics of pressing interest to current scholars and practitioners, many of which have not been addressed in previous handbooks.
  • Thirty chapters covering a wide range of topics and issues in organizational communication
  • Many current topics that are not included in previous handbooks, including wellness and crisis response

Reviews

"Once in a decade, a handbook of organizational communication is compiled that integrates specialist insights and general interest topics. This 4th handbook of Organizational Communication stands out by incorporating exciting new research areas like AI. It is an indispensable resource for scholars and students of the field."
Michelle Dawn Shumate, Delaney Family University Research Professor, Northwestern University

"This Handbook accomplishes the seemingly impossible: Bringing novelty to the stories of this heterogeneous field’s history, highlighting nascent themes of traditional foci, and expanding both conceptual boundaries and analytical agendas. Miller and Poole urged the field’s intellectual leaders to imagine alternative futures for both their topics and the field as a whole; as a result, the volume is a monumental achievement and a significant resource for the field."
Timothy Kuhn, Professor, Dept of Communication, University of Colorado Boulder

"Herein lies a bedrock of innovative ideas, creative theories, and ground-breaking methods on which the next generation of organizational communication scholarship, research, and practical applications will be built. This treasure chest of state-of-the-art research findings, innovative theoretical musings, and creative methods articulated by our field's leading scholars will shape the future of the discipline for the next decade."
Peter Monge and Janet Fulk, Emeritus Professors of Communication, Annenberg School of Communication, and Emeritus Professors of Management and Organization, Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California
