Identity And Technology: Organizational Control Of Knowledge-Intensive Work, Guowei Jian
Identity And Technology: Organizational Control Of Knowledge-Intensive Work, Guowei Jian
Guowei Jian
Much has been written about the functioning of managerial ideologies in identity-based organizational control. However, less attention has been given to the role of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and identity defined by a technological discourse in regulating knowledge-intensive work. The purpose of this research is to examine the roles of identity and ICTs in the control of knowledge-intensive work. A case study of a technology service organization reveals that the construction and consumption of a technologist identity operate as organizational control, and that ICTs enable the functioning of a dialectic of technological control. This study also demonstrates the paradoxical …

Talk Matters At Work: The Effects Of Leader Member Conversational Quality And Communication Frequency On Work Role Stressors, Guowei Jian, Francis Dalisay
Guowei Jian
Although it is clear that leadership plays a significant role in followers’ psychological health, the specific mechanisms by which leadership effects may take place await further theorizing and investigation. We argue that communication practices may constitute such specific mechanisms. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine how leader-member conversational quality (LMCQ) and communication frequency are associated with members’ perception of work role stressors. Through an online survey, the study found that LMCQ has a significant predictive effect on work role ambiguity and role overload. However, LMCQ interacts with communication frequency in their effects on role conflict. These findings …
Voicing Complaints In The Public Arena, Leo Jeffres, Guowei Jian, David Atkin
Voicing Complaints In The Public Arena, Leo Jeffres, Guowei Jian, David Atkin
Guowei Jian
This study draws on several literatures--the Tichenor et al. (1980) pluralism model stressing community constraints, the spiral of silence literature stressing the importance of the climate of communication, and the currently popular emphasis on democratic discussion in the "public sphere." In the Tichenor et al. (1980) model, media stress consensus and avoid conflict in more homogeneous communities. Here we extend the issue to question whether community characteristics affect perceptions of the climate of communication and one's comfort in voicing complaints in public. The results present some support for existing theory as well as some contradictions.

Women, Kin-Keeping And The Inscription Of Gender In Mediated Communication Environments., Julie Dare
Women, Kin-Keeping And The Inscription Of Gender In Mediated Communication Environments., Julie Dare
Julie Dare Dr
The notion of the Internet as a transformative communications platform, through which concepts such as embodiment, gender, and identity can be transcended, deconstructed, or subverted, represents an enduring theme in communications literature over the last two decades.1 Underpinning early analyses was the premise that new opportunities presented by the Internet were driving innovative communication and behavioral practices. For example, the ability to interact anonymously opened the door for identity play and gender swapping, the implications of which, as Nancy Baym suggests, were "theoretically intoxicating"

Online Credibility And Digital Ethos: Approaches For Evaluating And Incorporating Networked Information In The Digital Age, Shawn Apostel, Moe Folk
Shawn Apostel
With the near-ubiquity of smartphones, tablets, and laptops, access to acquiring and publishing online information has never been easier; however, with this advance in information technology comes new challenges for content providers to establish credibility and for students, researchers, and consumers to develop effective ways of evaluating online credibility. For example, students and instructors in writing classes across the world face challenges in creating research projects that did not exist even a decade ago. These issues are not just affecting American universities; therefore, this book addresses an international audience by offering approaches to evaluating the credibility of digital sources, including …

Communication Center Ethos: Remediating Space, Encouraging Collaboration, Shawn Apostel, Russell Carpenter
Russell Carpenter
The role of ethos in the communication process as discussed by Michael Hyde in The Ethos of Rhetoric suggests we reexamine the role of space in the Communication Center. Such a space should be created to facilitate and nurture the speech-composing and practicing process through feedback from individuals or groups while also allowing students to move from public to private places. Our chapter will address this use of space by utilizing research conducted in the groundbreaking Noel Studio for Academic Creativity. Our research uses control and experimental groups from communication classes to investigate the relationship between space and oral communication

Unlearning Rules And Embracing Creativity: Using Prezi To Rethink Powerpoint, Shawn Apostel
Shawn Apostel
As instructors, we should encourage our students to think rhetorically about visual presentation aids instead of relying on simple, prescriptive rules of design. Prezi provides us with a unique opportunity to rethink the way we use PowerPoint.

Verbal Rumination In Close Relationships, Donna Henson
Verbal Rumination In Close Relationships, Donna Henson
Donna Henson
This article introduces the concept of verbal rumination. The current study investigated the possibility that ruminative thought translates to an interpersonal verbal behavior characterized by repetitive communication that is potentially aversive to both an individual and his or her partner. An initial measure of verbal rumination (VR) was developed and the adequacy of the resultant scale was evaluated. Analyses revealed four distinct types of verbal rumination behavior. These were labeled as positivity, redundant rehashing, prospective pessimism, and fretting. In brief, positivity refers to communication about happy, positive events that have happened in the past or are anticipated to occur in …
