The Emergence and Management of Role Ambiguity in a Collegiate Basketball Team
Role ambiguity—the lack of clear, consistent information regarding one’s role, responsibilities, or position—is a critical factor in team sports in which alignment of roles is vital to collective performance and team success. However, how role ambiguity evolves over time and is managed is understudied. This qualitative longitudinal investigation examined how role ambiguities emerged and impacted the members of a National Collegiate Athletic Assoc…
Organizational Coordination and Communication
We identify, and then attempt to redress, four problematic issues in the organizational coordination literature. First, we distinguish coordinating as the overarching process, coordinating mechanisms as the structures that are brought to bear, and coordination as the in situ interaction. Second, we explicate and distinguish coordinating mechanism from coordination, and reframe the myriad mechanisms in past research into three levels of consciousn…
New Directions for Functional, Symbolic Convergence, Structuration, and Bona Fide Group Perspectives of Group Communication
Work and Family in Copreneurial Family Businesses Extending and Integrating Communication Research
Family businesses, especially the enterprises of married couples or copreneurial businesses, are a unique, but largely ignored, context in which work and family domains are intrinsically intertwined. Indeed, scholars from other disciplines who study copreneurial and family businesses have called for investigations from multiple perspectives including communication. We review the literature linking work and family life within the arena of married …
Extending the Conversational Argument Coding Scheme in Studies of Argument Quality in Group Deliberations
The Conversational Argument Coding Scheme (CACS) has not only enabled a considerable amount of research involving interpersonal and group argument, but it also has been modified and extended as an outgrowth of researchers' use of the coding scheme. That relationship also has been true in group argument research conducted by Structuration Argument Theory investigators, especially in their line of work on the quality of arguments in group deliberat…
Origins and Development of the Conversational Argument Coding Scheme
This article discusses the conceptual and methodological origins of the Conversational Argument Coding Scheme (CACS). The article first reviews the impulse for development of this content analysis scheme as part of structuration theory work in communication during the late 1970s and early 1980s, especially within the structuration approach to argument in group deliberations. We also position those conceptual efforts in the context of other schola…

Argument and Decision Making in Computer-Mediated Groups
Following Gouran (1994), the authors proposed four hypotheses that predict the probability of computer-mediated groups (CMGs) endorsing proposals based on (a) the number of reasons offered for them, (b) the number of members advancing these reasons, (c) the net number of positive reactions to the reasons advanced, and (d) the development of support for the reasons. Results from 11 groups that had long collaborated exclusively through computer-med…
Group performance and collaborative technology
This study examined changes in members' satisfaction with group processes as they worked together over time to complete a series of seven group tasks. Members of 10 groups (N=58) communicated with each other using a computer‐based collaborative technology over a 10‐week period. Satisfaction with group processes was partitioned into individual and group levels with Hierarchical Linear Modeling, and information quality and contribution equity were …
Communication‐related organizational structures and work group temporal experiences
This study explores how differences in three communication‐related structures central to organizational work—coordination methods, workplace technologies, and feedback cycles—influence organizational members' experience of eleven dimensions of time—flexibility, linearity, pace, punctuality, delay, scheduling, separation, scarcity, urgency, and present and future time perspectives. Analyses of data from five residential services departments in a W…
Organizational assimilation and communication technology use
Studies of organizational members' assimilation information seeking have focused on traditional channels for uncertainty reduction (e.g., face‐to‐face communication and traditional technologies like employee handbooks) and on the experiences of newcomers. This investigation extends organizational assimilation research by examining a variety of socialization experiences (not just those of newcomers) and by considering Advanced Communication and In…
Organizational Communication Research
This chapter summarizes the state of theory and research in organizational communication. The authors highlight the central concerns and major challenges addressed by organizational communication researchers. They begin by isolating the central intellectual and practical currents, and then they identify defining and constituting concepts in organizational communication. The chapter concludes with the authors’ proposals of fruitful areas for futur…
Female and Male Managers' and Professionals' Criticism Giving
Study 1 investigated differences in the language used by 86 female and male middle managers and career professionals during role plays of criticism that they had recently voiced to a colleague. Discriminant analysis revealed significant differences in language use, permitting 72% accurate gender reclassification. The language features more indicative of men were number of words, negations, questions, judgmental adjectives, references to emotion, …
Reconceptualizing Organizational Change Implementation as a Communication Problem
Organizational scholars have acknowledged the importance of communication processes in explanations for organizational change processes, but have focused primarily on the invention, design, adoption, and responses to planned changes. Communication perspectives have largely ignored the means by which change programs are installed and by which users come to learn of such programs. The goal of this chapter is to demonstrate how a communication persp…
Jurors' intuitive rules for deliberation
Consistent with growing interest in bona fide groups and taking a structurational approach to members’ appropriation of rules for decision making, this study was an investigation of potential jurors’ intuitive rules for deliberation. Following a summary, critique, and reconceptualization of jury research, we discuss five communicative challenges juries face in the course of their deliberations (selecting a leader, agreeing on voting procedures, d…
Communication during intraorganizational innovation adoption
Much empirical evidence suggests that explanations for innovation outcomes should be located in an understanding of users' responses to innovations (Ashford, 1988; Fulk, 1993; Lewis & Seibold, 1993; Miller, Johnson, & Grau, 1994; Poole & DeSanctis, 1990). Unfortunately, researchers have neglected to pursue systematic studies of behavioral responses to innovations in accounting for particular innovation outcomes. The investigation reported draws o…

Issues for a Theory of High-Speed Management
Theoretical Frameworks for the Study of Structuring Processes in Group Decision Support Systems
Most theoretical perspectives used to explain the use and effects of communication and decision support technologies assume some form of technological determinism. Inconsistencies in the research findings have prompted theorists to reject the assumptions of technological determinism in favor of an emergent perspective. To date, only adaptive Structuration theory (AST) offers the promise of satisfying two requirements for explanation based on an e…
Perspectives on Group Argument
This chapter summarizes a program of research undertaken to examine a prominent cognitive-informational theory of group argument—persuasive arguments theory (PAT). An examination of PAT seems especially germane for communication researchers, for PAT predicts particular group outcomes without direct analysis of interaction. Four tasks are undertaken in this chapter. First, key assumptions of two metatheoretical approaches to argument-the cognitive…

Group decision‐making as a structurational process
This essay presents a theory of group decision‐making. Utilizing recent advances in structuration theory, which focuses on the production and reproduction of social systems through the application of generative rules and resources, the new conceptualization is presented and its advantages over previous formulations are explored. Results from an ongoing research program are summarized as partial substantiation of the perspective
A comparison of normative and interactional explanations of group decision‐making
Research on group decision‐making in speech communication has assumed interaction processes are important determinants of group decisions. However, major psychological theories of group decision‐making challenge this assumption. This study tested a prominent social psychological theory, Davis's Social Decision Scheme Model, against an interaction‐based model of group decision‐making, the Valence Distribution Model recently developed by McPhee, Po…
Compliance‐gaining message strategies
The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible control strategies a persuader may use and to determine how situational differences affect a persuader's strategic choices. By modifying an earlier study of Marwell and Schmitt, dimensions of control strategies were sought in four situations: interpersonal, long‐term consequences; interpersonal, short‐term consequences; nonin‐terpersonal, long‐term consequences; and noninterpersonal, short…

Commonality Analysis
Commonality analysis is a procedure for decomposing R2 in multiple regression analyses into the percent of variance in the dependent variable associated with each independent variable uniquely, and the proportion of explained variance associated with the common effects of predictors. Commonality analysis thus sheds additional light on the magnitude of an obtained multivariate relationship by identifying the relative importance of all independent …
Stigma Management in Normal-Stigmatized Interactions
This study explored the efficacy of disclosure as a stigma management strategy in normal-stigmatized interactions. A laboratory experiment was conducted using confederates to simulate three classes of stigmas. As predicted, reactions of normals (nonstigmatized subjects) were uniform across stigmas. While there is some indication that disclosure may reduce uncertainty in normal-stigmatized interactions, no support obtained for the hypothesis that …
Communication Research and the Attitude-Verbal Report-Overt Behavior Relationship
Although communication theory provides a significant rationale for the relationship of messages to both attitudes and behaviors, relatively few researchers have examined systematically the effects of communication on attitude statements and related behaviors. Those studies which have assessed communication effects on both classes of behavior have yielded conflicting findings concerning verbal report-overt behavior correspondence, as well as the r…
