The Upward Ethical Dissent Scale
Ethical problems in organizations tend to be some of the most public and devastating for members, organizations, and society. Meanwhile, upward dissent is a key mechanism through which wrongdoing can be detected and corrected. However, a confluence of forces suppresses and displaces ethical dissent in organizations. Research identified many of these influential dynamics through limited method approaches. Indeed, additional methodological tools ar…
She takes rest as seriously as working
Are resilient employees so tough that they neglect to rest? To answer this question, eleven extraordinarily resilient professional caregivers (positive deviants [PD]) were interviewed about their meanings and practices of rest. Additionally, five professionals who scored extremely low in resilience and four who were average were also interviewed. Analysis of interviews revealed that PD caregivers held multifaceted interpretive schema of rest. Nam…
Why do employees choose defensive silence
This study used structurational divergence theory (SDT) to explain why employees’ concerns with powerholders can encourage them to select defensive silence in their approach to workplace problems. A survey of working adults (N = 276) revealed employees who had a concern with powerholders were more likely to select defensive silence as compared to employees who were concerned about other types of workplace concerns. Results indicated that percepti…
Managing disruption(s) at work
This paper used communication theory of resilience (CTR) and high-reliability organization (HRO) theory to investigate the influence of resilience processes on disruption management outcomes (DMOs) at both the individual and team levels and at two points in time. Perceptions of individual and team stress, efficacy, and performance were examined longitudinally in surveys with working adults (N = 192, 151). Results indicated (a) communicative resil…
Weathering the Financial Storm
This project explores how team resilience enacted in the work domain shapes and is shaped by resilience practices in the non-work domain – a process we label, domain diffusion of resilience. Weather forecasters’ team, organizational, and professional work give rise to a resilient mentality, which then tends to manifest in their own non-work contexts. Qualitative data collected from a National Weather Service (NWS) forecaster team revealed that a …
High-reliability organizing and communication during naturalistic decision making
This study explores how a high-reliability team (HRT) employed an informal communication norm to facilitate access to members’ distributed expertise during forecast decisions, despite time pressures. The communication norm was documented during observations of U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) forecast team members’ naturalistic decision making (NDM) regarding forecasts. We labeled the norm, floating. Although NWS members did not have an explic…
The Micro-skills of Collective Communication Design Work
This case study documents how an academic team of mathematicians engaged in collective communication design work (CCDW) in order to improve how they communicated a process innovation to student stakeholders. The study, supported by interviews and observations, explains how team members worked together to develop structural and verbal strategies for sensebreaking student stakeholders’ preconceived notions about how college-level math should be tau…
Concertive resistance
This study describes how overlapping sources of identification allow organizational members to resist managerial influence collectively in the absence of overt talk or leadership communication – labeled here concertive resistance. Concertive resistance is exercised by organizational members according to a set of core group-level values which challenge, invert, or disrupt top-down control. Concertive resistance extends Barker’s [1993. “Tightening …
Four Flows theory and materiality
This paper extends Four Flows theory by showing how its agency-related assumptions can explain the role played by materials in the communicative constitution of organizations (CCO). Analysis of Dabiq – the propaganda periodical of ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) – illustrates how members of the complex organization engaged in activity coordination to position the organization through communication strategies such as instantiation, coo…
Scaling up to institutional entrepreneurship
This organizational life history documents how the founder of an elite gymnastics training organization led her organizational members to resist what she deemed to be unethical institutional influences prior to working toward changing those institutional practices. The study contributes the idea that institutional resistance leadership at the team and organizational levels can precede disruptive institutional entrepreneurship activities at the in…
Discursive positioning and planned change in organizations
This study uses discursive positioning theory to explore how planned change messages influence organizational members’ identity and the way they experienced organizational change. Based on an in-depth case study of a home healthcare and hospice organization that engaged in a multiyear planned change process, our analysis suggests that workers experienced salient change messages as constituting unfavorable identities, which were associated with th…
Recasting the Link Between Applied and Theory Research
Applied research, especially in the communication discipline, has been met with resistance and criticism by some who advocate adherence to theoretically-based research. This dilemma is exacerbated by ongoing debates among applied scholars about how to define applied research and how to conceptualize its relationship to theory development. Definitions emerging from these discussions yield two explanations—dialectical tension and interdependent—for…
