Constitutive role of communication in organizations
- Constitutive role of communication in organizations
-
“Organization is an effect of communication not its predecessor” which is the focal point of the communication constitutive framework.[1] It identifies necessarily constitutive entities for the existence of a complex organization; in addition, the impact on society brought by circulating messages is explored in this framework. There are four distinct communicative flows in contributing to organizational constitution:
Organizational Self-Structuring
Reflexive self-structuring separates organizations from groupings. The process itself (i.e., internal relations, norms, and social entities) is vital instead of many forms of self-structuring.
Membership Negotiation
Only individuals can communicate when communication constitutes organization, so communication is important because it establishes and maintains its relationship with each of its members.
Activity coordination
The necessity of communication arises from adjusting the work process and resolving instant practical problems.
Institutional Positioning in the Social Order of Institutions
In inter-organizational or larger social system, communication outside the organization negotiates terms of recognition of the organization’s existence and place at the same time.
