PRESENTATION
The field of organizational communication develops at the interface of other areas of study such as Psychology, Sociology, Linguistics and Administration. Many concepts were imported (or borrowed) from other disciplinary fields and contributed to their theoretical consolidation, such as, for example, the influence of organizational studies and Organization Theory in the formation of organizational communication.
Thus, from the 50s onwards important investigations on this theme emerged, which stand out, historically, for their interest in identifying and classifying practices related to communication in the scope of organizations, as well as in mapping the studies that would initiate the so-called scientific field of organizational communication, among which the large volume of publications originating in the United States stands out.
If on the one hand organizational communication had been enriched, or nourished by the already consolidated studies developed by other areas, on the other hand, the incorporation of these without proper adaptation or critical reflection brought with it a misshapen and sometimes operational (peripheral) conception of communication, focused on organizational efficiency.
It is observed, in the Brazilian scenario, a diversity of theoretical perspectives, or paradigms that underlie the investigations in Organizational Communication and that move between the classical strands: functionalist, interpretive, critical, postmodern, feminist. But, in addition to the classical approaches, Brazilian research also stands out for the development of original theoretical-methodological approaches, such as Integrated Organizational Communication, the introduction of other currents, such as the Paradigm of Complexity in the studies of Organizational Communication, the dialogical perspective of Organizational Communication, the systemic perspective and the Theory of Co-orientation.
In this sense, we invite researchers who are dedicated to the theme of Organizational Communication to submit their proposals to this Thematic Dossier. Among the approaches sought – but not exclusively – are expected contributions that deal with:
Organizational communication from the Brazilian perspective: emerging perspectives, theories and methodologies;
- Research in Organizational Communication in Brazil: theoretical and applied approaches;
- Theories, methodologies and paradigms used in research in Organizational Communication in Brazil;
- Contributions and influences of Brazilian perspectives to global studies in Organizational Communication;
- Proposals focused on research and pioneering researchers in Organizational Communication in Brazil and its importance to the field of Organizational Communication;
- Interfaces between Public Relations and Organizational Communication in research, professional performance and academic training in Brazil;
