Description: The objectives of this volume are to provide a general structure for students, scholars, and practitioners to obtain comprehensive information on recently published and unpublished literature in and related to the field of organizational communication; to continue to develop a classification system for the literature of interest to that field; and to provide abstracts of that literature for the year 1977 in the form of annotated bibliographies. Following an overview chapter that comments on the nature of the organizational communication literature produced in 1977, the second chapter contains abstracts of approximately 500 books and dissertations, and the third chapter contains abstracts of more than 300 papers, articles, and United States government publications. The abstracts in each chapter are arranged into nine classifications: (1) interpersonal communication, (2) intergroup communication, (3) intragroup communication, (4) communication factors and organization goals, (5) skill improvement and training, (6) communication media, (7) communication system analysis, (8) research methodology, and (9) texts, anthologies, reviews, and general bibliographies. The book also provides an appendix that discusses research methods and limitations and indexes for author, type of organization studied, and data collection instruments used in the studies. (FL).
