Communication cues play an important role in the development of satisfaction within an organization. Communication in most of the related studies has been considered as a one-dimensional construct, while the present study specifically proposed formal and informal communication as predictors of communication satisfaction. Furthermore, although literature introduced job satisfaction as a great predictor of OCB, the present study takes one more step forward and proposes communication satisfaction as an antecedent of OCB. These relationships were tested by 231 survey completed by respondents from Electrical Manufacturing industry in Iran. Formal communication and informal communication were found to predict communication satisfaction. Besides, communication satisfaction was a strong predictor of all dimensions of OCB.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
