To expand the communication apprehension (CA) literature and to examine the occupational behavior of individuals, a model of CA, job level held, communication requirements of jobs, and job satisfaction was developed. A total of 601 employees who had attended a career planning workshop were sent a questionnaire designed, among other purposes, to investigate the model. All but one of the relevant LISREL path weights were significant and in the predicted direction. Implications for practice and for theory were discussed, along with areas for future research.
