“…The results of this study suggest an association between communication and personal satisfaction in student collective work. The findings confirmed prior studies which argued that communication openness contributes to job satisfaction and team learning (Breen, Fetzer, Howard & Preziosi, 2005;Rogers, 1987); information sharing is positive related to team success (Wittenbaum, Hollingshead, Paulus, Hirokawa, Ancona, Peterson, Jehn & Yoon, 2004); and proactive communication results in better team performance and greater satisfaction amongst teammates (Lancellotti & Boyd, 2008). Thus, the extent of communication appears to enhance students' overall satisfaction.…”

The increasing popularity of team structures in business environment coupled with the common practice of including group projects/assignments in university curricula means that business schools should direct efforts towards maximizing team as well as personal results. Yet, most frameworks for studying teams center exclusively on team level outcomes to address organizational needs. Far fewer studies have examined effectiveness at individual team member level in an educational context. The quantitative study on which this paper is based investigated the impact of team process on the effectiveness of individual satisfaction in group work amongst business students in Hong Kong with work group effectiveness and management educational literature providing the theoretical background. The study surveyed 489 university business students and revealed that all three team process factors, namely workload sharing, mutual support and communication play a positive and significant role in individual satisfaction in team settings.

“…The literature review allowed us to draw on the importance of both confidence and communication as key concepts of adult learning that are closely related to personal competences. Communication as a means of ‘learning transfer’ (Taylor et al ., 2009) has its various aspects and manifestations, which relate to concepts such as listening (Brunner, 2008), knowledge sharing (Mei et al ., 2004; de Vries et al ., 2006), understanding (McClain, 2002), problem solving (Breen et al ., 2005) and collaborative learning (van der Veen, 2006). Kontiainen's DCA method (Kontiainen, 2002) 1 suggests a method that can be used to analyse adult learning concepts by defining relationships between them, which appear in the so‐called information matrix.…”

This paper demonstrates the use of conceptual modelling to assist with the competence development of adult learners with interrupted occupational and learning careers. The research introduces a self-evaluation approach used with a group of adult female students in the United Kingdom. The study aimed at increasing learners' awareness of the qualities and nature of their individual learning processes. The paper applies Kontiainen's dynamic concept analysis modelling method as a tool to assist individual students in the evaluation of their personal competences in learning. The findings of the current study suggest that providing adult learners with opportunities to evaluate their own competences may facilitate a process of making their skills visible to themselves as well as to their tutors and employers. This aims to increase their motivation to use and develop their competences. The paper provides an example and a demonstration of the self-evaluation process in action illustrated by two case studies.

“…Organizational communication refers to the process of a series of information transmission activities carried out by corporate members to achieve corporate goals (Breen et al, 2005). As long as the information exchange is for work purposes, whether it is within the enterprise or between the enterprise and the outside world, it belongs to the category of organizational communication (Fragale et al, 2012).…”

Senior managers can influence the cognition and behavior of other members of the enterprise by formulating informatization strategies and initiating informatization reforms, thereby affecting the success or failure of enterprise informatization. This paper establishes a model of the influence mechanism of the level of executive support on the performance of enterprise informatization. Taking enterprises in Guangdong Province, China as the survey object, through a three-stage questionnaire survey, 419 valid questionnaires were obtained. This paper shows that: executive support has a positive impact on team entrepreneurial passion. Executive support is the antecedent variable of enterprise informatization reform, and informatization reform plays an intermediary role between the executive support variables and informatization performance variables. Organizational communication plays a moderating role between informatization reform and informatization performance. This will improve the guiding theories in the field of organizational behavior and provide new ideas for the construction of the mechanism model of informatization performance.
