This study investigates the relationship between IP, Innovation Knowledge Management (IKM), which includes Innovation Culture (IC) and Knowledge Management (KM), and Supervisory Communication Frequency (SCF). SCF refers to the frequency and quality of communication between supervisors and subordinates, influencing the impact of IKM on IP. Using a structured questionnaire, 320 valid responses were collected from companies listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE). Data analysis employed Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Process Macro Model 1, with reliability and validity assessed based on criteria from Hair et al. and Fornell and Larcker. Discriminant validity was confirmed with construct correlations lower than the square root of the average variance extracted (AVE). Path analysis revealed significant differences in IP scores across SCF frequency groups (F (4, 315) = 12.47, p < .001), with three monthly interactions showing the highest mean IP score (M = 3.6905, SD = 0.9375). These findings highlight the importance of regular supervisor-employee interactions alongside robust KM and IC practices for optimal innovation outcomes.

Among the most frequently occurring needs LGBTQIA individuals sought in prospective employers were to feel (in order of prominence): “included,” “comfortable,” “safe,” “supported,” and “secure,” in organizations where employers “respected” and “communicated” “transparently” with all workers; qualities mentioned more often than “equal treatment” and “access to help.” Like all employees, LGBTQIA individuals begin to form (pre)employment communication understandings and practices starting with a first job (as teenagers) where early preemployment communication experiences can affect later employment communication practices. Implications for positive employment recruiting communication and for future positive employment communication practices with LGBTQIA individuals are offered.","PeriodicalId":510353,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Business Communication","volume":"60 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141798998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For decades, researchers in business communication have predominantly explored the problems, challenges, and issues facing organizations and leadership communication. Whether those include exploring the nature of crisis (e.g, Waller & Iluzada), communication responses and outcomes of sexual harassment (e.g., Mills & Scudder), or the role of internal communication in culture creation (e.g., Yue, Men, & Ferguson), researchers’ theoretical and methodological lenses are often used to critique, point to, or reveal the problematic nature of business life. In this special issue, we want to celebrate the extraordinary, what works well in organizations, and the nature of positive communication and its inspirational force for people and organizations. Specifically, we argue that Positive Communication Scholarship should inspire better practice. To support this endeavor, we begin with a brief history of the positive communication movement in the field of communication. Then, using this history, we define positive communication scholarship and describe what it will help our discipline accomplish. We also introduce the articles featured in this special issue, advance an agenda for future research, and end with a call to action.","PeriodicalId":510353,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Business Communication","volume":"41 52","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141800180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, we conducted a scoping review following the PRISMA-guidelines. A systematic literature search in four databases yielded 3,055 records. Our final sample included 164 publications reporting on 178 quantitative studies (207,181 participants and 3,740 organizations). We extracted information regarding publication details, the content of the record, and the sample from eligible records. Blind spots relate to lacking research (a) outside the U.S., (b) in communication journals, (c) from strong author networks, (d) regarding single LGBT+ dimensions and intersectionality, (e) regarding less obvious forms of employee communication, (f) regarding longitudinal, experimental, research synthesizing, and observational approaches, (g) on other variables than job satisfaction, well-being, or commitment, and (h) on communication theories including LGBT+. For research in the field to thrive, we provide guidance for tackling these blind spots.","PeriodicalId":510353,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Business Communication","volume":"41 15","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141270235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
