Learning from COVID-19: Revisiting Organizational Communications from the Bottom-up
ABSTRACT What started as a general survey regarding frontline worker experiences with their public library’s resumption of services following the spring lockdown of 2020, became a case study in a breakdown in communications between management and frontline staff at one of North America’s largest public library systems. Specifically, survey respondents described a range of feelings, perceptions and assumptions regarding management’s concerns for their personal health and safety against the library’s goal of resuming public services. Media Richness Theory (MRT) provided the ideal analytic tool with which to interpret the results of this survey, while theoretically reinforcing respondents’ recommendations for amelioration, and reinstating the value of MRT for effective organizational communications.
期刊介绍:
Public Libraries Quarterly is addressed to leaders-directors, managers, staff, trustees, and friends-who believe that change is imperative if public libraries are to fulfill their service missions in the twenty-first century. In PLQ, directors and operating officers tell how they accomplished change. The journal examines: •best practices and models to improve service •management case studies-with results and failures •library mythologies that retard individual and institutional development •studies of how to plan results and accomplish desired outcomes •marketing and fund-raising tools that work •budget and financial analysis tools and tips
