Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Organizational change has received growing attention along with the continuing development of office technology and today’s fast-moving global business environment. However, there is still limited amount of research from communication perspectives. Successful organizational change involves employees’ positive attitudes. Although social information processing (SIP) theory (Salancik & Pfeffer, 1978) suggests that employee attitudes are influenced by available social information in the office, it provides little articulation on the actual communication process including employees’ active communication behaviors. In an organization, both formal and informal communication is exchanged on different types of communication networks. Not surprisingly, these types of networks are also established and maintained by electronic communication today. Using SIP theory as a theoretical framework, a new model is developed to reflect organizational reality. The new model will provide an updated communication perspective to studies on organizational change from both the individual and organizational levels.
