Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Contemporary organizations are constantly facing some degree of change in the fast-moving environment. Although organizations aim for better outcomes, not all changes produce favorable results, and immediate support from organizational members is critical for success. Social Information Processing (SIP) theory suggests employee attitudes are influenced by information available in the workplace. Yet, the theory does not provide the details on how social information is actually transmitted and processed. In order to describe the detailed process, a communication network perspective was incorporated into SIP theory in this study. Investigating both quantity and quality of social information through three different types of communication networks in a contemporary organization, data from 124 employees of a public library that was about to face budget cuts confirmed that the significant effect of both quantity and quality of social information from work-related networks on employee attitudes about change. In addition, those who access the Intranet more frequently and who read email more carefully tend to perceive information from the organization more useful, which, in turn, positively affects their attitudes. Further, the results showed that organizational knowledge serves as a mediator between the quantity of social information and attitudes about organizational change.
