Abstract

ABSTRACT Addressing the challenges of workplace communications, this empirical study asks if mobile communication devices—especially mobile phones—offer an effective means for employees to both improve the effectiveness of dialogue and overcome barriers in engaging with employers. Dialogue between employees and employers is defined as social action within the social structure of the enterprise.
