  • IPCC - Emerging leadership opportunities for Professional Communication: Integrating social justice into research and across the curriculum
    IEEE International Professonal Communication 2013 Conference, 2013
    Co-Authors: Jon A. Leydens
    Abstract:

    Previous research has indicated that in Professional Communication research, social justice principles play substantive yet often veiled, tacit roles. For instance, residing within Professional Communication research on matters of public policy are multiple opportunities to meaningfully engage social justice principles. Beyond research, additional engagement opportunities exist within Professional Communication instruction. The dearth of explicit accentuation of social justice principles in Professional Communication scholarship and perhaps also teaching raises important questions: How can Professional Communication researchers and instructors redefine and transcend the borders between their work and social justice? In what ways are Professional Communication scholars and practitioners uniquely situated to forge explicit connections between their work and social justice? How might Professional Communication faculty transcend teaching highly utilitarian courses? How might instructional content on broad social justice impacts enrich and enliven Professional Communication instruction? After providing social justice definitions, this paper focuses on answers to those questions. Each Professional Communication researcher or instructor role is buffeted by a brief explanation of specific cases in which connecting explicitly to social justice constructs would expand and enhance research or teaching. Professional risks and benefits for making such linkages are also discussed.

  • IPCC - What does Professional Communication research have to do with social justice? Intersections and sources of resistance
    2012 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference, 2012
    Co-Authors: Jon A. Leydens
    Abstract:

    A brief review of literature indicates that Professional Communication scholars have had a complex, veiled relation with social justice. It is important to better understand the origins of that relation. After briefly contrasting the degree to which social justice has been explicitly integrated in Professional Communication and three related disciplines, this paper describes potential sources of resistance to incorporating social justice constructs into Professional Communication research. In Professional Communication, these sources of resistance are associated with ideologies that circulate within engineering, scientific, and technical contexts: the apolitical myth, ingroup bias, and technical-social dualism. In addition to exploring those three reasons why Professional Communication researchers generally avoid foregrounding social justice as an explicit component of their research, the paper also considers deviations from that norm by describing the work of pioneers who are integrating social justice in Professional Communication research. The implications of these pioneers will be discussed.

  • Introduction to the special section: Professional Communication in Russia
    IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication, 1994
    Co-Authors: H.s. Lantsberg
    Abstract:

    There is a rising interest within the world community in what is occurring in Professional Communication in Russia, and in the social and market opportunities that will appear there in the future. We live in a world in which the pace of change is more rapid than at any time in our history. The most important aspect of this change is the fact that we are making a transition to a democratic society at the same time as we are in the process of establishing the principles of a market economy. Russia is a country with enormous reserves of raw materials, vast territories, and rich intellectual resources. And now, as Russia is experiencing a painful transition to a market economy, the nation's economic potential becomes more and more dependent on the sophistication of its infrastructure. That is the reason why the information technologies and Professional Communication have become key factors of social progress. The Russian centers of research and industry are widely dispersed geographically, in such cities as Vladivostok, Irkutsk, Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Ekaterinburg, Saint Petersburg and Moscow. The last three or four years have seen a sharp increase in the demands for business information, electronic mail and Communications for far-flung business and financial operations. >

  • Professional Communication and information resources in the USSR
    IPCC 91 Proceedings The Engineered Communication, 1991
    Co-Authors: H.s. Lantsberg
    Abstract:

    Describes the problems associated with the creation, structure, development, and activities of the SSSTI (State System for Scientific/Technical Information) and discusses the role and aims of scientific and technical institutes and centers in the USSR. The author also considers the development of the state's computerized system of scientific and technical information, development of access to foreign information sources, and the development of information theory and computer science in the USSR. In addition, the development of laws on the use of information resources is discussed, and the role and the activity of the All-Union Science and Engineering Popov Society for Radio, Electronics and Communications, as well as the Popov Society Section on Professional Communication are emphasized. The importance of further development of cooperation between the IEEE and the Popov Society, and especially between the IEEE Professional Communication Society and the Professional Communication Section of the Popov Society, is emphasized. >

  • Professional Communication networks and job satisfaction in primary care clinics
    Annals of Family Medicine, 2019
    Co-Authors: Marlon P Mundt, Larissa I Zakletskaia
    Abstract:

    PURPOSE Whereas Communication among health care Professionals plays an important role in providing the best quality of care for primary care patients, little evidence exists regarding how Professional Communication contributes to job satisfaction among health care providers, including physicians and clinical staff, in primary care clinics. This study evaluates the extent to which Professional Communication networks contribute to job satisfaction among health care Professionals in primary care clinics. METHODS A total of 143 health care Professionals, including physicians and clinical staff, at 5 US primary care clinics participated in a cross-sectional survey on their Communication connections regarding patient care with other care team members and their job satisfaction. Social network analysis calculated core-periphery measures to identify individuals located in a dense cohesive core and in a sparse, loosely connected periphery in the Communication network. Generalized linear mixed modeling related core-periphery position of clinic employees in the Communication network to job satisfaction, after adjusting for job title, sex, number of years working at the clinic, and percent full-time employment. RESULTS Average job satisfaction was 5.8 on a scale of 1 to 7. Generalized linear mixed modeling showed that individuals who were in the core of the Communication network had significantly greater job satisfaction than those who were on the periphery. Female physicians had lesser overall job satisfaction than other clinic employees. CONCLUSIONS Interventions targeting Professional Communication networks might improve health care employee job satisfaction at primary care clinics.

  • Narrative and Research in Professional Communication
    Journal of Business and Technical Communication, 1996
    Co-Authors: Nancy Roundy Blyler
    Abstract:

    This article explores narrative theory and research in fields closely allied with Professional Communication to clarify the value of narrative to our discipline. It addresses the move in many fields to reconceptualize research as narrative. Placing narrative within a postmodernist frame, it examines the centrality of ethnography within a postmodernist view. The importance of ethnography in research is related to two key narrative questions that ethnographic theorists in other disciplines are addressing: Who is telling the ethnographic story? For what purposes is the story told? This article supports the importance of taking a critical stance toward these questions and discusses the implications of postmodernist ethnographic theory for research in Professional Communication.

  • Research as Ideology in Professional Communication.
    Technical Communication Quarterly, 1995
    Co-Authors: Nancy Roundy Blyler
    Abstract:

    This article claims that the debate over research in Professional Communication is grounded in ideology. The article discusses the ideologies of two research perspectives: a functionalist perspective, common in much social scientific research, and a critical interpretive perspective, currently emerging in disciplines other than our own. The article sets recent discussions of research in Professional Communication within a functionalist framework, then posits that a critical interpretive ideology provides an alternative. The interests advanced by both perspectives are discussed, and the viability of critical interpretive research in Professional Communication is supported.
