This review of research literature from 1963 to 1972 discusses implications of research for analysis of communication behavior in work organizations. The review is organized into four sections: contributions from organizational theory; research related to the interpersonal milieu; research related to the organizational milieu; and an examination of methodology. The authors conclude that in all areas of organizational research, communication behavior is under-theorized and under-researched. They further state that communication research offers excellent opportunities for future contributions to knowledge about organizational behavior. An extensive reference list is included. (Author/RN)
