Mentoring and other communication support in the academic setting
Article Abstract:
A study of 224 professors at two colleges analyzing the structure of mentoring and other communication support behaviors in academic settings reveals that there are three significant factors which are elements of perceived communication support: the Collegial Social Dimension (CSD); the Mentor/Protege Dimension (MPD); and the Collegial Task Dimension (CTD). The CSD is more friendship-oriented, the CTD reflects support that is work-related, and the MPD is representative of the traditional concept of mentoring. All three factors give credence to the concept of multidimensional support within academic organizations.

Personal reliance on alternative event-management processes in four countries
Article Abstract:
Employees in electronics-related manufacturing plants in the US, the UK, Japan, and Hong Kong were surveyed to determine whether differences exist in the way employees gather information and respond to events in the work environment. Typically, workers respond to day-to-day events and unusual problems by using five event-management processes: company manuals, experienced co-workers, work experience and training, superior's advice, and unwritten policy. The research reveals significant differences among countries in the ordering of the five event-management processes.

Communication relationship satisfaction and organizational commitment
Article Abstract:
A study of organizational commitment and communication relationship satisfaction (CRS) was conducted by surveying 122 white-collar engineering firm employees. Research results indicate that high-level management relationships relate more closely to organizational commitment than either the overall CRS or supervisor relationship. These results demonstrate a relationship between organizational commitment and CRS.
