摘要:Despite its importance to agency effectiveness, communication performance is an understudied topic. This is partly attributable to the performance predicament, which arises because costs of communication are easier to measure than its benefits. In this study, we develop and test an exploratory model of public sector communication performance that is synthesized from the literature on public-private differences and organizational communication. This model is statistically significant and explai...
