Aportes iberoamericanos sobre la teoría de la comunicación organizacional

Abstract

This research aims to make visible the changes that the conception of organizational communication and its different meanings have had during the last 20 years. The theoretical referents are Ibero-American authors who have addressed communication and organizational communication. The methodological application of the state of the art as an interpretative-hermeneutic investigation that obeys to an exploratory and explanatory analysis, allows to systematize the information that was worked from a matrix that identified qualitative data of the works of each author and their lines of work that they were interpreted. By comparing and contrasting information, the results of the theoretical contributions of each author were evidenced considering their context and the dimension from which they work. This process has clarified the gaps and limitations that exist in research, identifying the advances and trends that each author has achieved with their contributions. It will also show the aspects that are still to be addressed and avoid repeating future research. Why has it not been possible to abolish the pyramidal and hierarchical structure within organizations? This is the hypothesis that emerges after the interpretation and study of the information collected. And it aims to encourage more research with the aim of expanding the scope of study of organizational communication.
