تحلیل تئوریک ارتباط مؤثر در سازمان‌ها بر پایه مدل چهارگانه شاکلی-زالابک: نگاهی مفهومی به دانش، حساسیت، مهارت و ارزش‌های ارتباطی

Understanding the complex nature of organizational communication requires a perspective beyond technical and structural models. This theoretical and review-based study explicates the conceptual framework of effective organizational communication grounded in Pamela Shockley-Zalabak’s four-dimensional model. The model conceptualizes communication as the result of the interaction of four components: communication knowledge, interpersonal sensitivity, communication skills, and communication values, which synergistically enhance intra-organizational communication effectiveness. The theoretical analysis reveals that each of these dimensions addresses a neglected facet of organizational interactions within Iran’s cultural context: communication knowledge elucidates power structures and information flows; interpersonal sensitivity facilitates interpreting cultural and emotional differences; communication skills enable the practical realization of constructive interactions; and communication values sustain trust and professional ethics. The article further proposes a conceptual framework and a mixed-method (qualitative–quantitative) research design for future studies, laying the groundwork for empirical research and managerial applications in analyzing and improving organizational human relations. The theoretical findings of this research enable the development of measurement instruments and training programs based on communication intelligence.
