What is a cost & quality overlay program?

This study examined the separate and combined effects of caregiving tasks, resilience, and received support on the participant’s level of psychosocial distress, using a sample of 312 people in a romantic relationship with a partner who has a spinal cord injury (SCI).

We also tested whether such distress might mediate the effect of the predictors on romantic relationship closeness. Results supported the beneficial effects of both resilience and receiving high-quality support, although the… Show more

This study examined the separate and combined effects of caregiving tasks, resilience, and received support on the participant’s level of psychosocial distress, using a sample of 312 people in a romantic relationship with a partner who has a spinal cord injury (SCI).

We also tested whether such distress might mediate the effect of the predictors on romantic relationship closeness. Results supported the beneficial effects of both resilience and receiving high-quality support, although the timing of the injury moderated these effects. Injuries sustained after relationship initiation particularly threaten well-being and closeness and, along with the burden of caregiving tasks, alter the extent to which received support and resilience are associated with health and relationship benefits. These results suggest that support providers should be sensitive to the context of the SCI and, for scholars, indicate the importance of further theorizing context in the theory of resilience and relational load.

As a means of understanding the identity and heritage of organizational communication scholarship, we conducted a content analysis of 1,399 articles published in communication journals since 1964. Our findings demonstrate key turning points in organizational communication scholarship, trends in the development of knowledge, and areas in which this discipline can continue to grow in future endeavors.

As a means of understanding the identity and heritage of organizational communication scholarship, we conducted a content analysis of 1,399 articles published in communication journals since 1964. Our findings demonstrate key turning points in organizational communication scholarship, trends in the development of knowledge, and areas in which this discipline can continue to grow in future endeavors. While research has problematized power and has emphasized the constitutive nature of communication, more research is needed to explore alternative forms of orga-nizing and to expand diversity scholarship beyond gender and nationality. While research has grown more theo-retically complex, work can still be done developing meso-level theories that highlight the role of communication in
various organizing processes. While qualitative methods have erased the dominance of quantitative methods,
greater parity and an appreciation for how methods may inform each other would advance scholarly contributions. While the number of studies conducted in organizations has grown, the percentage of studies using field work meth-ods has declined, increasing the risk that research may miss important contextual cues. We discuss the implications
of these findings as a road map for new scholars wanting to understand what organizational communication has been
and all scholars wanting to know what organizational communication can be.
