Multicommunicating: A Practice Whose Time Has Come?
提出“多任务沟通”概念,描述技术丰富工作场所中重叠对话的现象,区分其与其他行为,并提出未来研究命题,对学者和管理者均有价值。
We offer the concept of multicommunicating to describe overlapping conversations, an increasingly common occurrence in the technology-enriched workplace. We define multicommunicating, distinguish it from other behaviors, and develop propositions for future research. Our work extends the literature on technology-stimulated restructuring and reveals one of the opportunities provided by lean media—specifically, an opportunity to multicommunicate. We conclude that the concept of multicommunicating has value both to the scholar and to the practicing manager.
