and organizational, from employees and also how communication can be performed by leaders

The research question is “How Leadership Behavior impacts on follower’s results through implied
motives? And it will lead us to test and validate the impact of communication on performance
through organizations structures.
Is necessary to gather the right people with certain behaviors and with the right information for
better decision making and consequently better and faster business results can be achieved.
Communication is the main factor for information to flow within the organization hierarchies or
teams and departments. Employees transform that information into knowledge, thus their
perception capacity and performance, being knowledge defined as “understood information” or
information as “organized facts”, applying it to their activities. In this context it’s possible to say
that knowledge workers and organizations are those, which use knowledge intensively
Reinforcing the main purpose of this research mentioning that "effective leadership is still largely
a matter of communication. An effective leader thinks about what he says, carefully working out
every expression of any significance". The central idea here is that for a system to have the
freedom to self-organize, it must have some degree of "space" or autonomy for the occurrence of
the relevant innovation. The idea of integrating the needs of individuals and organizations became
a powerful force. Alternatives to the bureaucratic organization have begun to emerge as the
research showed how bureaucratic structures, leadership styles and the general work of
organizations could be modified to create "richer" jobs and motivators that would encourage
people to exercise their capacities and creativity
This is a conceptual paper, which explores the concepts of communication, autonomy and
responsibility, framed by leadership models. The methodology used to was documentary
analysis, including papers from the main scientific databases: Scopus and WOS, using the
keywords communication, autonomy, responsibility and leadership. In the near future the field
methodology will be "Action Research” to study methods, contents and ways of communication
from leaders to their teams. The study is going to be performed during 2015/2016 in a specific
company environment, using several techniques to collect data: observation and the register of
evidences in loco.
Data collected will be analyzed and preliminary conclusions will lead to new researches and
analysis and a cycle will be done until the end of the study.
As expected results we hope to prove that Communication within organization hierarchies will
generate more autonomy and better performance from employees which will originate better
results from their tasks and thus more efficiency which in turn will lead to high organizational
performance.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
