MCQ News
MCQ 2013 Article of the Year is ‘The Communicative Constitution
of Collective Identity in Interorganizational Collaboration,’
by Matthew Koschmann.
In his article, drawing from the Montreal School theory of coorientation,
Koschmann reconceptualises ‘collective identity’ “from a communication
perspective by theorizing it as an authoritative text that emerges from
the text-conversation dialectics of coorientation and is facilitated by
communication process of intertextuality and distanciation.” Analyzing
and interpreting data gathered from field observations and in-depth
interviews, Koschmann shows how collective identity “emerges from
communication processes that comprise organizational forms and are
central to their existence.”
The members of the selection committee were Dan Lair (Chair), Jennifer
Gibbs, and Debbie S. Dougherty. The committee commented, “…
we found Koschmann’s article to make significant contributions to our
understanding of how the CCO perspective can inform the study of
collective identities and of the importance of such identities in enhancing
the efficacy of interorganizational collaborations. As such collaborative
efforts are likely to become increasingly prevalent in an era marked
by diminishing resources, Koschmann’s article is well-positioned to make
enduring and significant contributions to the field.”

Building Blocks of Individual Biography? Non-Governmental
Organizational Communication in Reflexive Modernity
— ANDREAS MYNSTER AND LEE EDWARDS
In this article, the authors used rhetorical analysis to illustrate
how communication within a non-governmental organization (Amnesty
International Denmark or AID) “simultaneously serves organizational
self-interest and provides a set of symbolic tools for individuals to use in
the process of constructing biographical certainty.” Analyzing the quarterly
magazines and ‘letters of appeal’ sent to members, subscribers, and
supporters, the authors concluded that, “AID’s member communication
constructs a view of the world centered on moral binaries and invites
members to identify with the moral position that AID represents.”

Leader-Member Conversation Quality (LMCQ): Scale
Development and Validation through Three Studies
— GUOWEI JIAN, XIAOWEI SHI AND FRANCIS DALISAY
In this article, the authors developed and validated a Leader-Member
Conversational Quality (LMCQ) scale to measure the quality of
conversations between leaders and members in the workplace. By
using the theoretical construct of interactional richness to conceptualize
LMCQ and conducting a series of three studies, the authors created
a nine-item instrument with the ability to assess conversation practices
quantitatively. The LMCQ provides researchers with a measurement
instrument that is “theoretically grounded and taps into the leader-member
communication exchange.” The authors assert that the LMCQ would
also enable the assessor “to propose concrete suggestions for changes
necessary in improving conversational practice.”
