Subkultur och kommunikation : påverkar olika kulturer den hierarkiska kommunikationen i en organisation? / Subcultures and communication : do different cultures affect the hierarchical communication in an organization?

The essay studies the relationship between communication and organizational culture; to determine if there are any cultural differences between the management of an organization and its employees and to examine how a difference can affect the communication of organizational policies. A case study, where the public school was examined, was used to answer the research question, and interviews were held with relevant people on different levels in the organization. The interviews were analyzed with the theoretical frame of reference as a benchmark. Cultural differences could be identified between different levels in the organization and between the two schools studied. The differences affected how and why people communicated but not how well the respondents understood each other. Keywords: Organizational culture, subculture, Organizational communication, affects, hierarchy.
