About 80% of the 282 employees at a university-based educational research and development center completed questionnaires based on J.E. Grunig's theory of communication behavior in a study to define communication types, discover communication patterns, and make recommendations for improving the center's communication program. Grunig's theory describes how actively a person communicates about a given situation in terms of four variables: problem recognition, constraint recognition, referent criterion, and level of involvement. In analyzing the survey data, three employee communication types emerged: "information seekers" are the most likely to communicate actively; "selective information processors" are apt to passively accept only certain kinds of information; and "nonselective information processors" are the least likely even to accept information passively, although they will process relevant information when it is easily available to them.
