STUDY ON THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN PERSONALITY TRAITS AND CULTURAL DIMENSIONS

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents some of the conclusions of a research endeavour undertaken in two different institutions: a private company (PO) and a state- financed organization (SO). Its purpose was the comparative investigation into the similarities and differences characterizing them in terms of the communication patterns underlying their organizational behavior. Hence, the research method employed was based on the comparison and contrast techniques, whereas the paradigm it adopted was that of organizational communication patterns. Thus, out of the five dimensions describing the concept of organizational communication, namely vertical, horizontal, informal, formal and organizational outward communication this article will only present the findings related to informal, formal and horizontal communication patterns. Based on these, the paper will then focus on the prospective challenges for the two organizations in terms of micro-organizational behavior and also on the way the two dimensions of organizational communication can inform on the future decision-making process.
