组织传播学术已经超越了我们学科早期关于我们应该优先使用定性方法还是定量方法的争论（例如，Doerfel & Gibbs，2014; Myers，2014; Putnam，2014）。目前，组织传播方法论更多的是理论性的，不一定要坚持严格的本体论或认识论。为了更好地理解组织传播研究的最新传统和转变，我将报告我们领域已发表文章的方法部分的摘要。Wert-Gray，Center，Brashers，and Meyers（1991）25年前在Communication Studies上发表的关于组织传播方法取向的综述启发了我的研究方法。为了缩小这个总结，我专注于发表在管理沟通季刊（MCQ）上的研究，“我们领域的旗舰期刊”（Sias，2016，第3页）。截至2015年，《MCQ》的影响因子为2.08，在传播学期刊中排名第六，在管理学期刊中排名第44。该杂志发表高质量的文章，专注于方法，只要他们做出实质性的方法学贡献（Sias，2016）。虽然MCQ仅代表我们领域奖学金的一个子集，但它可能是我们生产的奖学金类型的关键指标。因此，本项目的具体研究问题如下：
Organizational communication scholarship has moved beyond our discipline’s early squabbles concerning whether we should privilege qualitative or quantitative methods (e.g., Doerfel & Gibbs, 2014; Myers, 2014; Putnam, 2014). Now, organizational communication methodology is more entwined with theory and is not bound to adhere to strict ontology or epistemology. To better understand recent traditions and transitions in organizational communication research, I will report a summary of method sections of published articles in our field. Wert-Gray, Center, Brashers, and Meyers’s (1991) review of methodological orientations in organizational communication published 25 years ago in Communication Studies inspired my research approach. To narrow this summary, I focused on published research in Management Communication Quarterly (MCQ), “our field’s flagship journal” (Sias, 2016, p. 3). As of 2015, MCQ had an impact factor of 2.08, ranked sixth among communication journals, and 44th among management journals. The journal publishes high quality articles focused on methods, as long as they make substantial methodological contributions (Sias, 2016). Although MCQ represents only a subset of the scholarship in our field, it is likely a key indicator of the type of scholarship we produce. Therefore, the specific research questions for this project were as follows:
