Description

Explore the complex world of informal communication with Gossip and Organizations by Kathryn Waddington. Part of the Routledge Studies in Management, Organizations and Society series, this book provides a deep analysis of how gossip and informal knowledge function across different national, organizational, and cultural contexts. Drawing on empirical research from nursing, healthcare organizations, and higher educational institutions, the author examines the reality of workplace talk. This text aims to dispel common myths, such as the idea that gossip is trivial or gender-specific. Instead, it presents gossip as a significant phenomenon that shapes organizational life.
