organizational communication ethics

"Organizational communication ethics recognizes the need for a minimal common understanding of a given good in each organizational setting, requiring one to take responsibility for the dwelling that the communicative practices seek to construct" (138). By this definition from the book alone, it is clear that organizational communication ethics prefer to focus to only few perspectives instead of having variety of perspectives. organizational communication ethics is trying to only use the better perspective in order to accomplish a given purpose or purposes. Dwelling place is one important element in organizational communication ethics. The book describes dwelling place as the type of communicative home. It does not necessarily have to be warm and caring, because sometimes even real homes couldn't provide those. "A dwelling place is a gathering of communicative practices and stories that gives an organization a sense of uniqueness, separating a specified organization from others within the same industry: (138).
"Organizational communication focuses on the form of communication needed to get a particular task done" (139). Different organizations have different goal or purposes and one could be involved in various organizations at the same time. For example, I am a student, a member of sorority, a member of church, and a member of a home group. With that being said, every single organizations that I am in have different tasks that I need to do. As a student, I have a get good grades and to graduate. As a member of sorority, I have to join the events and do what I am expected to do as a member. And the same applies to my other organizations. "As we enter different organizations, differing dwelling places invite us to use our time in quite contrasting ways." (139)
