Abstract

This paper explores a relatively new subfield of the communication in the organization: negative information communication. We define negativeness of negative information communication. Through case study analysis, we identified several factors which managers may consider important for negative information communication, named explanation, fix and occasion. We also examined how the leadership style of leaders (as senders) influences those three factors. Besides, we proposed the moderating effect of the negativeness on the relationship above. Implications and future research are discussed.
