Gossip is a complex and ubiquitous phenomenon, widely found and
variously practiced. Gossip and Organizations provides the reader
with an analysis of gossip and informal knowledge across different
national, organizational and cultural contexts, drawing upon
empirical findings and the author's experiences of researching
gossip in nursing and healthcare organizations and higher
educational institutions. Kathryn Waddington aims to dispel once
and for all the myth that women gossip and men have conversations,
shattering the illusion that gossip at work is trivial talk. This
book challenges the assumption that gossip is a problem that should
be discouraged. While there is undoubtedly a dark side to gossip,
Kathryn Waddington argues that paying closer attention to gossip as
organizational communication and knowledge enables exploration of
other ways of seeing, interpreting and understanding organizations.
Gossip is not merely an impediment of organizing, it is a form of
organizing which shapes perceptions and actions, and can forewarn
managers of future failure in organizational systems. The
complexity of gossip is such that a of range inter-disciplinary
explanations is necessary in order to account for this form of
communication and knowledge across multiple levels and spaces in
and around organizations. Waddington provides a new evidence-based
framework incorporating ethics, emotion, identity, sensemaking and
power as a guide future research, theorizing and critical
reflective and reflexive practice in the field of organizational
gossip.
