| Abstract: | This paper offers an interpretation of the importance of organizational gossip. It draws together theory and research from various disciplines in order to explore four main propositions: that gossip is a phenomenon worthy of serious study/analysis; that gossip in organizations has been under-researched; that analysis of gossip reveals important aspects about the social organization of work; and that gossip is a social process that helps to protect and perpetuate organizations. It concludes that gossip is intrinsic to organizational life. |
