▼ This dissertation conceptualizes formal organizing as an enacted capability that is constituted in everyday communication practices bound by time and space. Using a practice perspective, I argue that unplanned conversations are a constituent feature of organizing and a primary mover in organizing process. As part of the dissertation, I have developed a multi-level theoretical framework that provides insights about the factors that influence the frequency of unplanned conversations at work. In Chapter I, previous work on unplanned conversations from multiple disciplines (e.g., communication, design) is reviewed to define unplanned conversations, explicate their characteristics, and consider them as the unit of analysis. Following this discussion, I apply a practice perspective to explain how unplanned conversations produce and re-produce organizational structures, as well as the recursive relationship between structure and unplanned conversations. Finally, I discuss various ways to measure and operationalize unplanned conversations. Chapter II unpacks the effects of individual, team, and organizational level factors on the frequency of unplanned conversations. A two-mode data analytic strategy is presented to explore the dualistic relationship between the types of unplanned conversations and the organizational spaces they create. Then, the influence of unplanned conversations on organizational outcomes is discussed. Throughout the chapter, relevant research questions, hypotheses, and theoretical propositions are offered. Chapter III addresses the methodological challenges associated with capturing and measuring unplanned conversations. To overcome the methodological challenges, I developed and tested a multi-methodological approach to studying unplanned conversations. Data was collected using structured observations, spot sampling, online survey questionnaires and experience sampling from N = 61 employees over a four-week period. Finally, I report on the varied statistical methods used to explore the relationships described in Chapter II. The findings in Chapter IV provide strong support for the relationship between organizational context and the frequency of unplanned conversations. Correspondence analysis results provide strong support for the dualistic relationship between types of conversations and spaces. Taken together, the dissertation helps us more fully understand how unplanned conversations enable and constrain organizational communication processes. Chapter V concludes with a discussion of the results, limitations, an agenda for future research, and the theoretical and practical implications of the dissertation.

▼ Organizational scholars have given considerable attention to changing patterns of work and careers. A globalized economy and technological advances have created fast-paced work environments that are no longer supported by traditional organizational structures. The nature of the employee-employer relationship has also changed in many organizations with employees relying less on employers for stability and permanence, and employers shifting the responsibility for career planning and professional development to the employee. Individuals are also free to behave as active agents in creating innovative work-based practices that allow them to fulfill personal demands and commitments. These issues have opened the door for flexible work designs and arrangements. This dissertation explores the need and desire for flexibility among the qualified workforce, the negotiation strategies organizational members use to enact flexibility, and their attempts to extend work based flexibility across the lifespan. A five-month qualitative study is presented that considers the temporal nature of these changes, the varying time scales implicated in a range of flexible work practices and norms, and the various levels at which temporal flexibility is shaped. Findings support a perception of organizational flexibility as a temporal resource, and changing perceptions for employees working both within and outside of formal organizational policies. Results also demonstrate shifts in career behaviors as individuals actively engage in enacting flexibility across the lifespan. The temporal approach taken in this study contributes to our understanding of organizational flexibility by clarifying and disentangling theoretical concepts to more accurately explain the experiences of individuals in the contemporary organizational environment.

▼ This research sought to describe and understand patterns of linguistic agency assignment in smoking cessation narratives. To this end, a corpus of these narratives gathered from an online twelve step cessation program, Voices of Nicotine Recovery (VONR), was constructed and an objective scheme for coding linguistic agency assignment in ex-smokers’ cessation narratives was developed. When discussing smoking and addiction, speakers have the option of linguistically assigning agency (i.e., the capacity for action) to themselves, others, inanimate objects, or to abstract concepts like addiction. Patterns of agency assignment may provide insight into conceptions of efficacy and responsibility for addictive behaviors. The author predicted patterns of linguistic agency based on the dominant disease model of addiction, cessation programs based in this model, and extant findings concerning self-efficacy and nicotine addiction. The author hypothesized that ascription of agency would vary during the stages of addiction such that personal agency would decline and non-personal and non-human agency would increase following addiction. Findings were consistent with predictions concerning increases in non-human agency following nicotine addiction relative to pre-initiation levels. However, observed patterns of agency assignment were not consistent with other predictions based in the disease model. It was also hypothesized that following the expected decrease in personal agency ascription after smoking initiation, personal agency assignment would then increase leading to cessation attempts. During quit attempts, personal agency assignment was expected to decrease before rising following successful cessation to its highest post-initiation levels. As predicted, the highest post-initiation levels of personal agency assignment were observed following cessation. However, the data were inconsistent with expected patterns of linguistic agency for other stages. These findings suggest that the study of linguistic agency in addiction narratives may contribute to an improved understanding of how addiction operates and the extent to which the disease model is predictive of the way in which recovering nicotine addicts view their addiction and cessation. Findings, implications, and additional areas of research are discussed.

▼ The relationship consumers form with products and brands is well researched. Products provide consumers with a way to create a sense of stability, comfort and expression and can serve as an actual or psychological extension of the consumer. The theoretical idea that consumers form relationships with brands that often mimic interpersonal relationships is the foundational assumption this dissertation operates under. The common thread that ties various transitions of branding scholarship together is the notion of attachment. In the domain of consumer behavior, current research that examines attachment fails to address the impact advertising plays in the effective communication of brand messages. The purpose of this research is to further examine the role advertising plays in the formation of consumer emotional brand attachment. But specifically, this research examines how various types of advertising appeals and adult attachment interact to influence advertising effectiveness. Two studies were conducted. Study 1 examined the impact of adult attachment and one advertising appeal on participants’ emotional attachment to a brand that was perceived to have a sincere personality. Also, participants were asked to rate the effectiveness of the ad by reporting their attitude toward the ad, attitude toward the brand and purchase intention. Study 2 further examined the anxiety dimension of attachment by looking at the affects of secure and preoccupied attachment styles and two advertising appeals. The study sought to understand how participants with varying levels of anxiety coupled with seeing two advertising appeals would report their emotional brand attachment and their perception of the advertisement shown. Overall, this research seeks to bring attention to the importance of the role attachment and advertising play in fulfilling consumers’ needs. Consumers with different attachment styles often have different consumption goals that need to be taken into account when trying to craft effective strategic communications that help build strong consumer brand relationships.

▼ The implementation of planned organizational change is ultimately a communication-related phenomenon, and as such, it is imperative that organizational communication scholars examine the interactions surrounding EHR implementation and understand how users (e.g. healthcare practitioners) utilize, evaluate, and deliberate this new technological innovation. Previous research on planned organizational change has called for researchers to adopt a more dynamic perspective that emphasizes the active agency of organizational members throughout implementation processes and focuses on informal implementers and change reinvention (work-arounds) as individuals actively reinterpret and personalize their work roles during implementation socialization. This dissertation seeks to fill this gap in research by demonstrating how communication between doctors, nurses, and other health professionals affects the adoption, maintenance, alternation, modification, or rejection of EHR systems within health care organizations. To delve into these inquiries and examine the intersecting domains of medical informatics and organizational communication research, this dissertation proceeds in the following manner: First, a literature review, capitalizing on Laurie Lewis’s work in planned organizational change and social constructionist views of technology use in organizations, outlines the assumptions that undergird this research. Next, this dissertation builds a model that predicts the communicative and structural antecedents of the study outcome variables, which include 1) organizational resistance to EHR implementation, 2) employees’ perception of EHR implementation success, 3) levels of change reinvention—or work-arounds—due to change initiatives and activities, and 4) employees’ perceptions of the quality of the organizational communication surrounding the change. Hypotheses guiding the model specification are provided and are followed by a description of the empirical methods and procedures that were utilized to explore the variable relationships. Results of the SEM model suggest that work-arounds could play a mediating role governing the relationship between informal social influence and the outcome variables in the study. In addition, one-way ANOVAs and multiple regression analyses reveal that physicians are the most resistant to EHR implementation and perceived change communication quality positively predicts perceived EHR implementation success and perceived relative advantage of EHR and negatively predicts employee resistance. A discussion of the expected and unexpected results is offered in addition to study limitation and future directions. Advisors/Committee Members: Stephens, Keri K. (advisor), Browning , Larry D.

▼ This dissertation explores the relationship between identity and time. Specifically, it tests the relationship between time perspective and enactments of anonymity. Working from a sociomaterial lens, two studies were conducted using both an offline population and various online communities. The first study recruited students to fill out a questionnaire which included both questions about their online habits and a short form of the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (Zhang et al., 2013). Additionally, participants were asked if they would be likely to use an anonymous, pseudonymous, or identified website in various hypothetical situations. The second study involved recruiting participants from various online communities (e.g., Facebook, Reddit, 4chan, and 8chan). Study 2 participants were also given a short version of The Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory as well as questions about their participation in the online community they were recruited from. Findings of the studies suggest that there is a significant relationship between present-hedonism and anonymity if group identification is taken into account. There is also evidence of a positive relationship between a future time perspective and using identified websites. This evidence supports three main conclusions that can be drawn from the data. First, that the material structures of a community (i.e., the community’s level of identifiability) can influence their tendencies related to their time perspectives. Second, the mechanism the causes individuals to exhibit for hedonistic anti-social behavior may not be cruelty but because the individuals are not thinking through the consequences (for neither themselves nor others). Finally, it is possible for a more long-term temporal structure to be created by increasing the dimensions of identity present in CMC environments. Advisors/Committee Members: Ballard, Dawna I.

▼ This dissertation explores how the “Muslim problem” is constructed as uniquely urgent and hidden in the United States. The idea of impending Muslim attacks and the stealthy radicalization of Muslims are very real fears in the U.S. today. Sustaining these fears requires the exercise of considerable rhetorical ingenuity, and studying it requires looking beyond explicit anti-Muslim discourse to understand the momentum of this fear. I advocate the use of two new methods to understand this dual construction of “Muslim terrorism” as both urgent and concealed. I develop a temporal framework and a style-based lens to interrogate this construction. Scholarship acknowledges that counterterrorism discourse presents “Muslim terrorism” as urgent enough to justify preemptive measures. This language of urgency and preemption is deeply temporal, but there is little scholarship on the temporal component of anti-Muslim discourse. I apply my temporal framework to examine the coverage of the 2012 Sikh Temple Shooting to understand how temporal language can incite fear of Muslim in discourse completely unrelated to Muslims and Islam. Meanwhile, I apply a stylistic lens to explore the construction of the “moderate” Muslim, who acts as a foil to the hidden, non-American “Muslim terrorist.” The “moderate” Muslim discourse is produced by the status quo rather than U.S. Muslims themselves, and compels particular performances of citizenship from U.S. Muslims. Style mediates these performances of citizenship, and thus I apply my style-based lens to examine three examples of “moderate Muslims.” I examine the 2014 Miss America controversy; the stand-up comedy of Muslim comedian Azhar Usman; and the preaching style of Suhaib Webb, a renowned “moderate” American imam. By considering three case studies, I am able to present a rich analysis of the many performances of Muslim “moderation” and its role in bolstering American exceptionalism. Thus, taken together, my temporal and stylistic approaches explain the momentum of fear towards Muslims in the U.S. and their role in bolstering American national identity.

▼ Creativity is the production of solutions to problems that are both original and appropriate. Although organizational communication literature offers insights regarding overt strategies for enhancing creativity at work (e.g., brainstorming rules), processes whereby creativity may be tacitly enhanced remain largely under-explored. Drawing upon creativity’s associations with heightened awareness (i.e., mindfulness) and the experience of flow—a psychological state characterized partially by distorted perceptions of the passage of time—the present study considers whether exposure to phrases related to these concepts influence the likelihood of one producing more novel ideas in an open-ended problem-solving task. The pursuit of new, tacit means for enhancing the originality of solutions to problems may benefit organizational communication practitioners in the following way. The creativity of employees may be facilitated if new tacit means are used (or avoided) alongside extant overt strategies. Employees may be more capable of producing novel ideas in response to a problem-solving task if organizational communication practitioners develop a more nuanced understanding of how the presentation of problems, and the methods used in solving them, exposes employees to incidental and unobtrusive meanings that shape the socio-environmental context in which problem-solving takes place. The present study used a two-by-two, between subjects factorial design, that presented participants with a set of phrases related to different levels of mindset (i.e., mindfulness and mindlessness) and psychological state (i.e., flow and anti-flow). For example, phrases representing the combination of mindfulness and flow included, “I’m focused,” “my goals are clear,” “I’m tuned in to my feelings,” and “I’m up to the challenge at hand.” Exposure to these phrases sought to activate associations with the mindset of actively and fluidly processing social information (i.e., mindfulness) and the psychological state whereby deep concentration leads to the reduction of self-awareness and awareness of the passage of time (i.e., flow). Conversely, phrases representing the combination of mindlessness and anti-flow included, “I’m not focused,” “my goals are not clear,” “I’m not tuned in to my feelings,” and I’m not up to the challenge at hand.” After being exposed to one of four sets of phrases, participants were then administered a novel-idea production task in which they were instructed to produce a list of solutions to a problem (i.e., people driving while using text messaging on their cell phones). Results of the experiment failed to demonstrate a relationship between the presentation of phrases aiming to trigger associations with mindset and psychological state; however, measures to assess internal reliability suggested that methodological limitations confounded the present study’s ability to accurately test how the activation of associations between mindset and psychological state are related to the likelihood of one producing novel ideas.

▼ As helpful as social support can be, the reality is that some attempts to offer support are more helpful than others. In trying to be supportive, we can make things better, but we can also make things worse (Brashers et al., 2004; Burleson & Samter, 1985; Goldsmith, Lindholm, & Bute, 2006; Goldsmith & Fitch, 1997). In everyday situations, simply bringing up a sensitive topic may cause negative emotions for a conversational partner or remind them of a topic that they are trying not to think about. In addition, it is possible to say something that makes a person feel worse about the way they are handling a delicate situation. This dissertation applies Burleson and Samter’s (1985) social support framework, a model of Verbal Person Centeredness (VPC), to the context of grief. This dissertation examines what types of grief support are most effective, and looks at whether, in some instances, more sophisticated message are not the most comforting. This dissertation will examine whether closeness operates as a moderator, making moderately sophisticated messages of support more effective than highly sophisticated ones in some situations, such as instances in which the person offering support is less close to the bereaved. It is hypothesized that this will happen due to threats to the bereaved’s sense of independence or autonomy (Brown & Levinson, 1987). Hence, in some instances, it may be more helpful for people offering support to use moderately sophisticated messages. Although experimental data from this dissertation did not support an interaction between closeness of target and helper and perceived effectiveness of support message, data from open-ended questions did suggest that individuals prefer moderately sophisticated messages from less close others (e.g., coworkers). Other themes from open-ended questions provide additional details about the type of support people in grief might desire. Advisors/Committee Members: Dailey, René M.

▼ Implicit in fundamental theories of organization regarding issues of change, adaptation, and learning is the acknowledgement of a present-future duality with which organizational members must come to terms. This duality refers to organizational members’ need to function in the present while preparing for the future. Five aspects of this duality highlight its importance as a focus of study for scholars of communication, organizations, and groups: a) it is pervasive, b) communication makes a difference in how the duality is managed, c) managing the duality can lead to unintended consequences, d) its costs and benefits are unevenly distributed across organizational members, and e) a focus on the future does not necessarily prepare organizational members for the future because they are not able to predict the specific ways in which the future might be different from the present (Huber, 2004). Members cope with the present-future duality through communication practices designed to help them adapt to their future environment (Brown & Eisenhardt, 1997). This dissertation explores how clock-based conceptions of time—time as “linear and uniform in its flow, existing independent of objects and events” (Lee & Liebenau, 1999, p. 1038)—relate to communication practices that are linked to the continuous flow of time and not to particular events (Brown & Eisenhardt, 1997). Research suggests that three such practices proactive information sharing, using real-time information, and employing collective reflexivity reduce delays in organizational adaptation. These relationships were examined through two studies. The pilot study included 58 respondents from a high technology organization in the Southwest United States. The second study included 186 respondents from a public transportation organization in the Southwest US. Contrary to the proposed framework, conceptions of time were not related to the three communication practices. However, a future focus was positively related to all three communication practices, exploration and communication adequacy. Advisors/Committee Members: Ballard, Dawna (advisor).

▼ Experts estimate that by 2013, every adult in the world will own a mobile phone. Mobile technologies are one of the fastest growing and most widely adopted technologies in history. This study seeks to understand the impacts of an increasingly mobile culture in the United States, focusing on how being “always on” impacts individuals' relationships with work. Being always on refers to an individual’s propensity to remain continuously connected to the world through a web-enabled, mobile technology device, such as an iPhone or BlackBerry. Influenced by Clark's (2000) work-family border theory, I conducted 49 in-depth interviews, in order to develop a communicative model of being always on. The model is characterized by using new mobile technologies, needing to be connected, blurring boundaries between work and non-work spheres, identifying with work, working long hours, and having work-life balance. Being always on is linked to a strong work identity and desire for control over one's time. However, being constantly connected with a smartphone also means being more connected to work; it has become easier to work longer hours, have work leak into personal time, and slowly but ultimately lose control over the boundaries between work and non-work domains. Ironically, individuals who are always on in order to gain more control over their time may actually end up giving up more control than they gain. However, always-on individuals actually feel like they have an appropriate work-life balance, which complicates traditional understandings of the meaning of “balance.” Instead, these findings suggest always-on individuals actually “atomize,” a term that refers to the breaking down of communicative tasks into small pieces to can be completed anywhere, at any time, enabling flexibility and control.

▼ Exemplified by fire crews, SWAT teams, and emergency surgical units, critical teams are a subset of action teams whose work is marked by finality, pressure, and potentially fatal outcomes (Ishak & Ballard, 2012). Using communicative and temporal lenses, this study investigates how organizations prime and prepare their embedded critical teams to deal with improvisation. This study explicates how organizations both encourage and discourage improvisation for their embedded critical teams. Throughout the training process, organizations implement a structured yet flexible “roadmap”-type approach to critical team work, an approach that is encapsulated through three training goals. The first goal is to make events routine to members. The second goal is to help members deal with non-routine events. The third goal is to help members understand how to differentiate between what is routine and non-routine. The grounded theory analysis in this study also surfaced three tools that are used within the parameters of the roadmap approach: experience, communicative decision making, and sensemaking. Using Dewey’s (1939, 1958) theory of experience, I introduce a middle-range adapted theory of critical team experience. In this theory, experience and sensemaking are synthesized through communicative decision making to produce decisions, actions, and outcomes in time-limited, specialized, stressful environments. Critical teams have unique temporal patterns that must be considered in any study of their work. Partially based on the nested phase model (Ishak & Ballard, 2012), I also identify three phases of critical team process as critical-interactive, meaning that they are specific to action/critical teams, and they are engaged in by critical teams for the expressed purpose of interaction. These phases are simulation, adaptation, and debriefing. These tools and phases are then placed in the Critical-Action-Response Training Outcomes Grid (CARTOG) to create nine interactions that are useful in implementing a structured yet flexible approach to improvisation in the work of critical teams. Data collection consisted of field observations, semi-structured interviews, and impromptu interviews at work sites. In total, I engaged in 55 hours of field observations at 10 sites. I conducted 31 semi-structured interviews with members of wildland and urban fire crews; emergency medical teams; and tactical teams, including SWAT teams and a bomb squad. I also offer practical implications and future directions for research on the temporal and communicative aspects of critical teams, their parent organizations, and considerations of improvisation in their work.

▼ This study investigated stereotype threat of women in petroleum engineering, a traditionally male-dominated industry. There were two main purposes to understanding communicative aspects of stereotype threat: 1) the creation of a typology of stereotype threats received and 2) the elaboration of coping strategies used to mitigate threats. This research examined contextual factors that influence women’s coping, including socialization, psychological inoculations, and memorable messages. This work is a contribution to communication research as it examines these components through the lens of scripts, which considers stereotype threat from a new perspective that suggests people are active participants in mitigating threats. To complete this study, I performed 61 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with current or former female petroleum engineers. Through constant comparison (Glaser & Strauss, 1967) I analyzed the data and produced an initial set of 13 different stereotype threats and 11 distinct coping strategies. Upon further comparison, the threats and coping strategies were each consolidated further to five core categories. This typology aligns threats on a spectrum that runs from passive actions to overt actions, and threats closely adhere to the underperformance benchmarks of previous stereotype threat research (Aronson & McGlone, 2009). The coping strategies address specific actions women take to mitigate threats, and the strategies align with the long-term responses to stereotype threat proposed by Block, Koch, Liberman, Merriweather, and Roberson (2011). In addition, the coping strategies execute problem- and emotion-based coping (Folkman and Lazarus, 1980). A distinctive feature of coping is dualistic subversions, which is when women use a subverted stereotype threat to mitigate it. Finally, this study suggests that stereotype threats and coping strategies result from childhood socialization practices, a process that writes scripts workers rely upon throughout their careers. This study is a contribution to organizational communication in how it examines ways messages are communicated in male-dominated careers and how women can use communication to mitigate negative expectations that arise in those environments. In addition, it looks at communication events that encourage women to enter male-dominated careers. Finally, it adds to communication theory because it uncovers additional ways that people use scripts to mitigate stereotyping. Advisors/Committee Members: Stephens, Keri K. (advisor), McGlone, Matthew (committee member), Ballard, Dawna (committee member), Riegle-Crumb, Catherine (committee member), Berkelaar, Brenda (committee member).

▼ An individual’s experience of perceived presence during a communicative interaction is critical to communication, psychology, information systems, and business scholars alike, as it lies at the center of all mediated experiences (Biocca, 1997; Lee, K. M., 2004; Lombard & Ditton, 1997). The increased use of mediated technology universally and in the workplace has contributed to the importance of the presence construct. The current research examines the multidimensional nature of presence, often generally described as an experience of social and physical connectedness that an individual experiences while communicating with another using information technology. Three unique dimensions of presence are addressed including perceived physical, social, and self presence. Two principle research questions are addressed. First, two media attributes, media capacity and synchronicity, are examined for their influence on each dimension of presence. In addition, demographic factors that may influence presence are discussed as controls. The second research question investigates the impact of each dimension of presence on three categories of organizationally-relevant outcomes. The three outcome categories include social, task, and interaction-oriented outcomes. Hypotheses for these two primary research questions are presented and methodology for investigating them is discussed. Findings indicate that presence is a multi-dimensional construct and that different media attributes affect each of the three types of presence in a unique way. A medium’s synchronicity is much more influential in shaping perceptions of presence than its capacity. Specifically, synchronicity was significantly related to perceived physical, social, and self presence; in contrast, the capacity of a medium affected only physical presence. In addition, each of the three forms of presence also influences the social, task-related, and communication outcomes examined differently. Implications of the research findings are discussed and possible research directions overviewed. Advisors/Committee Members: Scott, Craig R. (advisor), Ballard, Dawna I. (advisor).

▼ The purpose of this study is to investigate the ways in which members of interorganizational collaborations (IOCs) create and maintain the processes and structures of collaborative organizing. This research argues that IOCs are complex organizations that include ongoing communicative processes among individuals who act as collaborative members and constituent representatives. Specifically, this research seeks to explain how individual boundary spanners come to understand collaborative identities that create structures affecting actions and outcomes of the collaboration. Five research questions are posed using social identity theory as a guide to explore the data collected. The communication processes of IOC boundary spanners was investigated during a 13-month ethnographic field study, which included meeting observations, in-depth interviews, video stimulated recall, and document analysis. Overall, over 90% of the active members in the IOC were interviewed. Data was analyzed using the constant comparative method and organized by research question. Results indicate that boundary spanners in IOC use social identity to help orient and organize the diverse voices present within the collaboration. IOC members invoked group prototypes that created sub-groups within the IOC, thus allowing members with different goals for participation to find ways to justify membership. These prototypes also formed norms for communicating between members and created a collaborative environment that eventually led to organizational collapse. In addition, memberships within the IOC was constantly negotiated between members as the IOC worked towards certain goals. As sub-groups communicatively interacted with each other in the IOC, individuals would become more or less engaged in the collaborative process based on the successes and failures of the sub-group a boundary spanner has joined. Overall, this study helps us better understand how individuals within the IOC experience the collaboration and emphasize the importance of communication in collaborative processes. This study concludes with a discussion of the results and implications of the data for social identity theory, boundary spanner research and IOC research, as well as implications for practice. Limitations and future directions are also discussed. Advisors/Committee Members: Lewis, Laurie K. (advisor), Ballard, Dawna I. (advisor).

▼ This study investigated the experience of involuntary membership in U.S. and Norwegian prisons. The purpose of the study was two-fold: 1) offer a comprehensive understanding of the construct of membership, and 2) develop a substantive, mid-range theory of involuntary membership (Glaser & Strauss, 1967; Merton, 1968; Weick, 1974). The research questions posed were designed to clarify the experience of involuntary membership and included: What facets comprise involuntary membership?, In what ways do individuals describe the experience of involuntary membership?, and In what ways does Norwegian involuntary membership differ from U.S. involuntary membership in a prison setting? In order to answer these questions, I conducted 62 in-depth interviews in the United States and Norway with incarcerated individuals (n = 41), correctional officers (n = 10), wardens (n = 3), and prison teachers (n = 8). The interviews were dispersed across four separate prison facilities. I took a grounded theoretical approach to the data and used the constant comparative method in my analysis. Participants spoke about involuntary membership in relation to 10 distinct facets: Activities, Belongings, Body, Communication, Mind, Organizational Boundary Management, Space, Sound, Relationships, and Time. In addition, the participants in the study described their experience with involuntary membership in relation to their 1) responses to, and 2) outcomes of the phenomenon. Similarities and differences in the experience of involuntary membership between the United States and Norway were also discussed. The three-macro themes in this study came together to create a substantive, mid-range theory of involuntary membership in prisons. In order to explicate this theory, I offered a Process Model of Involuntary Membership and subsequently elucidated the theory using a structurational ontology (see Banks & Riley, 1993; Kirby & Krone, 2002) or worldview (Kilminster, 1991). This study contributes to communication research and theorizing by illuminating and addressing the limitations of previous scholarship. Theoretical implications and future research directions are also discussed. Advisors/Committee Members: Browning, Larry D. (advisor), Ballard, Dawna I. (committee member), Stephens, Keri K.
