A study of individual boundary-spanning communication patterns in a research and development setting

Abstract This study explores patterns of individual boundary-spanning communication in a government-managed research and development setting. Individual position in the organization hierarchy and preference for risk, change, and new experiences are the most significant antecedents of general levels of boundary-spanning communication.
