A Comunicação Organizacional No Centro Vocacional São João Paulo II

Abstract

This study is part of the interface between Communication and religion, with emphasis on the process of Organizational Communication at the São João Paulo II Vocational Center – the first seminary of the Archdiocese of Palmas. The purpose of this research is to understand the communication dynamics of the Seminar, considering its internal and external communication processes, flows, networks and strategies. To support this qualitative research, according to the objectives outlined in the construction of a Theoretical Reflection, we searched for bibliographic references in Organizational Communication theorists and the official guidelines on social communication from both the Vatican and the National Bishops Conference of Brazil (CNBB). From this perspective, the techniques of Qualified Conversations and the principles of Institutional Research were applied to collect and analyze data on the physical, sociocultural, and communicational structure of the Seminar. This knowledge, combined with the researcher's experience and unrestricted access to the Institution's directors, made it possible to draw a profile of communication as well as to verify potential deficiencies and point out the obstacles to the development of more effective communication in the Vocational Center.
