Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology has transformed the educational landscape, particularly in how teachers communicate with students belonging to Generation Z digital natives who demand interactive, personalized, and responsive learning environments. This study aims to examine how teachers reconstruct their communication styles to align with the learning characteristics and expectations of Generation Z students from the perspective of digital pedagogy. Employing a qualitative approach, this research uses classroom observations and in-depth interviews with high school teachers and students to explore the dynamics of teacher-student communication in digitally mediated classrooms. The findings reveal that effective communication with Generation Z requires a shift from traditional, directive styles toward more dialogic, empathetic, and technology-integrated interactions. Teachers who adopt multimodal communication strategies, facilitate two-way engagement, and demonstrate authenticity tend to foster higher levels of student motivation and participation. Additionally, the research highlights the importance of emotional presence and immediacy in maintaining attention and building trust with Generation Z learners. These insights underscore the necessity for educators to continuously adapt their communicative practices in response to evolving digital contexts. The study concludes that reconstructing communication styles is not merely a pedagogical adjustment but a strategic imperative to enhance educational relevance and effectiveness in the 21st-century classroom. The research contributes to the discourse on digital pedagogy by offering practical and theoretical implications for teacher training, classroom interaction design, and the broader transformation of educational communication in the digital age

Abstract

This study explores the role of leadership communication in shaping organizational culture through the lens of the Communicative Constitution of Organizations (CCO) theory. While previous studies often treat leadership and culture as separate organizational elements, this research positions communication as the core mechanism that constitutes both. The objective of this study is to examine how leaders’ communicative practices—ranging from narrative construction to discursive interactions—actively create, maintain, and transform organizational culture. Employing a qualitative case study method, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis within a values-based organization. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify communicative patterns that reflect the enactment of leadership and the constitution of cultural values. The findings indicate that leadership communication does not merely reflect organizational culture but functions as its constitutive force, particularly through symbolic narratives, strategic language, and everyday interactions that reinforce shared meanings. Furthermore, the study reveals how organizational members co-author these cultural narratives through engagement with leadership discourse. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of viewing leadership as a communicative process that continuously shapes organizational reality. This study contributes to the development of communicative organizational theory and offers practical implications for leaders aiming to build strong, value-driven organizational cultures through intentional and inclusive communication
