dc.description.abstract |
This study investigated how organisational structure impacts communication management in the
Ghana Armed Forces. Previous studies on the Ghana Armed Forces rarely touched on
communication management. The study was qualitative, and purposively sampled senior and
junior officers for interviews and field observations. Some documents such as Armed Forces news
and memoranda were analysed for relevant information. Max Weber’s Bureaucracy Model and
Relationship Management Theory by Mary Ann Ferguson were used to analyse the organisational
structure of the Ghana Armed Forces. Narrative discussions were also used as part of data
collection. Findings showed that there was a direct link between organisational structure and
communication management in the Ghana Armed Forces. Again findings revealed that military
culture was also an additional element that influences communication management. Findings
further indicated that internal communication was based on institutionalised systems such as chain
of command, control and hierarchy. In effect, despite all the challenges faced by the Directorate
of Public Relations (DPR), communication management in the Ghana Armed Forces was still at
its best. |
