an organization as it and serves many functions in organization.
What people in the organization say has a meaningful impact on
the total system of the organization. Encouraging subordinates
to communicate and participate in decision-making not only
can promote commitment among the subordinates, but also
increase job satisfaction among people who interact and work
interdependently. Based on this belief, this quantitative study
was to systematically develop a reliable and valid construct that
can facilitate and enhance the different Management
Communication Style (MCS) in the Malaysian context. Four
dimensions of MCS namely Tell, Sell, Consult and Join were
identified through an extensive literature review by following
Hinkin’s suggestions for construct development. A survey
questionnaire was administered to 388 executives working
directly under Human Resource Managers in the state-owned
organization known as Government Link Companies (GLCs).
A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was initially conducted
on 20 items to explore the structure underlying the set of
questions designed. The results of CFA confirmed that the
measurement scale used in this study satisfactorily met the
standard of validity and reliability analyses. The MCS construct
provides a multi-dimensional assessment tool to diagnose and
guide organizational communication.

employees’ satisfaction [2]. Managers who exercise more
employee centered and interactive MCS would increase
satisfaction among employees and vice versa [2]. According
to Richmond and McCroskey [3], employees’ satisfaction
could be directly varied by altering the management style of
the organization or selection of a supervisor with a differing
communication style. Numorous researchers that have
examined elements in the working environment agreed that,
communication between supervisors and subordinates and
inviting them to participate in decision-making process has
