Abstract
A framework is explained that maintains corporate productivity is enhanced when organizations nurture employee independent‐mindedness. An argumentative‐low verbally aggressive organizational communication climate is believed to create the freedom which nurtures independent‐mindedness. A study of 131 superior‐subordinate dyads in a large number of organizations investigated some of these assumptions.Keywords
