Özet: There is a scholarly debate since the 1980s regarding the content, theory, methodology and application that define the scope of organizational communication and separate it from other related disciplines. These debates are based on the critics for the mainstream, functinal perpective which led to increasing research in interpretive and critical perspectives. This debate on different perspectives is critical in the sense that it enables to identity organizational communication in a rich manner and helps us define the scope of the field and its unique characteristics. Based on this debate, this article provided the history and scope of the field, analysis of the major theoretical perspectives in the field (functional, interpretive, and critical) and future trends. By discussing these topics, this article aimed to provide a holistic view of organizational communication and become a basic reference for scholars in this field.
