Action note: In: Summary: ABSTRACT: The study was conducted to find out the needs and patterns of small group communication (SGC) in the PLM Graduate School; benefits and level of satisfaction derived from SGC activities. A total of 35 respondents participated in the survey-questionnaire given to a total of 65 faculty members who taught in August 1993. It was found that majority (68%) of the respondents are involved in small group communication (SGC) which confirms their membership in SGC. The faculty respondents were involved in committee work (46%) and discussion group (21%) and barkadahan (21%) as the nature of SGC activities. All of the respondents (100%) involved in SGC expressed benefits/ advantages that can be derived from this involvement. Forty six per cent (46%) of the respondents said SGC benefits redound to the group as a working unit and serve as a facility in problem-solving according to 41% of the respondents. Almost all (92%) of the respondents said that satisfaction can be guaranteed in SGC. The study has found the answers to the objectives of the research as follows: a) The structure is more formal since the academe presses on more official activities, although some are a bit of social functions. b) The frequency of SGC is only weekly since almost all faculty members are teaching on part-time basis. c) The SGC leader banks more on authority than any other requirements to lead in the communication. d) The common problem in SGC is low interaction brought about by less frequent meetings and absence of a venue for meeting. Finally, the study revealed the vital factors such as field of specialization and age bracket have no significant effects on the nature of SGC involvement; and the benefits derived from SGC leading to satisfaction level among the members. However, despite the study findings which revealed no relationship between and among, SGC membership and satisfaction level, including other variables showing possible relationships based on chi-square computations; the results were encouraging to merit the design and implementation of a small group communication program in the academe, and the inclusion of a program for future research in this field to harness the potentials of small groups in organizations.
