Abstract

In light of the communication constitution of organizations and the perspective of neo-institutionalism, the purpose of the present research was to reveal the communication dimensions or characteristics of corporate governance as an institutional framework of public relations. For a systematic review of scientific articles in the field of public relations, we used the Preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA). After an initial review of scholarly article databases, we narrowed our search to the primary scholarly journal in the field of public relations. We identified 19 communication dimensions of corporate governance and related concepts and condensed them into ten. The originality of this research lies in the identification of key communication dimensions of corporate governance as an institutional framework of public relations. The results of the research confirm the important role of communication in the processes of institutionalization of corporate management as a meaning-making process and confirm that communication is of constitutive importance for organizations.
