20.500.12556/RUL-183774 Internal communication satisfaction, engagement, and life satisfaction a process model We develop and test a process model of internal communication in which digital communication acceptance, perceived organizational support, and psychological contract fulfillment predict internal communication satisfaction, which in turn relates to employee engagement and life satisfaction. Using three-wave survey data from employees in Croatia, Slovenia, the United Kingdom, and Italy (N = 1,458), the model shows consistent structural patterns across countries while controlling for personality and cultural orientation. Results show that acceptance of digital tools, perceived organizational support, and fulfilled obligations are strongly associated with higher satisfaction. The findings advance internal communication theory by positioning communication satisfaction as a central mechanism linking organizational and technological factors to engagement and life satisfaction. digital communication acceptance employee engagement internal communication satisfaction life satisfaction psychological contract fulfillment sprejemanje v digitalni komunikaciji angažiranost zaposlenih zadovoljstvo z življenjem zadovoljstvo z notranjo komunikacijo izpolnjevanje psihološke pogodbe odnosi z javnostmi true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-06-18 13:31:01 2026-06-18 13:31:07 2026-06-19 04:14:15 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Str. 157-174 no. 3 Vol. 38 May 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 659.4 1062-726X 10.1080/1062726X.2026.2630048 269383427 Vercic_JPRR.pdf Vercic_JPRR.pdf 1 BAC2C3BE23B5B065DE487E73554A5BC5 31feab0d6e4bffd758e9c06a7425ccbf5583495bc37666659624a6eaffce1e13 98c3b02b-6b09-11f1-9b0d-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=235953 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/1062726X.2026.2630048 0 a39b1d54-6b09-11f1-9b0d-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=235954 Fakulteta za družbene vede 0 0 0
