Abstract: In contemporary corporate landscapes, the pursuit of employee satisfaction and the influence of technology on organizational communication are pivotal considerations. Companies increasingly promote an organizational culture centered on freedom and minimal constraints, yet this abstract evaluates the authenticity of these assertions amid the technologically evolving workplace. The introduction emphasizes the dichotomy between the perceived freedoms facilitated by technology and the potential constraints it imposes on employee communication. The impact of technology on communication within companies in Romania is a focal point of investigation. While technological advancements offer expanded access to information, real-time collaboration across global teams, and flexible work arrangements, the Conclusion underscores the risks associated with excessive surveillance and communication restrictions. It highlights the adverse effects of closely monitored communication, leading to reduced privacy, employee anxiety, and compromised performance. The abstract delves into the delicate balance between technological integration and employee freedom. It addresses the need for companies to critically reflect on their communication policies to prevent the erosion of trust and loyalty among employees. Notably, it identifies the pivotal role of individuals in fostering or limiting communication, stressing the significance of an open and supportive communication environment. This study, involving 76 companies across multiple counties, examines the interplay between technological advancements and organizational communication. It reveals the importance of fostering an environment where employees feel encouraged to communicate without infringement on their rights, crucial for building loyalty and enhancing workplace effectiveness.
