Abstract

Nowadays, computer-mediated communication (CMC) enables the employees to ease work coordination and communication within an organization. An organization, in which hierarchy exists among its employees, must keep the communication flow in order to maintain activities leading to reach the organizational goals. Telkom Digital Service, as a part of Telekomunikasi Indonesia, Tbk utilizes a CMC tool called Slack.com as an integrated internal communication platform for employees to communicate and coordinate in- and off-working hours. Using qualitative approach, three participants were involved in in-depth interviews to gain their insights and understanding on how the platform contributed to the internal communication within the company. Recently, the researchers found that the CMC platform helped them in attaining direct information, uploading and downloading important documents, and organizing multi-channels for multi-purposes. Moreover, the participants admitted that the platform had allowed them to express emotions without any barrier caused by the hierarchy within the organization.
