Research on Internal Communication and Cooperative Learning Communities in Chinese Universities from the Perspective of Positive Organizational Behavior

Abstract

This study aims to explore the relationship between internal communication and cooperative learning communities in Chinese
universities from the perspective of Positive Organizational Behavior (POB). In the context of China's society undergoing
significant transformations, the demand for personal growth and societal transition from educational institutions has become
increasingly crucial. Cooperative learning communities (CLC), as a collaborative learning approach adopted by the entire
faculty and students based on predetermined organizational principles, are considered an effective mechanism for advancing
educational quality and fostering comprehensive student development.
Employing various methods, including surveys and teacher interviews, this research investigates the mutual influence and
correlation between internal communication and cooperative learning communities in Chinese universities. Guided by the
theory of POB, we examine the significance of internal communication and cooperative learning communities in shaping and
developing the educational ecosystem of higher education institutions. Previous research findings demonstrate that internal
communication from the perspective of POB plays a pivotal role in fostering the formation and stability of cooperative
learning communities. Effective internal communication channels facilitate improved collaboration and knowledge-sharing
among students, thereby enhancing their learning outcomes. Moreover, the active participation and support of teachers have
positive effects on the establishment and maintenance of learning communities. Teachers promote positive interactions among
students within the communities through encouraging collective learning and providing personalized guidance. Furthermore,
the existence and development of CLC also yield positive impacts on POB. These communities create a positive learning
environment for students, enhancing their learning motivation and self-efficacy. The application of POB theory plays a critical
role in the construction of CLC within higher education institutions.
In conclusion, this study delves into the relationship between internal communication and cooperative learning communities
in Chinese universities from the perspective of POB. It explores the formation and operational mechanisms of CLC,
contributing valuable theoretical and practical insights for optimizing educational management, nurturing comprehensive
student development, and advancing the overall development of higher education institutions.
