<p>The paper examines communication dynamics within organizations, focusing on the influence of team size on communication patterns and work characteristics. In Romanian organizations, vertical communication prevails due to high power distance and collectivist mentality. Team size significantly impacts communication clarity, frequency, and formality. Smaller teams tend to have clearer, more direct communication, fostering deeper relationships among members. Larger teams feature structured communication but may suffer from reduced individual participation and satisfaction. Studies suggest optimal team sizes vary based on task complexity, with smaller teams excelling in complex tasks and larger teams in structured environments. Effective teams exhibit balanced communication patterns, with active participation from all members and direct interactions beyond formal roles. Communication patterns strongly predict team success, alongside individual skills and task context. Understanding these dynamics helps organizations tailor team structures and communication strategies for optimal performance, considering both the advantages and challenges posed by team size.</p>
