A Review of Literature: The Organizational Discourse Challenges with Integration of Social Media and Virtual Conferencing in Communication for the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Zambia During Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Convincingly, the dissemination of information has not remained the same with the advent of social media and virtual conferencing. These platforms afford efficient methods, enabling large scale, and even for Organizational Discourse communications. Suffice to point that also smaller communities are provided with vast opportunities for virtual collaboration and communication. At the same time this brings about great development towards integration of social media and virtual conferencing in communication even in religious circles and can stir an invigoration of this same process. We can here argue that due to this phenomenon, the church is being caused to depend more on social media and virtual space to hold its community but at the same time this reveals the challenges posed by digital divide among its congregants. This paper reviews a list of literature using the theoretical and systematic reviews on the present day organisational discourse practices and modelling an integrating communication system. This review of literature was done particularly with a search technique of  Social Media and Virtual Conferencing Integration”, which aims at examining what other existing literatures have embodied various aspects associated with social media and virtual conferencing integration alongside the methodologies and frameworks applied in the process. The review was based on the systematic database searched and included 20 peer reviewed articles by 2022.
