In this study, in order to collect research data was used the Lee standard questionnaire (2023), which in the present study its validity and reliability were checked and confirmed. The data of this study were analyzed by structural equation modeling method in SPSS and Smart PLS software.
Findings: The findings of the present study showed that there was a positive and significant correlation between the use of information and communication technology, internal communication satisfaction and employee interaction (P<0.01). Also, the model of use information and communication technology on employee interaction with the mediator of internal communication satisfaction had a good fit. In this model, the use of information and communication technology had a direct and significant effect on internal communication satisfaction and employee interaction and internal communication satisfaction had a direct and significant effect on employee interaction.
