Management of Organizational Communication Related to Cycling Activities during the COVID-19 Situation

Abstract

        The outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a crisis that has occurred and had a significant impact on the public. Therefore, both the government, private sector, and related agencies must have systematic measures to address the crisis. Simultaneously, there must be communication plans during crisis situations used to communicate with the public. This information must be beneficial to the recipients, enabling them to use it for decision-making or to behave correctly and continue their daily lives accurately. Cycling activities have been one of the activities organized, and there have been modifications in the format of conducting activities to be aligned and suitable with the situation under the cooperation of both the government and private sectors. Channels of communication in the communication process and attitudes are important variables affecting participation in cycling activities. Moreover, perception of information on public health measures in organizing new cycling activities in the COVID-19 situation stimulates confidence in decision-making to participate in activities. However, at the same time, the influence of reference groups becomes a variable that does not affect attitudes and participation in new cycling activities in the COVID-19 situation.
