Findings revealed that 1) the level of information seeking among the respondents were relatively high for written sources, and were moderates for interpersonal and electronics sources, 2) information seeking from interpersonal and electronics sources among communicators’ of DOD was higher than DOI, 3) there were no significant difference between gender and job tenure with information seeking but age were negatively related, and 4) there were positively significant relationship between information adequacy, knowledge importance, information source accessibility, and information sources usefulness with communicators’ information seeking. The major finding of this study revealed that perceived information source accessibiliiy and perceived information source usefulness were the best predictors of communicators’ information seeking behavior.
