Organizational Communication Chapter Eight

© Copyright Prentice-Hall Communication Concepts Communication is defined as the process by which a person, group or organization (the sender) transmits some type of information (the message) to another person, group or organization (the receiver) Channels of Communication include telephone lines, radio and television signals, fiber-optic cables, mail routes, and even the airwaves that carry the vibrations of our voices

© Copyright Prentice-Hall Encoding is the process of translating an idea into a form, such as written or spoken language, that can be recognized by a receiver Decoding is the process of converting a message back into a sender’s original ideas Feedback is the process of providing information about the impact of a message on the receiver Noise is the name given to factors that distort the clarity of messages Communication Concepts

© Copyright Prentice-Hall Formal Communication Formal communication is the process of sharing official information with others who need to know it. Formal communication usually follows the prescribed pattern of interrelationships between various units of an organization, which is commonly depicted in an organization chart

© Copyright Prentice-Hall Formal Communication Formal communication is driven by the hierarchical structure of the organization according to general principles of management (Fayol, Weber, etc.) Unit of command: one supervisor Scaler principle: line of authority Span of control: 3-8 subordinates Line/staff distinction: major dichotomy

© Copyright Prentice-Hall Formal Communication Downward communication consists of instructions, directions, and orders – that is, messages telling subordinates what they should be doing – as well as feedback Upward communication consists of messages that managers need to do their jobs, such as data required to complete projects, suggestions for improvement, status reports, and new ideas Horizontal communication consists of messages that flow laterally, including efforts at coordination and attempts to work together

© Copyright Prentice-Hall Informal Communication Informal communication consists of information shared without any formally imposed obligations or restrictions The grapevine refers to the pathways along which unofficial information travels Rumors are messages that transmit information that is almost totally without any basis in fact and is unverifiable

© Copyright Prentice-Hall Forms of Communication Verbal communication consists of transmitting and receiving ideas using words Oral: face-to-face talks, telephone conversations Written: faxes, letters, messages Nonverbal communication consists of transmitting and receiving ideas without words Facial gestures, body language, clothes
