STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES

I. Communication is a complex process involving distinct elements that together convey a message.

WHAT IS COMMUNICATION AND ITS PURPOSE?

Communication may be defined as the process of sending and receiving messages in which two or more people achieve understanding; the process of exchanging information.



1. Each workday consists of listening and talking 75% of the time.

2. In the workplace, managers spend 70% of their time communicating.

3. Most people fail in the workplace because of poor communication.

Three major goals or purposes of communication.

1. To inform: the process of giving information to another person.

2. To influence: the process of persuading a person’s behavior.

3. To express feeling: the process of explaining feelings.


The major components of the communication process (sender, message, and receiver) are present whenever there is communication.

MAJOR COMPONENTS OF COMMUNICATION

Two factors that affect the success of communication

- deadlines

- interferences.


A Deadline is the limited time one has to communicate about a problem or gather information.


Interferences are referred to as “noise” or barriers to communication.


There are three major components of the communication process:

Sender/TalkingMessageReceiver/Listening


The Sender wants to communicate something and decides to speak, write, send nonverbal signals, or produce a visual message.


The Message is the information that is being transmitted from sender to receiver.


As communicators we participate in five levels of communication activity.

Self-communicationOne-to-one communicationGroup communicationPublic communicationMass Media communication

THE FIVE LEVELS OF COMMUNICATION

Communication directed to yourself, sometimes referred to as an interpersonal conversation.

It is a never-ending process.External communication will not be successful until you effectively communicate with yourself.

SELF-COMMUNICATION

Communication that takes place when an individual communicates directly with another person.This can be informal, such as a quick hello, or formal, such as a prepared presentation.

This is the most widely used form of communication.

ONE-TO-ONE COMMUNICATION

Discussion within groups of people. In group communication, each participant must have

equal opportunity for speaking. This form of communication is used most widely in

informal settings, such as departmental meetings, board meetings, and business meetings.

GROUP COMMUNICATION

Presentations to groups of 20 to 25 participants.

This includes oral presentations, press conferences, classroom situations, work shops, etc.

In a public encounter, one person at a time has the presentational responsibility while others in attendance act as message receivers.

PUBLIC COMMUNICATION

Takes place when the sender is separated by some communication medium, print, film, radio, or television, from the receiver.

MASS-MEDIA COMMUNICATION

When there are barriers or interferences in the communication process, effective communication cannot exist.

BARRIERS OF COMMUNICATION

There are six major barriers that can affect communication.Selective perceptionPoor listening skillsCredibility of the senderSemanticsFilteringAvoiding details


Occurs when people block out information that they do not want to hear.

This is sometimes referred to as selective listening.

SELECTIVE PERCEPTION

Poor listening skills occur when the receiver:

has his or her mind on something else is not interested in the subject or has a poor knowledge of the subject

POOR LISTENING SKILLS

Credibility of the sender affects how people will receive a message.

If the receiver perceives the sender as insincere, communication barriers will exist.

CREDIBILITY OF THE SENDER

Semantics is when the same words mean entirely different things to different people.

Slang is often referred to as semantics.

SEMANTICS

Filtering is manipulating the information so it is perceived as the receiver desires.

This frequently occurs in management when there are several levels.

FILTERING

Avoiding details - our minds usually avoid detail and cannot remember many details in a short period of time.

AVOIDING DETAILS

Barriers are sometimes referred to as interference.

They can exist in the environment, from the sender, in the message, or from the receiver.


Interference from the environment can be described as “static”, it’s similar to what you hear on the radio or television.

Interference may occur from the sender if the information is inaccurate or if the sender misinterprets the receiver’s feedback.


Interference in the message is usually the result of sending inappropriate words, signals, or images.

Interference from the receiver is usually the result of the receiver’s personal opinions keeping him or her from listening or reading with an open mind.


Good leaders are good communicators.

Leadership is the ability to move or influence others to achieve individual and/or group goals.

All forms of communication are important when working with others.
