    Study Notes

    Communication Processes, Principles, and Ethics

    • Communication is inevitable; it's a process of meaning-making through channels or mediums. It involves conveying or exchanging information and ideas, derived from the Latin "communicare" (to impart, participate, or transmit).
    • Effective communication requires understanding its elements: source/sender, message, encoding, channel, decoding, receiver, feedback, environment, context, and interference/barriers.
    • There are various types of interference: psychological (thoughts hindering interpretation), physical (competing stimuli, weather, health), linguistic/cultural (differences in language and meaning), and mechanical (issues with communication channels/gadgets).

    Principles of Effective Communication

    • Nine principles for effective communication, according to Michael Osborn (2009): clarity (simple, specific language), concreteness (facts, figures, examples), courtesy (politeness), correctness (accurate grammar and language), consideration (audience awareness), creativity (interesting messaging), conciseness (simplicity & directness), cultural sensitivity (respect for diverse backgrounds), and captivating (engaging messages).

    Ethical Considerations in Communication

    • Ethical communication involves respecting the audience, considering communication results, valuing truth, using information correctly, and avoiding falsification.

    Achieving Effective Communication

    • Six key strategies for effective communication: communicate with purpose, compose messages carefully, study the receiver, select the appropriate medium, provide feedback, and act promptly on received feedback.

    Benefits of Effective Communication

    • Effective communication fosters healthy relationships, improves performance, boosts morale, creates a positive image and unity, helps achieve goals, ensures smooth functioning, increases efficiency and productivity, improves decision-making, and enhances cooperation and coordination.
