    Study Notes

    Organizational Barriers

    • Major organizational barriers include stringent rules and regulations that can hinder open communication.
    • These barriers can result in reduced information flow and a lack of transparency among employees.

    Impact of Stringent Organizational Rules

    • Stringent rules create a rigid communication environment, often leading to misunderstandings and misinterpretations.
    • Employees may feel restricted, impacting their willingness to share ideas or feedback freely.

    Hierarchical Position and Communication

    • Hierarchical positions create power dynamics that affect how messages are sent and received within an organization.
    • Individuals in higher positions may receive communication differently than those in lower positions, potentially leading to information distortion.

    Consequences of Message Avoidance

    • When employees feel compelled to escape sending messages due to strict organizational rules, vital information may be lost.
    • This avoidance leads to decreased collaboration and innovation, as employees hesitate to voice their thoughts or concerns.

    Role of Organizational Policies

    • Organizational policies shape communication protocols, defining acceptable behaviors and methods of information exchange.
    • Effective policies can promote clarity and encourage a culture of open dialogue, while poor policies result in confusion and frustration.
