Study Notes
What is Communication?
- Communication is a conscious attempt to share information, ideas, and attitudes with others.
- It involves getting a sender and a receiver connected for the transfer of a message or series of messages.
- Communication is only effective if the receiver understands the exact information or idea that the sender is transmitting.
Parts of Communication
- Communication is composed of three parts: sharing, understanding, and meaning.
- Sharing involves conveying thoughts, feelings, ideas, or insights to others or to oneself (intrapersonal communication).
- Understanding involves perceiving, interpreting, and relating our perception and interpretation to what we already know.
- Meaning is what is shared through communication and can be discovered by looking at context and asking questions.
Importance of Communication
- Effective communication is essential for organizational success at various levels (interpersonal, intergroup, intragroup, organizational, or external).
- Effective communication can strengthen personal relationships, help form positive bonds, and prevent misunderstandings.
- Communication helps individuals learn about others and themselves, persuade or influence others, and learn about the world around them.
- People with good communication skills are more confident and can have fun and relax.
Communication Process
- The communication process involves encoding and decoding.
- The encoder develops and sends the message, determines how the message will be received, and makes adjustments accordingly.
- Encoding is the process of turning thoughts into communication using a medium (e.g., phone call, email, text message, face-to-face meeting).
- The decoder interprets the message for themselves, turning communication into thoughts.
- Factors to consider in the communication process include noise that might interfere with the message and the level of conscious thought in encoding messages.
