CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Communication is a discipline that embraces all aspects of Human life. It forms all our actions and inactions in relationship to others. Communication takes place all the time. It can manifest itself in symbolic, verbal and non-verbal forms.
Communication is essential for social interaction. It helps in understanding ourselves, keeping in touch with other people, understanding them and being able to predict their response.
Communication particularly in business organizations provides a means by which power is acquired, exercised, shared and sustained. It is a medium by which relationships are established, extended and maintained. It is the means by which people in business organizations, politics, etc, act, interact, exchange information, ideas, develop plans, proposals and executes them.
Business and organizational communication help to orientate workers to their jobs as well as helping the supervisors to monitor the activities of the workers. Communication is an extremely invaluable asset in human organizations that explains why it has been described as the lubricant which keeps the intricate machinery of the organization going.
The term communication has been defined variously by different scholars. To Eyre E.C. communication is not just the giving of information, but also the giving of understanding of the message. On the other hand, Frank Ugbojah (1982), communication is a process which involves all acts of transmitting messages to channels which link people o the language and symbolic codes which are used to transmit message. It means messages are received and stored, and the roles, custom, conventions which define and regulate human relationship.
Defining communication within organizational context, Gerald M. Haben (1983) asserted that communication is a process of creating and exchanging messages within a network of interdependent relationship to cope with environmental uncertainty. Essentially however, communication is achieved or accomplished when it is able to provoke the desired response; but when the communication cannot communicate to the other person effectively, communication gap automatically exists. In other words, when information is wrongly conveyed, misunderstanding and misinterpretation crops up.
Beta Glass Company Ughelli which was established to help the growing need of materials in the community and sate, finding way of improving them in such a way that it will reach both community and state. Communication within the management is done orally, in writing and by mechanical means.
Directives from the top management are passed down to subordinates. Meetings are held where information are passed to the staff in oral form. No matter how small or big an organization is, it is composed of individuals each of whom is charged with specific duties and responsibilities in order to achieve the set goals.
