CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Communication
is an important element in Human society in particular and living
things in general. Society?s survival and growth demand among other
things in a system of communication. According to Albert Silverstone
(1974), communication is that process that has allowed man to survive in
his current form despite his being singularly unsuited to survive in
any particular environment.
In the words of Schramm (1971),
?communication is the great relating tool. It relates individuals to
each other making it possible for groups to function and for societies
to live together harmoniously.?
Communication can be defined as the
process or the act of exchanging information between one person and
other persons. It is also the process of making information available to
others. The process of communication is the process by which messages
are formulated or amended and transmitted from the source or
communication through a channel or medium to a receiver or an audience.
Communication
is a means of bringing about change. It is the mainstream of any
organization growth. There is need form interaction and understanding of
management-employee relations this will bring about increased
performance of all parties involved in the communication process or
chain. According to Banihashemi (2011), communication as a medium, a
means to performance ends, or as constitutive, as the end in itself.
Communication is a process of transmitting information from one person
to another.
According to Stephen (2011), communication is a critical
factor in directing and mobilizing the workforce towards the
accomplishment of the organizational goals or objectives. By creating
understanding it enhances co-operation and promote effective
performance. According to Williams (2007) smart managers understand that
the end effective, straight forward communication between managers and
employees is essential for success
According to (Mckinney, Barker, Smith& Davis, 2004) communication
is essential to effective team performance and communications for any
organization is like blood flow in the human body. Therefore any
organization that understands the importance of communication uses it in
their organizational environment. Since, it ensures coordination of
factors of production and most importantly material and human elements
of organization as an efficient network of change and advancement.
According to Snavely (2001) as cited by Robins (2006), communication
process is initialed through the following means the sender-encoding-the
message-the channel decoding- the receiver- noise and feedback. It is
estimated that managers spend over 80% of their day communicating with
others. Since most of the basic management process- planning,
organizing, leading and controlling ? cannot be performed without
effective communication. Importantly, the relevance of communication
keeps advancing as the world becomes a Global village. The need to
become visible to the world has made many organizations to embrace new
technology that would increase organizational performance. There are
also many issues affecting communication ranging from difference in sex,
role of silence, inference of government and cross- cultural inference.
Therefore
it becomes important to emphasize on innovation and effective use of
communication medium or channel to bring about high performance rate.
Hence any breakdown in communication process or chain can have serious
adverse effects on organizational performance.
Clear open
communication can create a sense of transparency in your organization,
which builds trust between the levels of the employees, as keeping
employees in the dark can results in resentments, tension and a feeling
of low job security. Strong communication can help them feel valued and
trusted. Open communication can reduce feelings of uncertainty and
cluelessness about the state of the company, which makes for a
more-positive work environment and staff who feel secure and safe.
Furthermore
knowing fully that poor communication rank as the single most important
reason that people do not advance in their career as stated by
Lepsinger & Luacia (1997) it becomes that the management of the
Nigerian Brewery determines the best ?channel? in transmitting
?messages? to their staffs for effective and positive feedback. Thou
there are many barriers to communication; filtering, selective
perception, information overload, personal bias, language and
communication apprehension. Hence management must try to address these
barriers for effective result.
Communication can be a tricky concept
to master within an organization, particularly one with multiple issues.
When all parts of your organization communicate smoothly, it can
improve workflow and overall productivity. By making an effort to
improve your communication process, you can build a stronger company
that will have staying power in the market.
Communication is also,
essential to building relationship between staff members and between
levels of employees both on a professional and social level. In an
organization, one can only imagine what would happen if communication
does not exist. Employees would not be able to express their ideas; as a
result staff(s) will combine experience in coming up with innovative
solutions. Communication will prevent employees from feeling isolated,
build teamwork and creates a more collegial atmosphere in the office.
When
relationships are strong, employees are better able to trust one
another and work together more effectively. The study will therefore
examine the contributions of effective communication for enhancing the
organizational performance of Nigeria breweries 9th mile corner, Ibadan.
