The Roles of Effective Communication in the Smooth Running of an Organization
Keywords:
information, organization, Effective communicationAbstract
No Organization can survive without effective communication. The purpose of
communication is to control, co-ordinate and adjust the Organization to changes
in its environment. It is very true that communication and administration in any
Organization work hand in hand. The two are complimentary to each other. One
cannot do without the other. This is why interaction within an Organization is
seen as the corner stone of any Organization. If there is no communication within
an Organization, all organizational objectives will fail. It is on this note that this
study examines the roles of effective communication in the smooth running of an
organization. This study has identified among others lack of trust as one of the
problems of communication in an Organization. The study therefore maintains
that Organizations stand to perform well and increase their productivity only if
information which will dispel bias and lack of trust among members of the system
is given its proper place.
