Defining Interpersonal communication

Communication is categorized into different types that include intrapersonal, interpersonal, group and mass communication (Overall and McNulty 2017). This paper will focus on interpersonal communication as it has a significant role to play in modern organizations. In order to answer the query as to the reason why managers should prioritize effective communication, it is important to explain interpersonal communication clearly.

Interpersonal communication refers to the two-way communication involving two individuals. The sender and the receiver in interpersonal communication communicate via face-to-face communication (Carr and Hayes 2015). It could be either verbal that is spoken or non-verbal that is through gestures and signs. Messages conveyed through interpersonal communication do not possess the same meaning as the words spoken. In cases where the individuals involved in interpersonal communication hail from different linguistic or cultural backgrounds, the messages conveyed sometimes become blurred or confusing.

 This happens because of the noise, the linguistic and cultural barrier. People from separate cultures might interpret different meanings of the messages conveyed. One good example of this noise in interpersonal communication could be of an individual from Asian and a Western nationality. To the Western individual, kissing on the hand to greet someone is a part of his or her culture but the same is considered unwelcomed for the Asian.

 It has been seen that Employee welfare is a term including various services, benefits and facilities offered. This study is to investigate the importance of communication and addressing its barriers among managers. The quality of work life of employees and employers depend upon various factors. One of the most important factors of that is effective communication. The effective communication leads to transparency and the attitude of employees towards work or towards a job.

Communication means transmitting and interpreting information within organization. The managerial behaviour can greatly hamper the communication and information clarity. The effective and transparency of communication of employees and managers are highly required for better productivity and less conflicting situations in the organization. The purpose of present study is to find out the effective communication in higher management of any organization and the need of that. Also how aspects of communication can be related to sustainability, how communication of sustainability can affect the achievements.

 Importance of interpersonal communication

It is of no doubt that, interpersonal communication, however vague or chaotic it could be, has undeniable importance in all spheres of life. In business particularly, interpersonal communication is at use in every stage and thus holds utmost importance. Interpersonal communication is used to resolve conflicts, manage crisis, build strong teams, and become a great leader amongst other things. Thus, one can see the level of importance interpersonal communication has in the field of management or business. Conflicts in organizations occur due to the lack of proper and effective communication, which then leads to poor performance and outcome. In order to resolve the conflict, managers have to listen to and provide suggestions or instructions to both conflicting parties.

As Sarapaivanich and Patterson (2015) opine, budding managers or entrepreneurs often show a deficiency of interpersonal skills when they enter the real world of business. This restricts them from acquiring the skills to manage conflicts. The manager, the author further states, has the most important role in an organization because she or he has to communicate interpersonally with subordinates, clients, guests, peers and superiors to prevent and manage conflicts. Effective management of conflict demonstrates strong leadership along with the ability to motivate. An able leader is thus the one who has refined interpersonal skills that he or she utilizes to manage crisis.

Effects in the workplace

In the workplace, interpersonal communication is the most dominant form of communication because it is inevitable that two individuals would communicate with each other at any point of time for any reason. When two people communicate in a workplace whether for work purpose or just causally, it is bound to produce some result wither positive or negative. Fluker and Murray (2017) highlight the effects of IC in the workplace by referring to the productive interchange of ideas. The author stresses on the positive effects of IC and states that transformational leadership is a result of effective interpersonal communication.

Goby, Nickerson and David (2015) on the other hand focuses on the ways that colleagues from multicultural backgrounds interact with each other and the effect it has on the organization. At the workplace, it is inevitable that people from different cultural and social backgrounds would work together and they would most certainly engage in interpersonal communication. These interactions often lead to increased understanding between colleagues and team. However, IC might also have the negative impact of conflicts as well. When workers representing the dominant class start harassing or bullying workers hailing from minority background, it produces severe consequences. It is thus evident that IC has significant effect in the workplace.

Defining persuasion

Persuasion, in its simplest terms refers to the process of convincing someone successfully to achieve a particular result. It is an umbrella term used in place of influence. Persuasion can endeavor to manipulate the belief, attitudes, behaviors and motivations of an individual. In the field of business, persuasion is used as a tool to mold or change the attitudes of the consumers towards any service or product. Eilu, Baguma and Pettersson (2014) define persuasion as the tool that people use intentionally or intentionally in their everyday life to turn things into their advantage.

 Every individual is involved in the process of persuasion even without knowing; for example, parents persuade their children to study by comparing them with other children and saying that if they do not study they will not get what others will. (Steinfatt and Janbek 2016) traces the development of the concept of persuasion back to the 1940s and 1950s, when both politicians and advertising campaigners used it as propaganda. The concept has evolved remarkably since then and is now the most powerful tool for managers.

            Managers and leaders across organizations and across countries have recognized the impact of persuasion. It has the power to take a business to peak by making people buy the particular service or product even if it is not significant.

Importance of persuasion

Those who do not have much idea regarding its effectiveness at times perceive persuasion in a negative way. In order to make people understand the positive role of persuasion in business, it is important to bring forth its importance (Jacks and Lancaster 2015). In today’s global business environment, businesses face stiff competition each day. Persuasion helps managers to attract and keep their customers attached to the organization. Those who work in the field of marketing and sales are more aware of the importance of persuasion. They need this tool to lure and confirm customers in order to earn profit for the company and for themselves as well. Most ad campaigns or solo ads are forms of persuasion. Persuasion is important for political leaders because it decides their fate during elections. If they succeed in persuading the voters, they win elections and consequently attain power. Persuasion is done not only through physical means but also happens at the psychological level as well. During the 19^th century when the world was divided into two blocs, the leaders realized the importance of persuasion. In the modern world however, its importance is realized in areas of business and politics only (Jowett and O'donnell 2014).

Practicing the art of persuasion

The Hypodermic Needle theory, the magic bullet theory, Persuasion theory and the Stimulus-response model – all constitute the different theories that may explain the art of using persuasion. These theories help in understanding the influence of persuasion and then practicing it. According to the Hypodermic Needle theory, mss media or for that fact, anyone having some control over things has immediate and powerful effect on the subjects. The magic bullet theory is formed on the same premise. The Persuasion theory on the other hand, states that people could be influenced to act in a certain way by changing their attitudes through use of powerful words or actions.

An understanding of these theories could help in practicing the art of persuasion. Apart from that, managers could also follow certain steps to persuade the receiver (Jarding, Bouchard and Hartley 2017).

• Repeating a message
• Being specific with the message, that is postulating the message as per individuals
• Using contradicting story scenarios to induce an impact
• Giving personal touch to the message to match receiver setting
• Taking help from friends to produce warm effect on receivers
• Provide evidences of interests

Findings

Effective communication

Four major loop wholes of communication are faced by the organization and the management which is related with interpersonal aspects of communication. One of the important problem that is faced by the company is that the interpersonal aspects of communication. The employees use to communicate in order to persuade and influencing others with their decisions within the organization.

 According to (Lähtinen et.al. 2017) another problem that is faced by the organization is the organization as a whole has formal communication structure but there is no informal channel within the organization and thus the interpersonal relationship and communication of the employees are hardly smooth. The aspects of communication should be equivalent with the graph of achievement and activities with the organization. The problems that are also faced by the company is the rigid behavior of managers that is leading to lesser well being of employees as well as of the organization, which hinders in the corporate social responsibility of the business affecting in customer and employee loyalty and resulting in decreased positive reputation.

Communication problems

Effective leadership is dependent upon effective communication of the employees (Boluk et.al. 2017). Communication plays a critical role in the advancement of work culture and in success of business. The communication problem which is faced there is absence of informal channel of communication within the organization. Employee performance is largely dependent upon the effective communication of the organization (Massey et.al.2017). When the communication system is favorable the employees are encouraged and motivated to achieve the personal as well as able to meet the organizational goals. But the lack of effective communication leads to the communication gap and dissatisfaction and distress in the work environment.

Barrier in effective communication process

There are different kind of barriers in the process of communication within the company, two of the most prominent barriers of communication faced that are environmental communication barrier and personal communication barrier. The inadequacy to listen and pay attention to information between sender and receiver and the understanding of the information creates a gap of understanding leading to ineffective communication. The important communication barrier is personal barrier. Personal barrier can be depicted as frame of reference of an individual or an attitude of manager. The beliefs, values and ideas, prejudice that are followed by managers which act as personal communication barrier in an organization (Longest et.al. 2000). The other barriers of communication are selective perception which is basically a cognitive distortion of an individual which can be described as biased thinking process of an individual.

Communication channels

The communication channel can be of two basic types, one is formal communication and another is informal communication. Strategic communication should be followed by the managers in effective and persuasive, clear and concisely for decision making. The intra organizational communication flow can be upward, downward, horizontal and diagonal. Upward communication occurs with the higher level of management and subordinates (Sit et.al. 2017). Downward communication flow occurs when managers need to provide information to the subordinates. Horizontal communication occurs when the information is communicated between co-workers. Diagonal communication occurs between different levels and departments of the organization. The lack of intra organizational communication channel might lead to the lack of communication network. It hinders the ability to optimize performance and produces a culture of distrust uncertainty between the employees which affects in business ineffectiveness and lower employee engagement (Omilion et.al. 2017).

Analysis

Importance of interpersonal communication and aspects

Interpersonal communication gap can be depicted as the gap of information between receiver and sender. The gap might be created because of various reasons that might be of lack of communication skills or the clarity of the information or might be related with some psychological of personal barriers of the managers. There are certain strategies that can be taken for more transparency of communication and clear network connection.

According to Fayol’s classical theory (1949), the various informal groups should be encouraged and strengthened for providing autonomy and play an influential part within the company.  For making better communication network within the organization the horizontal organizational structure and communication should be encouraged and followed. The interest and new ideas should be taken into consideration for generating vast solution of any crysis. The communication sometimes varies with individual and personality difference (Neill et.al. 2017). The rigidity and obsessive thoughts of any higher management can make an impact on the organizational climate and work culture as well as in the job satisfaction of the employees. Persuasive communication of the managers has great impact on the decision making process of any hired as the message tend to shape concept, motivate individual or carry effective change process.

Based on research by Miller (1980), it can be analyzed that, persuasive communication can affect an individual’s behaviour inadvertently as it is a subset of communication process and intended to affect others response. Communication means transmitting and interpreting information in the organization. Feedback plays an important role in the process of organizational communication, but the managerial behavior can greatly hamper the communication and information clarity. There are some strategies that can be taken for making a change in the communication smooth, for making less communication gap the barriers should be removed and should be taken action for any ineffectiveness or gap (Ackerman et.al. 2017). Sustainable development is embedded with the organizational culture of the organization. Sustainable development is thus a process of mutual understanding which can be dealt with future improvements and developments.

The critical analysis of the problem and the solution that can be drawn is not noticed. Thus the problem with the communication has aroused within the management. CSR (corporate social responsibility) is important for economic and organisational growth as this deals with analyzing the customers’ needs and can be used in brand quality and brand loyalty of consumes(Tian, D.,  2017). An ineffective communication or communication gap may lead to the environment of distrust which affect greatly in the position of the company in the global market. Also the rigid managerial behaviour and the lack of open door communication channel raised the questions of communication gap of managers.

 Recommendations

The employees of the organization should be motivated and empowered and should be provided by autonomy to feel like they are part of the organization and capable of making decisions in the team. The effective communication of managers should be non-judgmental and bias free for making information more transparent and less vague as that increase the chance of distrust and disregard of information within the work environment. Free flow and constructive communication of the employees should be encouraged. Any prejudice or frame of reference of managers should be highly avoided and eradicated.

The use of grapevine communication process should be encouraged within the higher management. The attitude and prejudice of the managers should be counselled and should bring change by the process of self-analysis and exercise. Multiple channels should be introduced for better communication process. The shared view of empathy and knowledge management skills should be introduced for management. The time frame and training and skill improvement strategies should be taken for the improvement of communication and action plans should be introduced. For decision making a participative decision making should be implemented and required. Counselling, questionnaire and interview questions should be assessed and recommended as tools.

The challenge of effective business communication

Communication is one of humanity's greatest achievements. In our times it is surprising and even alarming, the fact that communication has managed to cross borders thanks to the advancement of technology. The communication allows the news to be transmitted almost at the same time as it happens, for any event it has the internet, email, fax, teleconferences, cell phones and we have the chat in one click. According to Calvin 2004 [i]in his book "Acts of communication: from commitment and hope" indicates that an optical fiber can transport two hundred times more information than a coaxial cable; fiber optic repeaters can be separated from each other by more than 100 km, compared to approximately 1.5 km in traditional electrical systems; a single pair of fiber optic cables can transmit more than 1,000 simultaneous conversations; fiber optic networks are capable of hosting 500 television channels, can receive 34,000 telephone lines roundtrip.

Communication is essential to resolve a conflict, coordinate functions of the work team, manage a successful company, make sales and win customers. All managers must identify their communication skills and understand the challenges involved, but effective communication is not an easy topic, communicating effectively means going beyond saying the right words and involves knowledge of crucial elements of the communicative act.

As indicated by the Royal Academy of the League 2011 [ii], the act of communicating is simple, but what should matter most when sending a message should be effective, in the same way, it is the communication in the organizations as a process through one of the parts of the organization is put in contact with another part and within a company the communication becomes a strategic instrument to operate on the reality and the future of the business. The company must ensure that the messages and the different orders that are taught arrive conveniently; there are two models in formal and informal communication.

              The formal communication channels that obey a hierarchical or predetermined structure by which the messages are transmitted are directed according to the efficiency that is desired. According to Robbins 2004[iii], the way a formal message moves within the organization is serialized and structured and can be; When descending, when managers, managers or directors communicate with their subordinates. It is used to assign goals, give work instructions, inform subordinates of policies and procedures, point out problems that need attention and offer feedback about performance, upward. This it flows from lower levels to superiors in organizations; it is used to provide progress towards goals and to inform current problems, horizontally, when communication is between members of work groups of the same level or in general among any staff of horizontal level.

 It is effective because it saves time and facilitates the exchange of ideas that result in improving actions and accelerating some processes and decisions. The informal communication channel that links its members only because of the empathy generated between them, are not planned, not only interprets the "official" information, but also produces its own "unofficial" information. The bad news through an In-formal channel creates a climate of uncertainty, which translates into demotivation and pessimism and affects productivity.

The business communication process is linked to globalization, the technological innovation, competition, instability and unpredictability. In the face of this reality, companies try to achieve effective and efficient results according to the objectives for which they arose and deal with. to have better human resources, who are the life of the organization. The communicative process is a process of exchange of messages; messages that have content and that have affective-emotional elements. This exchange occurs between a sender and a receiver. The sender, who initiates the communication must have an intention, design what he wants to say and implement the channel to communicate. The receiver receives the message, decodes it to immediately feedback to the sender of what he understood, which helps the sender to clarify what he said and avoid misunderstandings

 
Top management must make effective communication a priority; basically, because it is the only way to meet the objectives of the area, the process and the goals of the Company. For all human beings to communicate effectively is a great challenge and more for management. Rivers 2004[iv], plans nine key aspects for effective communication; 1. Listen actively and reflectively. 2. Feedback of the message received. 3. Clarification of the intention. 4. Clear and complete expression. 5. Use of simple language. 6. Translation of complaints in specific applications. 7. Open and creative questions. 8. Reinforcement of words with actions 9. Use of several channels.

Active and reflective listening; listening is a very important skill, but it costs a lot of work and practice, Rivers indicates that a manager should not immediately expose his point of view, the manager should listen to all the proponents, understand the message of each one and thus disagree with some, avoid judging for consolidation the best strategy that unifies the focus on results. But, how to feedback what is heard? first clarifying the understanding of the message and asking for more information, if the sender shouts its tuning is maintained but it is answered by gradually lowering the voice so that the person analyzes or achieves the insight of the tone of your voice is good practice, look into your eyes while listening and give feedback. Finally, if the manager before listening, gives his point of vita, must take into account that affects the quality of the communication process, which affects even worse if the person comes to communicate a sensitive issue for him, a conflict or some emotion negative.

Clarifies the intention is the key to avoid misunderstandings and erroneous readings of the message. The intentionality is expressed in the simplest way possible, the more important the topic to be treated, the clearer the recipient must be, the intentionality of the communication and if it receives the consent of the receiver, the probability of success of that activity increases. A clear and complete expression avoids waste of time, this in the companies in a factor of important success. The use of simple language is a challenge, technical words are important because they express professionalism and at certain times, mastery of the topic, but they should be used only to the extent just. Their excessive use can lead to a totally abstract conversation, to give a clear and complete expression is recommended the use of a language in the first person, should speak directly of the subject, the level of importance and the achievement that is projected of this action. If you have real data, talk about the consequences for the company.

Management must translate complaints into specific requests, criticism is a defensive element, leads to counterattack, responds with criticism and turns the conversation into a spiral of accusations. If in business life the achievement of the objectives is through problem solving, management must resume the dialogue, clarify the intention and establish the objectives. Useful and creative questions focus the conversation on certain aspects and guide the interaction, open questions seek alternatives, solve problems, build among the management team, closed questions, are to identify the position and / or closure of the conversation.

The example of senior management makes a healthy, ethical control environment and committed to the company's goals. Reinforcement of the words with actions, make a coherent and integral high management, it is necessary the congruence between the spoken message (denotative, verbal) and the non-spoken (metacommunicative, extraverbal). The use of several channels, all formal is part of the best approach that a Manager can have for decision making, however, it is strategic to know about the effects of informal channels.

 
Communicating is a challenge and increasingly important if it is an effective communication. Communication helps us to clarify details and avoid misunderstandings, it saves us in conflict situations, it facilitates us to have feedback from those around us, to better coordinate functions and avoid damaging our closest relationships that are an important source of satisfaction and enrichment. When communication in any type of organization works correctly, obstacles can be anticipated and remedied more easily, and the desired results obtained in a better way.
