Causes of Communication Breakdown

- Perceptual and Language Differences - Information Overload - Inattention - Time Pressures - Emotions - Distraction / Noise - Emotions - Complexity in Oraganizational Structure - Poor Retention

Perception is generally how each individual interprets the world around him. All generally want to receive messages which are significant to them. But any message which is against their values is not accepted.

Perceptual and Language Differences

means different in different sentences. Communication breakdown occurs if there is wrong perception by the receiver

Value

Managers are surrounded with a pool of information. It is essential to control this information flow else the information is likely to be misinterpreted or forgotten or overlooked. As a result communication is less effective

Information Overload

At times we just not listen, but only hear. For example, a traveler may pay attention to one "NO PARKING sign, but if such sign is put all over the city, he no longer listens to it. Thus, repetitive messages should be ignored for effective communication.

Inattention

Often in organization the targets have to be achieved within a specified time period, the failure of which has adverse consequences. In a haste to meet deadlines, the formal channels of communication are shortened, or messages are partially given, i.e., not completely transferred. Thus, sufficient time should be given for effective communication.

Time Pressures

Communication is also affected a lot by noise to distractions. Physical distractions are also there such as, poor lightning, uncomfortable sitting, unhygienic room also affects communication in a meeting. Similarly, use of loudspeakers interferes with communication.

Distraction/Noise

Emotional state at a particular point of time also affects communication. If the receiver feels that communicator is angry, he interprets that the information being sent is very bad

Emotions

Greater the hierarchy in an organization (i.e. more the number of managerial levels), more is the chances of communication getting destroyed. Only the people at the top level can see the overall picture while the people at low level just have knowledge about their own area and a little knowledge about other areas

Complexity in Organizational Structure

Human memory cannot function beyond a limit. One cant always retain what is being told specially if he is not interested or not attentive. This leads to communication breakdown

Poor retention
