Journal Title: Journal of Language and Communication - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Generally, the purpose of communication is aimed at facilitating the achievement of organizational objectives. Therefore, the primary management functions of any organization are greatly dependant on the effective use of communication. In the 21st century organizations, communication is used as the major instrument to motivate and stimulate workforce’s commitment towards the attainment of the organizational set goals. Managers must see communication beyond the mere traditional role of passing information or exchanging ideas. Rather, it should be seen as a management tool for knitting the organization together for the realization of the mission and vision of the organization. Based on this, the paper conceptually discussed the meaning of communication and organizational communication, purposes of communication in the organization, communication cycle in organizations, forms and flows of communication in organization and threats to effective communication. Also, the paper highlighted the modern communication technologies for organizational efficiency. The implications of these issues discussed for the modern organizational managers were also highlighted. Conclusion was reached in the paper based on the discussion.
