Question
Answer the question.
Explain any three barriers to communication.
Solution
Three barriers to Communication are:
- Semantic Barriers: These are related to the problems in the process of encoding and decoding of the message into words or impressions. People interpret words and symbols in terms of their own experience and thinking. It includes faulty translations, technical jargon, unclarified assumptions, etc.
- Organizational Barriers:
These are related to the organisation’s structure, authority, relationships, rules, and regulations, etc. Due to long lines of communication, the flow of information gets delayed and distorted. Every layer of authority cuts off a bit of information, particularly in upward communication. - Personal Barriers:
Personal factors like judgment, emotions and social values create a psychological distance between the sender and the receiver. When there is a lack of mutual trust and confidence between the sender and receiver of the message, communication is not effective.
