such communication. It also leads to rumours which are
not true. People’s behavior is often affected by rumours
and informal discussions which sometimes may hamper the
work environment.

Unofficial communication refers to employee
communication outside of the workplace on matters
unrelated to work.

11. MethodofCommunication
Management uses various effective methods of
communication with internal and external
audiences. The most common traditional methods and
styles are oral, written, face -to-face, nonverbal,
physical nonverbal, paralanguage and visual. A better
understanding of these methods and styles will help
management in knowing as well as dealing with staff in
a better way, clear any misconceptions or
misunderstandings that may exist and thus contribute
to the organization’s success.
12. OralCommunication
There are two parts of oral communication:
active listening - It is where the person, who receives
the message pays attention to the information,
interprets and remembers.
constructive feedback - It is where managers fail most
of the time. Feedback needs to be constructive and
then it will help the employees to shape up their
performance instead of mere criticism .
