2.  INTRODUCTION:-
 Communication: Communication is defined as the process by which
information is exchanged between individuals through a system of signs,
symbols. The concept of communication involves a sender, a message
and a recipient.
 Communication Process: Sender sends the message; the recipient is the receiver.
The process is not always smooth due to communication barriers.

3.  Barriers to Effective Communication:

3. 3. Organisational barriers
4. 4. Cultural barriers
5. 5. Physical barriers
6. 6. Physiological barriers

4. 1. Semantic barriers:
Semantic barriers, also known as language barriers, arise from improper
communication between the sender and the receiver. This includes
instances of poor message quality and confusion caused by technical
language.
2. Psychological barriers:
Psychological barriers impact interpersonal communication, stemming
from the mental state of the sender or receiver. Premature evaluation,
inadequate attention, and information distortion are common instances.
3. Organisational barriers:

within an organization. Challenges arise in conveying information due to
complex structures, multiple managers, and superior-subordinate

Physical barriers to communication stem from factors like faulty
equipment, noise, closed doors, and cabins. These elements lead to
distorted information and hinder the proper flow of communication.
6.Physiological barriers:
Physiological barriers arise when a sender or receiver faces challenges
expressing or receiving messages due to physiological issues like
dyslexia or nerve disorders. These barriers impact the clarity of
communication.

6.  CONCLUSION:
Recognizing and addressing the diverse array of communication
barriers, including semantic, psychological, organizational,
cultural, physical, and physiological obstacles, is essential for
fostering effective communication. Overcoming these challenges is

facilitating a conducive communication environment in both
personal and organizational settings.
