2. barriers to communication
1. For the convenience of study the different barriers can be divided into four parts:
(1) Semantic Barriers
There is always a possibility of misunderstanding the feelings of the sender of the message or
getting a wrong meaning of it. The words, signs, and figures used in the communication are
explained by the receiver in the light of his experience which creates doubtful situations. This
happens because the information is not sent in simple language.
The chief language-related barriers are as under:
(i) Badly Expressed Message:
Because of the obscurity of language there is always a possibility of wrong interpretation of the
messages. This barrier is created because of the wrong choice of words, in civil words, the
wrong sequence of sentences and frequent repetitions. This may be called linguistic chaos.
(ii) Symbols or Words with Different Meanings:
A symbol or a word can have different meanings. If the receiver misunderstands the
communication, it becomes meaningless. For example, the word ‘value’ can have different
meanings in the following sentences:
(a) What is the value of computer education these days?
(b) What is the value of this mobile set?
(c) Value our friendship.
(iii) Faulty Translation:
A manager receives much information from his superiors and subordinates and he translates it
for all the employees according to their level of understanding. Hence, the information has to
be moulded according to the understanding or environment of the receiver. If there is a little
carelessness in this process, the faulty translation can be a barrier in the communication.
(iv) Unclarified Assumptions:
It has been observed that sometimes a sender takes it for granted that the receiver knows
some basic things and, therefore, it is enough to tell him about the major subject matter. This
point of view of the sender is correct to some extent with reference to the daily
communication, but it is absolutely wrong in case of some special message,
(v) Technical Jargon:
Generally, it has been seen that the people working in an enterprise are connected with some
special technical group who have their separate technical language.
Their communication is not so simple as to be understood by everybody. Hence, technical
language can be a barrier in communication. This technical group includes industrial engineers,
production development manager, quality controller, etc.
2. (vi) Body Language and Gesture Decoding:
When the communication is passed on with the help of body language and gestures, its
misunderstanding hinders the proper understanding of the message. For example, moving
one’s neck to reply to a question does not indicate properly whether the meaning is ‘Yes’ or
‘No’.
(2) Psychological or Emotional Barriers
The importance of communication depends on the mental condition of both the parties. A
mentally disturbed party can be a hindrance in communication. Following are the emotional
barriers in the way of communication:
(i) Premature Evaluation:
Sometimes the receiver of information tries to dig out meaning without much thinking at the
time of receiving or even before receiving information, which can be wrong. This type of
evaluation is a hindrance in the exchange of information and the enthusiasm of the sender gets
dampened.
(ii) Lack of Attention:
When the receiver is preoccupied with some important work he/she does not listen to the
message attentively. For example, an employee is talking to his boss when the latter is busy in
some important conversation. In such a situation the boss may not pay any attention to what
subordinate is saying. Thus, there arises psychological hurdle in the communication.
(iii) Loss by Transmission and Poor Retention:
When a message is received by a person after it has passed through many people, generally it
loses some of its truth. This is called loss by transmission. This happens normally in case of oral
communication. Poor retention of information means that with every next transfer of
information the actual form or truth of the information changes.
According to one estimate, with each transfer of oral communication the loss of the
information amounts to nearly 30%. This happens because of the carelessness of people.
Therefore, lack of transmission of information in its true or exact form becomes a hindrance in
communication.
(iv) Distrust:
For successful communication the transmitter and the receiver must trust each other. If there is
a lack of trust between them, the receiver will always derive an opposite meaning from the
message. Because of this, communication will become meaningless.
(3) Organisational Barriers
Organisational structure greatly affects the capability of the employees as far as the
communication is concerned. Some major organisational hindrances in the way of
communication are the following:
3. (i) Organisational Policies:
Organisational policies determine the relationship among all the persons working in the
enterprise. For example, it can be the policy of the organisation that communication will be in
the written form. In such a situation anything that could be conveyed in a few words shall have
to be communicated in the written form. Consequently, work gets delayed.
(ii) Rules and Regulations:
Organisational rules become barriers in communication by determining the subject-matter,
medium, etc. of communication. Troubled by the definite rules, the senders do not send some
of the messages.
(iii) Status:
Under organising all the employees are divided into many categories on the basis of their level.
This formal division acts as a barrier in communication especially when the communication
moves from the bottom to the top.
For example, when a lower-level employee has to send his message to a superior at the top
level there is a lurking fear in his mind that the communication may be faulty, and because of
this fear, he cannot convey himself clearly and in time. It delays the decision making.
(iv) Complexity in Organisational Structure:
The greater number of managerial levels in an organisation makes it more complex. It results in
delay in communication and information gets changed before it reaches the receiver. In other
words, negative things or criticism are concealed. Thus, the more the number of managerial
levels in the organisation, the more ineffective the communication becomes.
(v) Organisational Facilities:
Organisational facilities mean making available sufficient stationery, telephone, translator, etc.
When these facilities are sufficient in an organisation, the communication will be timely, clear
and in accordance with necessity. In the absence of these facilities communication becomes
meaningless.
(4) Personal Barriers
The above-mentioned organisational barriers are important in themselves but there are some
barriers which are directly connected with the sender and the receiver. They are called personal
barriers. From the point of view of convenience, they have been divided into two parts:
(a) Barriers Related to Superiors: These barriers are as follows:
(i) Fear of Challenge of Authority:
Everybody desires to occupy a high office in the organisation. In this hope the officers try to
conceal their weaknesses by not communicating their ideas. There is a fear in their mind that in
case the reality comes to light they may have to move to the lower level,
(ii) Lack of Confidence in Subordinates:
4. Top-level superiors think that the lower- level employees are less capable and, therefore, they
ignore the information or suggestions sent by them. They deliberately ignore the
communication from their subordinates in order to increase their own importance.
Consequently, the self-confidence of the employees is lowered.
(b) Barriers Related to Subordinates: Subordinates-related barriers are the following:
(i) Unwillingness to Communicate:
Sometimes the subordinates do not want to send any information to their superiors. When the
subordinates feel that the information is of negative nature and will adversely affect them, an
effort is made to conceal that information.
If it becomes imperative to send this information, it is sent in a modified or amended form.
Thus, the subordinates, by not clarifying the facts, become a hindrance in communication,
(ii) Lack of Proper Incentive:
Lack of incentive to the subordinates creates a hindrance in communication. The lack of
incentive to the subordinates is because of the fact that their suggestions or ideas are not given
any importance. If the superiors ignore the subordinates, they become indifferent towards any
exchange of ideas in future.
