COMMUNICATION
BREAKDOWN
PERCEPTUAL AND LANGUAGE
DIFFERENCES
• Perception is generally how each individual interprets the
world around him. All generally want to receive
messages which are significant to them. But any
message which is against their values is not accepted. A
same event may be taken differently by different
individuals.
• The linguistic differences also lead to communication
breakdown. Same word may mean different to different
individuals
PERCEPTUAL AND LANGUAGE
DIFFERENCES
• For example: consider a word “value”.
• What is the value of this Laptop?
• I value our relation?
• What is the value of learning technical skills?
“Value” means different in different sentences. Communication
breakdown occurs if there is wrong perception by the receiver
INFORMATION OVERLOAD
People are surrounded with a pool of information. It is
essential to control this information flow else the
information is likely to be misinterpreted or forgotten or
overlooked. As a result communication is less effective.
INATTENTION
• At times we just not listen, but only hear
For example:
a traveler may pay attention to one “NO PARKING” sign,
but if such sign is put all over the city, he no longer listens
to it. Thus, repetitive messages should be ignored for
effective communication.
TIME PRESSURES
• Often in organization the targets have to be achieved
within a specified time period, the failure of which has
adverse consequences. In a haste to meet deadlines,
the formal channels of communication are shortened, or
messages are partially given, i.e., not completely
transferred. Thus sufficient time should be given for
effective communication.
DISTRACTION/NOISE
• Communication is also affected a lot by noise to
distractions. Physical distractions are also there such as,
poor lightning, uncomfortable sitting, unhygienic room
also affects communication in a meeting. Similarly use of
loud speakers interferes with communication.
EMOTIONS
Emotional state at a particular point of time also affects
communication. If the receiver feels that communicator is
angry he interprets that the information being sent is very
bad. While he takes it differently if the communicator is
happy and jovial (in that case the message is interpreted
to be good and interesting).
POOR RETENTION
• Human memory cannot function beyond a limit. One cant
always retain what is being told specially if he is not
interested or not attentive. This leads to communication
breakdown.
