Process of Communication
Thecommunication process is the guide toward
realizing effective communication. It is through
the communication process that the sharing of a
common meaning between the sender and the
receiver takes place.
Effective communication leads to understanding.
The sender isan individual, group, or
organization who initiates the
communication
The sender's experiences,
attitudes, knowledge, skills,
perceptions, and culture
influence the message.
"The written words, spoken words,
and nonverbal language selected
are paramount in ensuring the
receiver interprets the message as
intended by the sender" (Burnett &
7.
The first stepthe sender is faced with
involves the encoding process
The sender must begin encoding, which
means translating information into a
message in the form of symbols that
represent ideas or concepts.
Symbols can take on numerous
forms, such as languages, words, or
gestures. They are used to encode
ideas into messages that others can
8.
A good wayfor the sender to improve encoding
their message, is to mentally visualize the
communication from the receiver's point of view.
Most channels are either oral or written, but
currently visual channels are becoming more
common as technology expands.
To begin transmitting the message, the sender uses
some kind of channel (also called a medium).
The channel is the means used to convey the
message
9.
If a senderrelays a message through
an inappropriate channel, its
message may not reach the right
receivers
The sender's decision to utilize either
an oral or a written channel for
communicating a message is
influenced by several factors.
10.
The sender shouldask him or herself different
questions, so that they can select the appropriate
channel.
• Is the message urgent?
• Is immediate feedback needed?
• Is documentation or a permanent record
required?
• Is the content complicated, controversial, or
private?
• Is the message going to someone inside or
11.
After the appropriatechannel or channels
are selected, the message enters the
decoding stage of the communication
process.
Decoding is conducted by the
receiver. Once the message is
received and examined, the
stimulus is sent to the brain for
12.
Successful communication takesplace
when the receiver correctly interprets
the sender's message.
The receiver is the individual or
individuals to whom the
message is directed.
13.
The extent towhich this person comprehends
the message will depend on a number of
factors, which include the following:
• how much the individual or individuals know
about the topic,
• their receptivity to the message, and
• the relationship and trust that exists
between sender and receiver.
All interpretations by the receiver are
influenced by their experiences, attitudes,
knowledge, skills, perceptions, and culture. It is
14.
• Feedback isthe final link in the chain of the
communication process.
The signal may be a spoken comment, a long
sigh, a written message, a smile, or other
action. "Even a lack of response, is in a sense, a
form of response" (Bovee & Thill, 1992).
Without feedback, the sender cannot confirm
After receiving a message, the receiver
responds in some way and signals that
response to the sender .
15.
• Feedback isa key component in the
communication process because it allows
the sender to evaluate the effectiveness
of the message.
"Feedback plays an important role by
indicating significant communication
barriers: differences in background,
different interpretations of words, and
differing emotional reactions" (Bovee &
