Organizational Communication

We define organizational communication’ as the sending and receiving of messages among

interrelated individuals within a particular environment or setting to achieve individual and

common goals. Organizational communication is highly contextual and culturally dependent.

Individuals in organizations transmit messages through face-to face, written, and mediated

channels.

Organizational communication is important as it can greatly impact the operations of the

business. With clear communication, a business can run smoothly and can potentially find

success. Creating clear instructions for operational tasks of the business can help to increase

efficiency. By communicating the goals and tactics for achieving those goals thoroughly, the staff

can be a more cohesive unit and work towards the goals in an efficient manner. Having good

communication is especially important when there are changes within the company. By making

sure all employees are included within the changes, such as encouraging feedback, employees

can feel that they are part of the change and may impact the outcome of the organizational

changes.

Organizational Culture

Organizational culture is generally understood as all of a company's beliefs, values and attitudes,

and how these influence the behavior of its employees.

In my research there are 4 types of Organizational Culture. These are:

(1) Adhocracy Culture – This culture allows individuals to share ideas and encourages the

company to take risks. I believe that in this culture, employees are highly motivated so
 that they can be able to express opinion, ideas, and creativity. Organizations give chances

to employees the opportunity to develop professionally.

(2) Clan Culture - A clan culture is people-focused on the sense that the company feels

family-like. This kind of company culture makes employees feel at home and share a

close relationship not only to co-employees but to all level inside the organization.

(3) Market Culture - Market culture prioritizes profitability. The goal of a market culture

company is to be the best in its industry. Though this culture has advantages to rise

above, the risk for employee burnout is very high and this can demotivate them to be

meaningfully engaged to their work.

(4) Hierarchy Culture: This is a usual corporate culture that emphasizes career paths and

provides clear managerial processes. All instruction and decisions inside the organization

must be through the chain of command.

Overall, healthy organizational communication and culture can make your employees

happier, more engaged, and work harder. This means that they will be less likely to miss

work or quit their jobs. If we want to save money in the long term and reduce turnover rates,

then we need to create a strong, healthy organizational culture.
