Communication is a way of exchanging message, information or emotions between sender and receiver. In the process of communication, there may be 'noise' which is called barrier to communication.
So, any problem, interference on on hindrance to the process of communication is identified as the barrier to communication.
Luise E. Boone and Others said about barriers to communication...
1) At the level of sender
2) At the level of medium
3) At the level of receiver
Any type of barrier is a threat and can cause miscommunication, misconception and confusion. All these work against unity, teamwork & co-ordination. On the other hand, miscommunication may hamper business development.
"Communication barriers are the problems that arise at every stage of the communication process and have the potential to create misunderstanding and confusion."Barriers to communication may happen at three levels:
1) At the level of sender
2) At the level of medium
3) At the level of receiver
Any type of barrier is a threat and can cause miscommunication, misconception and confusion. All these work against unity, teamwork & co-ordination. On the other hand, miscommunication may hamper business development.
At the concluded point, we can say that to make effective communication, barriers of communication must be removed or minimized as much as possible. Otherwise, the objective of communication can't be achieved.
