A survey of an organization's employees asked how many emails they can handle per day. Only six percent said they could process more than 50 emails a day. Most said they cannot keep up, once they hit more than that. More than 50 emails per day resulted in

• mental filtering

• information overload

• system lockdown

• selective perception

Answer explanation

Information overload occurs when the receiver receives an excessive amount of information. The individual frequently feels overwhelmed and fears that they will be unable to retain any knowledge at all. Overload is sometimes caused by the degree of communication rather than the amount. If the message contains information that is unfamiliar to the listener, such as new procedures or concepts, the risks of overload grow dramatically.

A single word can be considered to have multiple meanings.

• Overload

• Language

• Cultural differences

• General body language

Answer explanation

Language barriers arise when persons do not speak the same language or do not have equal proficiency in a language. Yet, hurdles might arise even when persons speak the same language. Sometimes obstacles emerge when we use improper levels of language or jargon or slang that one or more of the people conversing do not understand, Kapur, R. (2018).

Which of the following best reflects the effects of barriers on communication?

• Misrepresent or avert communication within the organization.

• Hinder employee relations but have no bearing on company sales.

• Cause a disruption of group culture or clique.

• Lack of clarity given by manager.

Answer explanation

The sender, the encoding, the message, the medium, the decoding, the receiver, and the feedback are all communication factors. If there is any noise in these elements, perfect clarity of meaning and understanding does not occur.

Filtering, selective perception, emotions, and language are all:

• Essential job functions

• Necessary for effective communication.

• General information

• Potential barriers to effective communication.

Answer explanation

There may be a few hurdles to communication while speaking with others. Good communication occurs when the speaker conveys the intended message to the audience and the listener receives it. Yet, proper communication fails when the message is not understood by the receiver.
