Introduction

Communication is very important for business because without proper communication it becomes very difficult to exchange ideas and also communication gives the organization a new way to express the views. Through communication, the organization shows a good sign of high-performance culture. The exchange of ideas and information within an organization is called workplace communication. Effective communication occurs when the message is sent and received accurately. Communication is very important in the workplace because it avoids confusion, provides a purpose, builds good company culture, creates accountability (Communicating Cultures, n.d.).

It is very important to start from the top to improve communication because effective communication distinguishes the leader from the rest of the people and it also helps the team to work effectively. It is also very important for the organization to encourage communication where both the person and talk effectively and share the ideas. The leader should encourage people about their ideas so they can also share their ideas effectively.

Communication Context

Communication Context can be thought of as the environment or the human ecosystem, in which human communication is taking place. Determining the context of the particular instance of communication which involves considering the cultural, historical, social and psychological, social and physical factors.

There are high and low factors in the communication context. High groups refer to those groups where people have close communications over a long period of time. The aspect of cultural behavior is not being made explicit as every member knows what they need to do and what to think due to the years of interaction with the people (Communicating Cultures, n.d.).

Low context refers to the societies where people tend to have many connections but for a shorter duration for some specific reasons. In the societies, cultural beliefs and the behavior need to be spelled out explicitly so the people coming from different culture knows how to behave.

The relation between the managers and the employees could influence expectations because as the job applications except for a high-context of communications whereas the organization doesn’t have a better cultural context so these pose a problem and the problem can be increased. So the communication problem can be solved if both the managers and employees communicate and try to understand their process of communication (Communicating Cultures, n.d.).

Power Distance

Power Distance is defined as the extent to which the less powerful member of institutions and the organization within a country expect and accept that the power is accepted individually. There are some factors which we have to see i.e Individualism, Masculinity, Uncertainty Avoidance, Long Term Orientation, Indulgence.

Individualism address the degree of interdependence a society depends on its members and people look at their society as their family members. Masculinity indicates that society is driven by competition, achievement, and success, with success being defined as the winner in the field which is the value of the organizational life. Uncertainty Avoidance is the extent where the members of the culture are threatened due to an unknown situation. Long term Orientation describes the situation where every society has to maintain links with their past while dealing with the challenges of the present and future. Indulgence is where people try to control their desire and impulses based on the way they have been raised.

The expectations of the manager and the employees could be raised and it would be a great way to see how they would communicate because the communication process would be different and this will help the communication to be engaged in the whole process and the different person having different dimension will make it a diverse way of the communication and in this scenario both the managers and the employees have to communicate in a different situation and the situation would be interesting (Hofstede Insights, 2020).

Rise of Conflict

Due to the difference in culture as well as communication, there might be a problem among the new PBI Personnel and newly hired because the newly hired are coming from the new scenario and they have been staying in a different culture and they would be trying to implement that new culture in the office whereas the PBI Personnel are coming from a different culture and they would be implementing different culture which will cause a conflict and these conflict will affect the organization as not having a proper communication can lead to miscommunication which can change the scope of idea and the work may be gradually compromised which will be a problem for the organization as well as for the workers as they won’t be able to understand the problems (Hofstede Insights, 2020).

Best Practices

The best practice that the manager and executive should follow if any conflict arises is that they should understand each other effectively because understanding each other effectively will really help to reduce the problem and then both the managers and executive should learn about the new culture and diversity and it will really help to understand all the process effectively. The manager should talk with those executives effectively, listening to them and discuss new ideas which will make them confident and they will understand the culture of the office. The executive should also help the managers to know about the cultures and the executive should talk with the manager and help them to know about what problem they are facing so the manager could find a solution to the problem and it will really help to increase the solution of the problem and the communication gap will be solved (Hofstede Insights, 2020).

Conclusion

Communication is very effective and for the organization to be successful effective communication. There are different forms of communication and also power distance which makes communication very different from each other. So it is required to resolve the barrier and make communication very effective because with effective communication every problem gets solved and this solution makes all the problem very appropriate in every section and all these problems of communication should be solved and both the employees and the managers should resolve out these problems in a different approach and it will benefit the organization.
