Communication Process by Dr. Anshu


The communication process is a systematic series of steps through which information, ideas, thoughts, or feelings are transmitted from one person to another. Communication is considered effective only when the receiver correctly understands the message intended by the sender.
1. Sender
The sender is the person who initiates the communication. The sender has an idea, thought, or information that he or she wants to share. The effectiveness of communication largely depends on the clarity of the sender’s thoughts and purpose.
2. Message
The message is the content that the sender wants to communicate. It may include facts, ideas, opinions, emotions, or instructions. The message can be verbal (spoken or written) or non-verbal (gestures, facial expressions, body language).
3. Encoding
Encoding is the process of converting the sender’s ideas into a form that can be communicated. This involves choosing appropriate words, symbols, language, tone, or gestures. Proper encoding is essential to avoid misunderstanding.
4. Channel (Medium)
The channel is the medium through which the message is transmitted. Common channels include face-to-face conversation, telephone, email, letters, social media, and presentations. The choice of channel affects the speed, clarity, and impact of communication.
5. Receiver
The receiver is the person or group for whom the message is intended. The receiver’s background, knowledge, attitude, and experience influence how the message is received and understood.
6. Decoding
Decoding is the process by which the receiver interprets and understands the message. Successful communication depends on accurate decoding. Differences in language, culture, or perception may lead to misinterpretation.
7. Feedback
Feedback is the response of the receiver to the sender. It shows whether the message has been understood correctly. Feedback can be verbal (questions, replies) or non-verbal (nods, expressions). Feedback completes the communication process.
8. Noise
Noise refers to any barrier or disturbance that interferes with communication. It may be physical (noise, poor network), psychological (stress, emotions), or semantic (use of complex or unclear language).
Conclusion
The communication process is a continuous and dynamic cycle involving sender, message, encoding, channel, receiver, decoding, feedback, and noise. Effective communication requires clarity, proper medium, active listening, and meaningful feedback to ensure that the message is correctly understood.
