Communication
Communication is considered as an integral part of everyone’s life and individuals that are successful in both the short and the long run usually stress a lot in the communication processes. An effective communication process ensures that the message is properly communicated through a proper medium or not and whether positive or negative feedback is received within a timely manner. In business oriented environment communication holds vital importance because it is considered as the backbone of every decision making process and that is the reason why every manager stresses a lot on communication processes.
Managerial communication is considered as one of the important aspects and it is related to systematic planning, monitoring, implementing and organizing between the channels of communication. This process also includes the new communication channels that are directly and indirectly related with the organization (Guffey, 2007). In the similar manner the aspect of managerial communication includes strategies that design internal and external communication channels. Managing the flow of information is considered as an important aspect of communication.
Thus, it can be said that managers usually stress a lot on the communication process and these communication processes are related to the flow of information. The flows of information are vital to an organization because the entire decision making of an organization depends upon this and that is why managers and organizations stress a lot on this (Guffey, 2007).
Motivation
Motivation is considered as an important aspect as far as employees and managers of organization are concerned and managers usually stresses on how they can motivate their employees. Motivation can result in enhanced results and improved performance in both the short and the long run. Managers usually opt for two policies when they are planning to motivate their employees. Managers usually opt of extrinsic and intrinsic motivational policies to actually motivate their employees. A pat on the back, saying ‘well done’ or great job, etc can be treated as intrinsic motivation. In the similar manner providing healthy and recreational activities to the employees are also associated with intrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation motivates an employee to work harder and employees feel satisfied that the organization is satisfied with their performance. Besides, intrinsic motivation another important type of motivation is extrinsic motivation and this type of motivation includes factors like pay increase or certain benefits that are directly associated with money. Strategists and analysts usually suggest that employees are generally more motivated with extrinsic motivation because they can fulfill their desired needs through this motivation.
As far as my personal view is considered I usually stress a lot on extrinsic rewards when I am motivating others and in order to motivate myself I look for intrinsic motivation and this intrinsic motivation drives me to work harder and this strategy benefits in both the short and the long run (Baldoni, 2004).
Thus it can be concluded that motivational techniques help employees of an organization to work for the benefit of themselves and for the benefit of their organization and these motivational rewards and techniques which a company may implement through its human resource policies helps them in both the short and the long run. However, it should be kept in mind that the policies are practically implemented and they must not be treated as a managerial fad.
