Written by : Wayne Ho Shing Fai

Hi, everyone! Is me again xD! I'm here to talk about what I have learned  in chapter 12 - Organizational Communication.

Nowadays, organizations and organizational communication are playing important role among social. Organizations are important to us because it provided majority of jobs, health and pension benefits, work space, continuing education, and so on.

Besides, organizations are becoming larger and more complex. If you are function effectively in an organization, it's crucial that you understand how organization work.

In addition, organizations bring major influence over public policy.

There are few types of organization too: an organized, group of people, who work together and also to achieve compatible goals.

Apart from that, there are some characteristics of organizations: 

• Rules and Regulations
• Every organization must have rules and regulations. Some are written down in company policy in order to reduce uncertainty and ambiguity and, some are unwritten but are still known by workers.
• Division of labor
• Every large organization must have a clear division of labor, every worker are responsible for limited areas within a company.
• System of rewards and consequences
• Organizations rely largely on system of rewards and punishment. If you do your job well, you will be rewarded with bonuses, salary increased, or will be promote to higher level of position in the company. Of course, if you're not doing your job, you will be denied the bonus or promotion, and even be fired.

In fact, we had been called by lecturer to have presentation about this part, so we can understanding more about this. And I am the lucky one to be choose by my group members to present this...! I'm so glad to present this part to my friends and the presentation really helps me a lot for understanding this chapter. :)

So, through this chapter, we learned how to communicate more effectively in the organizational context and it's also advance our own status and personal satisfaction within the organization.
