    There are many potential barriers to effective communication in organizations, including physical barriers like noise, distance or defects in media; psychological barriers such as emotions, perceptions or attitudes; personal barriers like confidence levels or message overload; organizational barriers including culture, rules, facilities or status relationships; socio-psychological barriers like inferences, listening skills or emotions; semantic barriers with unclear or technical language; and cross-cultural barriers as meanings can differ across cultures. To minimize these barriers, communicators should use simple, direct language without jargon, engage in constructive feedback, listen actively, and be aware of non-verbal cues and how messages may be filtered within organizational structures.

    Cross-Cultural Barriers
    • Cultures provide people ways of thinking,
    ways of seeing, hearing, and interpreting
    the world. Thus the same words can mean
    different things to people from different
    cultures, even when they talk the "same"
    language.

    11
    Some of the most significance between cultures are:

    • Language
    • Values and norms of behavior
    • Social Relationship
    • Concept of time
    • Concept of space
    • Thinking process
    • Non-verbal Communication
    • Perception
    12
    Ways to minimize the barriers

    • Use direct simple language and avoid words with ambiguous meaning
    • Use to face to face communication
    • Use of feedback
    • Listen with understanding
    • Create constructive environment for the expression of ideas
    • Careful in using Non-verbal Communication
    • Use of organizational structure to minimize filtering
