receiver

Examples of receiver in the following topics:

• Noise as a Barrier to Communication

  • A receiver.
  • This "decodes" (i.e., reconstructs) the message from the received signals.
  • Physical conditions such as deafness or blindness can impede effective communication and interfere with messages being clearly and accurately received.
  • For example, a receiver who is given unclear, badly worded directions may be unable to figure out how to reach their destination.
  • By acknowledging and adjusting to noise, a communicator can make it more likely that their message will be received as intended.

• The Nature of Effective Communication

  • Barriers to successful communication include message overload (when a person receives too many messages at the same time) and message complexity.
  • Here the communicator must ensure that the receiver receives the intended meaning through careful word choice that avoids the possibility of multiple interpretations.

• Learning to Listen

  • While the sender must focus on making sure the message is clear, the receiver has to show that the message is received and understood.
  • Being able to understand and articulate the meaning behind the words helps receivers better interpret the information and messages they hear.

• Equity Theory

  • Adams, a workplace and behavioral psychologist, asserted that employees seek to maintain equity between what they put into a job and what they receive from it against the perceived inputs and outcomes of others.
  • Partners do not have to receive equal benefits (such as receiving the same amount of love, care, and financial security) or make equal contributions (such as investing the same amount of effort, time, and financial resources), as long as the ratio between these benefits and contributions is similar.
  • Receiving recognition for strong job performance and being thanked can create employee satisfaction, and therefore help the employee feel worthwhile, resulting in better outcomes for both the individual and the organization.

• Assessing and Restoring Equity

  • In practice, all else being equal, this means an employee would find it acceptable for a more senior colleague to receive higher compensation, since the value of the senior employee's experience (and input) is higher.
  • If an employee observes another employee receive more recognition and rewards for contributions—even when both have performed the same amount and quality of work—the employee who receives fewer rewards will experience dissatisfaction.
  • If both employees in this situation receive the same reward, the workforce is more likely to recognize that the organization is fair, observant, and appreciative.

• Financial Rewards for Managers

  • The basic premise is simple: the more sales or profits generated by the individual, the larger the share of the organization's profit that individual will receive in return.
  • In the wake of the global recession of 2008–2010, financial incentive schemes received greater criticism and oversight, partly for this very reason.
  • CEOs, as primary examples of upper managerial salary, receive high salaries in comparison to other gross income indicators.

• Defining Communication

  • Communication requires a sender, a message, and a recipient, although the receiver may not be present or aware of the sender's intent to communicate at the time of communication.
  • The communication process is complete once the receiver has understood the message of the sender.

• Common Causes of Team Conflict

  • For example, two team members with similar skills may both want a certain assignment, leaving the one who doesn't receive it resentful.
  • For example, if two people both rely on the action of a third person to meet identical deadlines, disagreements might arise over whose work should receive that person's attention first.

• Upward Communication

  • Subordinates should make an effort to identify the preferred means of receiving communication from their manager or other higher-ups.
  • For instance, sending a written report to someone who prefers to receive information in the form of a concise email is less likely to bring about the desired effect.

• Types of Social Responsibility: Philanthropy

  • For instance, many large arts organizations receive funding from corporations in completely different industries simply because their executives happen to love music and wish to support a local symphony.
  • In this way, these beneficiaries of philanthropy demonstrate both a responsible use of the funds they have received and evidence of their performance relative to their mission.
