Due to lack of appropriate communication and interpersonal skills between managers and junior employees, the efficiency and job satisfaction of employees has taken a downward turn.

They feel alienated and uncomfortable to approach their managers which has subsequently affected their efficiency. Contrastingly, managers have portrayed themselves as a nurturing father-like figure. They are satisfied with their job and the organization. With autocratic style of leadership, most of the managers contemplate themselves to be highly approachable. These concerns have ascended as a result of inadequate communication between managers and employees. Managers disaccord with what their employees think of them regardless the fact that most of them agreed to be completely satisfied with their subordinates’ perceptions of them. Moreover, managers were uninformed of what their employees think of them. This might be the result of employees’ tendencies to remain silent to avoid risking their jobs.
Staff Survey
The attitude survey conducted by the human resource department allowed the 60 employees to participate anonymously, thus, being able to provide their most honest feedback without a risk to their jobs. A similar questionnaire was passed on to 10 section managers as well.
• Junior Employees’ Survey

Both employees and customers can become confused or irritated by managers' poor interpersonal skills. Interpersonal skills are important to managers charged with building workplace trust and cooperation from staff members who are collectively accountable for furthering business goals. Imprecise and rash business communication frequently results in wasted time because of the need to revisit
Surveys are a good way to determine organizational effectiveness and most times it gives a clear indicator as to how the system is functioning. A declining survey will be concerning, nevertheless, prior to determining a course of action for a low survey, it is critical to first determine the actual number of employees that completed such surveys in relation to the total population as it may not be fully representative of the true picture of the organizational systems; Low employee completion of surveys can skew the results . Dealing with patient or employee surveys has to start with the employees. When the employees feel valued at work, they now take ownership of their work which often will translate
Although the class has not had input into the methodology used to collect the data for this report it is still important for us to know why these methods were used. Questionnaires can be useful in order to get opinions and views from a large groups of people (McLeod 2014), such like conditions for the research for this reports. This can be useful as this can be an easier way of targeting a larger audience other than in interview purposes. This will also be more time consuming as everyone is answering the same questions.
The Communication Process is defined as the transmission of information, and the exchange of meaning, between at least two people (Buchanan & Huczynski, 2010). Throughout the business world, it can be argued that comprehensible communication is imperative to the successful execution of operations. Organizational effectiveness is extremely significant to any accountancy firm - predominantly due to how interlinked a company’s accounts are – which in turn causes employees and managers to rely on the work of colleagues above and below them. Therefore clear communication is essential to ensuring efficiency and a high quality of work. Through the essay we shall comment on key barriers to communication, ranging from “Differences in Power” to “Cultural and Language differences”, and construct strategic solutions which we believe would positively influence the accountancy firm.
Understanding the communication process in managerial position is very important. It guides the communicator in conveying the right message to the right recipient. The mode of communication determines the content of information channelled, and where the managers feel that the information is urgent; they will opt for the right means of communicating. According to the case study in consideration, effective communication leads to positive outcomes from the employees work. It boosts the loyalty displayed by workers towards their work positions and enhances transparency and freedom of expression.
The researchers used an overall qualitative researcher approach wanting to know if customers discriminated against certain genders in the restaurant. They conducted their researcher by handing out surveys and allowing the customers to fill out the survey via a clipboard with a pen attached, to further keep their responses anonymous, participants were asked to fold and place their completed survey in a box located away from the survey administrators. The authors hope was to obtain more reliable responses, but the cost of doing it this way was they obtained fewer completed and clear surveys. “A total of 485 surveys were collected out of 575 attempts during the 2002 Survey, and a total of 501 surveys were collected out of 630 attempts during the 2003 Survey” (Parrett). However when the cleaning out process took place, a “final set of 495 surveys” (Parrett) were used for the research. Many surveys were cut because customers completed the survey privately and instead of
Survey delivery and administration is important when creating a survey that measures job satisfaction because it is important to get honest and truthful responses. The job satisfaction survey that has been created will be administered by e-mailing a web link to the staff and comments will be entered anonymously into an electronic survey from a survey company such as Survey Monkey. An electronic survey such as this one will make the survey easy to fill out and also provide a way that the organization can leverage technology, making it easy to gather the results. Also by providing an electronic survey, employees can fill out the surveys at the privacy of their own desks. Filling out the surveys at their desk hopefully will make employees more comfortable. Data provided in these surveys will be completely anonymous to ensure that the staff is completely honest so issues can be addressed by management. Once the survey and web link are created through the survey company, emails with a web link will be sent out to the entire staff to fill out a
Management styles are wide and varied across the entire world of work. The specific type of management that works for one particular set of workers does not always work for another group of employees. Almost everyone has come into direct contact with a manager at some point in their careers. It is the relationship between the employee and the manager that must be keenly developed; in order for an office, factory, restaurant, or similar organization to run smoothly and effectively. When an organization is being managed efficiently, workers are much more upbeat, production levels are optimal, and the overall working environment has a fragrance of positivity. In sharp contrast, when an organization is ineffectively managed, more times than

Potential participants will be located by communicating with administrative department managers, Appendix A. A link to the survey will be provided in the email for managers to disseminate among their employees. A consent form will be designed as the first question of the survey. Participants will not be exposed to more than minimal risk. There will be two weeks allotted for participants to respond to
After reviewing the survey, I found it to be very lengthy and redundant. Some of the questions are asking the same thing but the wording is slightly different. Also, the survey is requiring the employees to recall information that occurred several months ago. My improvement suggestion would be to reduce the length of the survey and make sure that it is geared more towards the objective of the survey.
