  5. Margaret Walking to her Office SCENE 1

  6. Two-Way Communication Effective communication among employees • “Instant Message with Office” • Sender : Woman employee • Encoding: Electronically messaging status • Message & Medium: “It’s Here!” • Channel: IM program <colBooks> • Decoding: Each employee’s work computer • Receiver: Every employee in the department • Feedback: Employee’s rush back to work

  7. One-Way Communication • Communication Apprehension – People immediately get to work because they want to avoid communication with Margaret • Employees try to avoid Margaret as much as possible: • Walk the other way • Freeze up against wall • No eye contact • Pretend to be occupied on the phone Margaret does not have much interactions with employees

  8. Power • Legitimate Power: Power to influence behaviour by being around the employees • Employees appear as if they are working and not being lazy • Employees go from their casual chatting with one another and magazine reading to doing work without hesitation when Margaret is around

  9. Margaret and Andrew’s Conversation in the Office SCENE 2

  10. In Margaret’s Office… • Power: • Margaret looks professional/acts professional: gets down to business right away • Be visible: Margaret toots her own horn to Andrew saying that she got Frank to do Oprah

  11. Communication: • Communication Process: • Margaret and Andrew are both senders and receivers. Messages are encoded and decoded based on rapid exchange of of words and symbols. • this channel contains the most mid-channel richness because there is face to face communication. Despite the fact that eye contact is usually missing, the overall message is understood by Andrew.

  12. -encoding and decoding message- • Such conversations have happened before. The encoding and decoding processes are in sync with each other. Everything is so routine, that there is little room for miscommunication. • This scene is a high capacity information channel.

  13. Conversation in Bob’s Office SCENE 3

  14. In Bob’s Office… • Power: • Appear indispensable: Margaret is able to get Frank to do Oprah. Bob’s inability to do so is what ultimately leads to his firing. • Support your manager: Bob respects his boss’s wishes and doesn’t interject during their fight-he lets her talk, he supports her even though he thinks that she is a “witch”

  15. Communication: • Communication Process: incongruity between message and medium • GOOD- Margaret personally went too office instead of just firing Bob on the phone. • BAD – Margaret brought her assistant to a conversation that should have been between herself and Bob.

  16. non-assertive/aggressive delivery– within the office the message delivery styles are more assertive than aggressive. • Upon hearing “the news”, Bob remains calm and tries reasoning with Margaret

  17. overall nonverbal communication- air of superiority • Margaret leans on a table- rigid, rude, aggressive • Andrew- at request of boss he is quiet, averted, he doesn’t seem to want to be involved in the conversation: non assertive

  18. Argument Outside Bob’s Office SCENE 4

  19. Communication • Assertive  Aggressive • Aggressive Actions • Yelling, insulting, finger pointing, threatening • Response Styles that Foster Defensiveness • Margaret becomes defensive of her decision towards Bob • Noise: There is emotional noise as Bob and Margaret focus on personal attacks

  20. Communication • Andrew does not participate in the argument and tries to have minimal involvement by sitting down on a table • He is blending himself in with the rest of the employees in the department who are listening in on the argument between Bob and Margaret

  21. Legitimate Power • Both Margaret and Bob are trying to exert power and influence against each other • Margaret using her legitimate power while Bob holding his values and beliefs • Idea is whoever holds the strongest position in the end will win • Bob intends to pressure Margaret to change her mind by having the entire department’s employees to be the audience • Bob underestimates the attack from Margaret • Margaret becomes defensive and attacks Bob on a personal level • Margaret out strengthens Bob • Bob is out of the game

  22. Coercive Power • Coercive Power • Threatens to have Bob armed escorted out, film it and post it on youtube • Margaret has the power to punish employees, so everyone is afraid of her and thus, appears to be doing work diligently when she is around

  23. Summation… • Margaret and Bob: • Pros and cons in the way they conducted themselves in the workplace • Andrew: • Transparent in the way he conducted himself

  24. The End?
