Abstract

In this study, we try to explore the concept of Interpersonal Communications” in a holistic context. The focus of the research is on “Interpersonal Communications” and its relation with “Positive Working Environment” The research analyzes many aspects of “Interpersonal Communications” and tries to gauge its effect on “Positive Working Environment”. Finally the research describes various factors which are responsible for “Interpersonal Communication” and tries to describe the overall effect of Inter personal Communication” on “Positive Working Environment”.

Interpersonal Communications

Introduction

The field of communication has a long and distinguished intellectual history. It dates back to ancient Greece where great philosophers such as Aristotle and Plato taught rhetoric, or public speaking as a necessary skill for participation in civic life. In the 2000 years since the communication field originated. It has expanded to encompass many kinds of interaction including group discussion, family communication, oral traditions, organizational communication and interpersonal communication.

In recent years, interest in inter personal communication has mushroomed, making it one of the largest and most vibrant areas in the discipline. Student demand for courses in interpersonal communication is rising. Scholars have responded by conducting more research and offering more classes that help students learn to interact efficiently in their everyday interpersonal encounters.

Reflecting the intellectual maturity of the field, communication theory and research offer rich insight into the Impact of interpersonal communication on individual identity and personal, social, and professional relationships. Research in communication contributes to and draws from work in such fields as psychology, business, sociology, Anthropology, and counseling. The interdisciplinary mingling of ideas enriches the overall perspective on human interaction that you will find in Interpersonal Communication.

Interpersonal communication scholars largely would agree that interaction between two people occurs when another person's somehow influences one person's pattern of behavior such that their behavior differs from what we would have expected prior to the point of contact between the pair. Moreover, most usually agree that interpersonal communication requires that the two (or more) communication partners are mutually co-oriented; in other words, both need to be aware of their participation in the interaction. When a verbal exchange of that sort occurs, we can count that as conversation. As to what counts specifically as conversation about science, scholars generally agree there is benefit in casting a wide net and assuming that any conversation that can influence or reinforce beliefs related to contemporary scientific investigation is relevant. Two people discussing genetically modified fruit in the grocery market may or may not explicitly claim to be “talking about science,” but they are likely engaged in a behavior that matters for science communication scholars. (Friedman, 32)

As such, conversation not only constitutes a simple mechanism for scientific information repetition and exposure to science-related knowledge among participants, but also comprises a relatively complex dyadic or group variable vulnerable to an array of factors that relate to human needs and desires and environmental constraints. Conversation is not a simple function of exposure to science education materials nor does it always coincide in ...
