Supportive climate and the Communication Climate Inventory
The climate is supportive as there is active participation among employees and open communication where the employees also get feedback on performs and what to expect. The exchange of information is essential to facilitate collaboration in an environment with mutual trust. In the corporate culture that encourages open communication, the employees share ideas and concerns and are told they are valued. Supportive workplace environments tend to be open, warm, and supportive, making it easier to exchange information (Dukes, 2012). The defensive score is 84 and indicates supportive, and the supportive score is 26, which represents being supportive. The results align with my Communication Climate Inventory. In supportive environments, there is constructive conflict resolution.
Communication, motivation, and organizational/team commitment
Open communication requires transparency where employees are encouraged to share their views, ideas, and concerns. Employees tend to feel value when there is open communication and concerns addressed, which fosters a sense of belonging. This differs from the case where employees merely comply and offer minimum effort in the workplace when they do not feel valued. The sense of belonging makes it easier for the employees to collaborate, and they tend to be highly motivated and productive. There is a constant flow of ideas in the collaborative communication climate that often leads to innovation. Furthermore, employees are committed to the organization and team when there is open communication and shared decision-making. However, the management and team leaders must communicate clear objectives and create a culture of trust, transparency, and accountability where employees are not afraid to communicate. The employees and professionals are committed when they care deeply about their work, teams, and organizations while also believing in the vision. They also tend to bring their strengths and skill set to achieve the vision.
Improving the communication climate in the organization, department, or team
Trust is essential to promote open communication, and improving the communication climate would require making open communication an essential part of the organizational culture. When it is clear, there is an open communication culture and the manager supports and leads by example, and then employees and professionals will be open to sharing ideas and concerns. In any case, when employees’ views get acknowledged, they are more open to communicating and collaborating. Communication should be two-way, and the management would be encouraged to provide feedback, and this also requires improving accessibility to facilitate communication.
