Background to the Study
Educational leadership is changing dramatically in the modern day as a result of a variety of variables ranging from social to political, technical, and economic. As a result, educational policymakers and administrators have the task of guaranteeing efficacy in the delivery of quality education toward the achievement of educational goals and objectives. According to Akinsanya (2018)., educational industry, like other sectors, necessitates the allocation of human, material, and financial resources. Akinsanya opined that successful leadership of other resources is dependent on efficient human resource leadership, which necessitates the construction and maintenance of an effective communication system. The thing to emphasise here is the significance of communication in human resource leadership in school organisations, which has not been properly leveraged for successful human resource leadership.
Morgeson, Reidr, and Campion (2015) in their observation established that communication is especially important in schools to establish and disseminate the school's goal, develop a plan for achieving the school's objectives, organise human and other resources in the most effective and efficient way, select, develop, and appraise members, lead, direct, motivate, and create a climate in which people want to contribute, and control performance. Morgeson et’al assert that communication encompasses all behaviours that an individual engages in when attempting to change someone else's viewpoint. Organizations are social entities that convene for the purpose of production, created by individuals with diverse perspectives and knowledge to achieve a shared aim. From a broader perspective, organisations strive not only to provide inter-organizational cooperation and common sense for production, but also to establish relationships with the outside world and adapt to dynamic, competitive, and uncertain conditions by narrowing the information gained from their environment and transferring it to the organisations' information processing centres.
According to Lyness and Heilman (2016), effective and functioning communication systems are required for organisational and administrative tasks both within and outside of the company. Communication is an essential component of organisations in this scenario. Effective communication assists businesses in strengthening their personnel in order to achieve corporate goals. The communication phenomenon connects groups and individuals to an organisation. Thus Descantis & Fulk, (2019) posits that communication is not only more complicated and varied in today's enterprises, but it is also more vital to overall organisational functioning and success. While research used to focus on how organisational communication differed by organisational type and structure, the emphasis has shifted to how new communication technologies and capabilities might assist bring about new and more successful organisational forms and processes.
In contrast, communication style is critical to social engagement. As a result, the study of communication is a vast field of study that encompasses a wide range of disciplines. A person's communication style can be understood in a variety of ways. In an attempt to explain what is meant by communication, several scholars have offered a precise but somewhat restrictive definition. Hartley (2003), for example, describes interpersonal communication as a face-to-face interaction between two persons. However, most of today's communication, particularly organisational communication, is not face-to-face or limited to two individuals.
According to Hartley, interpersonal communication is more than just the transmission of messages between two individuals. Instead, he concentrates on the formation and exchange of meaning. This brings to light a possible issue caused by the structural qualities of e-mail transmission. Section 1.3e considers whether e-mail communication may ever be classified as conversation (in the sense of producing common meaning, as defined by Hartley) or if it is restricted to the exchange of messages. However, it is possible that Hartley's focus on the collaborative construction of meaning, even in face-to-face encounters, is an overly idealised view of a dialogue. It must be acknowledged that the interchange and construction of meaning might be wholly one-sided, especially when the communicators differ in rank and authority. To truly comprehend interpersonal communication, one must first assume a much larger perspective.
Learning to recognise the many communication styles and recognising which one we use most frequently in our everyday encounters with friends, family, and coworkers is critical if we want to build successful, assertive communication skills.
According to Chandrasekar (2011), the office environment has both good and bad effects on teachers' morale, productivity, and job performance. If instructors dislike their working environment, they get demotivated, and their performance suffers as a result. Poorly structured work schedules, inappropriate authority or responsibilities, a lack of recognition, and a lack of personal decision-making opportunities People who work in such an atmosphere are dissatisfied; they experience stress, which has an influence on their job performance.
Teachers' performance is one of a handful of criteria impacting school effectiveness and learning outcomes in all education systems. According to Mohanty (2000), teacher performance is the most important contribution in the subject of education. Teachers are undoubtedly the most important component of every educational institution.
