informal communication. Topic: Motivational-need sphere of personality What is the meaning of the concept of informal communication

What are the advantages and disadvantages of informal relationships at work? What is the importance of informal communication for effective management team? And how to find the line that should never be crossed? Oleg Bykov, head of the network operation department of a telecommunications company, tried to answer these questions.

“Laws that are too strict are like strings that are too tight and still playable. Too soft laws resemble completely loosened strings, from which it is no longer possible to extract sound.

Probably, there is not a single leader who does not understand the importance of informal relations in the arsenal of methods for managing a production team. in mass modern techniques and there are no recommendations, probably not a single one, which would be based purely on formal relations in the leadership process.

It may very well be that it is the ratio of formal and informal methods of management in a particular methodology that determines the difference between them.

Obviously, the best option is a combination of formal and informal management methods. Their ratio is determined by common sense and the ability of the leader to act in specific situation. And the implementation of informal management methods is provided by informal relations.

For a better understanding, let's define some basic terminology:

Group- a relatively isolated association of people who are in fairly stable interaction and carry out joint actions for a sufficiently long period of time.

Supervisor- the official status (position) of a person who is obliged to influence others (subordinates) so that they perform the assigned work in the best possible way.

Leader- a person in a group (organization) who enjoys great, recognized authority, has influence, which manifests itself as control actions; a member of the group, for whom she recognizes the right to make decisions in situations that are significant for her, that is, the most authoritative person who plays a central role in organizing joint activities and regulating relationships in the group.

formal leadership- the process of influencing people from the positions of their position.

informal leadership- the process of influencing people with the help of their abilities, skills and other personal resources.

Informal communication is such a connection with a person that involves mutual acceptance personal qualities, understanding, agreement and psychological intimacy

Communication- the process of establishing and developing contacts between people, generated by joint activities, including the exchange of information and attempts to influence each other. Communication is the process of realizing certain relationships.

Formal communication- communication, in which both the content and means of communication are regulated, and instead of knowing the personality of the interlocutor, knowledge of his social role is dispensed with.

Informal communication- your kind of connection with another person, built on the mutual acceptance of personal qualities and virtues, which implies a certain level of understanding, agreement, psychological closeness.

This article is an attempt to consider the importance of informal communication in the arsenal of effective management tools for a leader.

Each leader during his work accumulates a certain set of tested effective methods and management practices. Attempts to formally manage an individual or a group of people quite often encounter resistance. Informal management will either avoid such a situation (in most cases), or at least soften the management impact so that it does not arouse objections.

As the psychologist N. Tertychnaya points out in the article “Features of informal communication at work”, informal relationships arise and exist on the basis of two levels of psychological intimacy: primary and rational.

Primary level arises already at the first contact (a long acquaintance is not required, it seems as if you have known each other for a hundred years). It is characterized by a high spontaneity of emotional perception, unconsciousness and little volitional regulation. This level of intimacy is characterized by lightness, a high degree of trust and understanding, the correct prediction of a partner in a situation and, finally, acceptance of him with all his strengths and weaknesses.

Rational level based on an understanding of the similarity of attitudes, values, norms, life experience. It arises at a certain stage of relations with a person, is realized and regulated by us.

It is believed that relationships based on common values and interests (rational level) are more stable at work than relationships based on likes and dislikes.

It is impossible to unambiguously evaluate all the pros and cons of informal communication at work. The line between formal and informal is almost always blurred.

I think you will not deny the presence in your company, as in any formal group, of informal relations, which largely determine the microclimate and internal atmosphere in the team.

It is impossible to unambiguously evaluate all the pros and cons of informal communication at work. Almost always, the line between formal and informal is blurred. On the one hand, no formal procedures can force out informal relations and eliminate personal interests from interaction in a production team. On the other hand, in informal communication there will always be moments that negatively affect your work and the work of your colleagues.

In the above article, N. Tertychnaya gives A short list of such contradictions:

1. Public opinion. Friendship with a colleague often causes jealous feelings in others, especially if your connection is not approved. Your friend's blunders may be exaggerated, and you may be accused of hiding and doing nothing.

2. Friendship with the leader. Such relationships inevitably arouse suspicion, rumors, speculation, and even envy on the part of colleagues. All your actions are examined under a microscope, and they are judged much more strictly than the actions of those who are not marked by the special favor of the leader.

3. Friendly manipulation. It’s unpleasant, but true: “old friendship” often becomes an excuse for a colleague who works carelessly or allows himself to be late, get sick a lot, delay the completion of tasks and at the same time ask: “Come into my position, cover, you know what I have now situation…"

Optimal for a leader is a combination of the qualities of a formal and informal leader. But it is difficult to combine these social roles in one person.

4. Emotional codependency. Informal communication requires constant emotional feedback from partners. And this, unfortunately, is a difficult task. Remember what anxiety a sudden cold tone of a person located towards you can cause. Like this tone, detachment makes you look for the reason for changing relationships, reconsider your actions and behavior in the recent past, and look for ways to get closer. Such a mismatch often introduces emotional instability into contacts and interferes with work.

5. Issues of ethics. Access to confidential information may have for you negative consequences. Having learned about the organizational crisis, misunderstandings with tax office, lingering financial problems, you will have to make a difficult choice - to stay or think about your own well-being and look for another place. In addition, in such a situation, you will have to hide the unpleasant truth from colleagues.

This does not mean at all that it is impossible to work with friends or that it is necessary to clearly draw a line: “We work with you until six, and after six we are friends.” In some cases, formalization of relations is simply necessary.- let not in the form job description, but in the form of a fixed range of duties and powers. In addition to white and black, there are also intermediate options, so you will have to be creative in choosing control methods.

At the same time, one must always remember that people unite in groups not only to perform certain work, to obtain a result and remuneration for it. Group is an environment of self-affirmation and self-knowledge, an objective human need for communication.

Formal groups created to implement production activities in accordance with the chosen strategy at the behest of the leaders of the organization. They have a formally appointed leader, formal structure, position within the group, their tasks and functions are described and formally fixed in the relevant documents. For a manager, informal communication in a group is an additional informal channel for receiving important information regarding both the situation at the enterprise and outside it.

How to find and not cross the line of friendships at work - depends on the wisdom, tact and character of fellow friends

The manager cannot but be interested in the state of interaction in the group, because the effectiveness of management depends on it. Since informal relationships often play a greater role than formal ones, the manager must know the laws of group dynamics and how to influence the development of informal interactions. This influence must be targeted.

Effective group- this is a group in which interactions are characterized by cohesion, mutual respect, mutual understanding. This is a group rallied around a leader. And leadership differs in the strength of influence on the members of the group (organization). People obey one leader implicitly, while the advice or instructions of another follow only as long as they do not conflict with their own interests and attitudes.

Optimal for a leader is a combination of the qualities of a formal and informal leader. However, the combination in one person of these social roles, especially the roles of manager and emotional leader, are difficult to achieve. For maximum efficiency personnel management, it is necessary that the head at the same time be at least a formal leader.

In general, full-fledged leadership allows you to manage people without their resistance and discontent, formal control, fear and punishment.

According to many scientists, leaders are born, but they are made even more so through training, perseverance. individual work illuminated by knowledge practical experience and the skills they acquire. Based on all this, in principle, almost every competent leader can become a business leader, and in many ways an emotional (although this is far from always required) leader.

The practice of informal relations by the manager will ensure the involvement of employees in the regulation of formal relations within the apparatus, the settlement of almost inevitable frictions and conflicts, assistance in establishing informal contacts that will not turn employees into a closed corporation, but will contribute to the growth of management efficiency.

Introduction

The problem of communication is one of the most important spheres of life. All psychologists are unanimous in recognizing the importance of communication in the formation of personality in adolescence. This period is very essential for the formation of the main structural components of the personality. The formation of a climate in the team depends on how communication develops. Therefore, the study of communication problems becomes very relevant. Its relevance is increasing rapidly this stage development of society, when there is a sharp change in social relations, the nature of personal interactions, moral norms, values, etc.

The subject of my research is the features of communication in a team.

An analysis of the work on the problem of communication shows that it is studied by many authors, both foreign and Soviet.

So, for example, A.N. Leontiev (1974) believes that communication is a certain aspect of activity, because it is present in any activity as its element.

V.M. Sokovkin (1974) analyzes human communication as communication, as activity, as attitude, as mutual understanding and as mutual influence. B.G. Ananiev (1969) emphasized that a special and main characteristic communication, as an activity, is that through it a person builds his relationships with other people.

L.I. Bozhovich (1968) notes that if at primary school age the basis for uniting children is most often joint activities, then in a more adult age, on the contrary, the attractiveness of classes and interests are mainly determined by the possibility of wide communication with colleagues. For a person to be in a “team”, it is important not only to be with colleagues, but most importantly, to occupy a position that satisfies them among them.

As the studies of I.O. Kona, it is the inability, the inability to achieve such a position, that most often causes indiscipline and. This is accompanied by increased conflict of workers in relation to their groups, of which they are members.

Thus, the analysis of works on the problem of communication shows that, despite some differences in the approaches of the authors to the problem of communication, there is much in common in the studies, and the main thing is the recognition of the role of communication in the formation of personality.

The experimental study was conducted for 2 months on several groups of subjects: male and female.

The novelty of this work lies in the fact that the this study, allowed us to study the features of communication in a team on the basis of a local sample using the example of the OVICO company in the city of Chisinau.

Psychological definitions of the concept of communication as a category in psychology

Communication is studied by various sciences: sociology, philosophy, medicine, pedagogy. We will consider communication from the point of view of psychology.

Communication is:

1) a complex, multifaceted process of establishing and developing contacts between people, generated by the need for joint activities and including the exchange of information, the development of a unified interaction strategy, the perception and understanding of another person;

2) the interaction of subjects carried out by familiar means, caused by the needs of joint activities and aimed at a significant change in the state, behavior and personal-semantic formations of the partner.

In view of the complexity and capacity of the phenomenon of communication, its interpretation as a concept depends on the initial theoretical and criterial foundations. In its most general form, communication acts as a form of life activity. social meaning communication lies in the fact that it acts as a means of transferring forms of culture and social experience. The specificity of communication is determined by the fact that in its process the subjective world of one person is revealed to another.

The process of communication (communication) can be defined as a technology of continuous interaction of a person with the world around him, as a sequence and features of his behavior, actions and states when transmitting information. In the communicative process, the communicator usually seeks to achieve his goal by influencing certain areas of a person. The goal is the result for which the communicator enters into communication with the recipient. The subject of communication is that part of the inner world - or the outer world of the recipient, on which the communicator influences.

Consider the definitions of the concepts of "communication" and "communication". In the dictionary of S.I. Ozhegova, N.I. Swedish communication is interpreted as communication, communication. In the philosophical dictionary edited by I. T. Frolov, the following interpretations of this concept are given:

1) “Communication from (lat. comunicare- to confer) is a category denoting communication, with the help of which the “I” finds itself in another”,

2) "Communication" in a broad sense - communication.

G.M. Andreeva considers communication from several perspectives: integrative, perceptual. She defines communication in the narrow sense of the word as follows: “communication consists in the exchange of information between communicating individuals, that is, in the exchange of not only knowledge, ideas, but also actions. The perceptual side of communication means the process of perception and knowledge of each other by partners in communication and the establishment of mutual understanding on this basis.

Yu.S. Krizhanskaya, V.P. Tretyakov note that communication is “first of all, influence, impact on a partner, this is communication, an exchange of opinions, experiences, considerations, moods, desires, etc.” The same authors emphasize that the content of a particular communication in communication is always significant for its participants, since the exchange of messages does not happen “just like that”, but for the sake of achieving some goals, satisfying some needs.

A.P. Panfilova identifies the five most significant components of the communication process:

§ Who is speaking? - (communicator).

§ What does it say? -- (information).

§ To whom? -- (communicant, recipient).

§ On what channel? - (by what means).

§ With what effect (feedback result).

The implementation of the relationship of all significant components will be the content of communicative activity. Most often, in the process of communicative influence on a person as a recipient, the communicator sets the following tasks:

§ convince him of something;

§ understand his intentions;

§ make him do something;

§ inspire him with something;

§ to inform him about something;

§ receive from him necessary information;

§ deny him something;

§ hide something from him;

§ change his emotional state, attitude or behavior;

§ stop communicating with him.

In turn, a person as a recipient can pursue, in addition to the goals listed above, his own, somewhat different goals:

§ listen to the communicator and accept his message or not listen to him at all;

§ willing or unwilling to accept the communicator;

§ agree or disagree with him;

§ to use or not to use the information received from the communicator.

Based on the above, V.M. Snetkov proposes to distinguish between the declared and closed position of the communicator. Open (declared position) - these are statements aloud and clearly demonstrated in the behavior of the target of the communicator. The case when the communicator consciously or unconsciously seeks to hide his position is defined as a closed position.

A communicative act is an indivisible action, gesture, replica that has a certain meaning or meaning in the eyes of the recipient.

Actual interaction is a set of communicative acts used as a method of solving problems facing people. The structure of the communicative act includes the following phases:

1) preparatory;

2) establishing contact;

3) mutual orientation;

4) argumentation and decision making;

5) completion.

Any behavior of a person becomes communicative in the presence of an explicit or imagined recipient who is able to perceive and give meaning or meaning to every aspect, every reaction from a verbal or non-verbal behavior person.

The main elements of a communicative act are: communicator, recipient, communicative impact (behavior), Environment and feedback. All of the above factors influence the effectiveness of communication.

In the literature there are different kinds communications: pedagogical, business, mass, etc. (N.V. Kuzmina, G.G. Pocheptsov, A.P. Panfilova). In communication, a person self-determines and self-presents, revealing his individual characteristics. According to the form of the impacts carried out, one can judge the communicative skills and character traits of a person, according to the specifics of the organization of speech communication, general culture and literacy.

Communication permeates the entire life of a person. The forms of communication are extremely diverse. Communication, expressed in direct interindividual connections of people, always corresponds to certain historically established and socially necessary forms of communication and is implemented in accordance with the norms of socially acceptable behavior (Leontiev A.A., (1974))

Consider the classification of types of communication.

The concepts of the structure and functions of communication are most directly related to various classifications of types and types of communication.

As the analysis of these classifications shows, they are carried out for a variety of reasons (by place, by time, by areas of activity, by types of subjects, etc., etc.). There are also such criteria for classifying the types of communication as their nature, goals, forms of expression, direction.

Consider some of the existing classifications. Communication is generated by social, public and other human needs, manifested in the desire to perform joint activities. Communication is also generated by motives that are formed in the course of the process of joint activity.

The phenomena of communication are extremely diverse, unique in many of their parameters, and often do not fit the usual stereotypes at all. The number of attempts to create a unified and universal classification of types of communication is growing. Unfortunately, they, as a rule, absolutize any one, albeit a real quality, property, side or function of communication, while others, as it were, are not taken into account, remaining unfairly unnoticed. Therefore, most of the existing typologies of communication do not at all contribute to the analysis of communication itself, because their authors themselves, probably not wanting to, hang such labels that are useful in a number of situations, but essentially do not give anything for a holistic understanding of the content and essence of communication.

So, by nature - communication is divided into productive (creative) and unproductive (formal), by goals - into utilitarian and non-utilitarian, by orientation - into humanistic and manipulative, by forms of manifestation - into direct and indirect, formal and informal, according to the degree of sincerity - for open and closed, by areas of activity - business, family sports.

When determining the types of communication, care must be taken and the factors under which this communication takes place must be taken into account. So, for example, formal communication can be confused with manipulative. Formal communication is when a person, within the framework of business or diplomatic relations, communicates with a partner formally, on an official level, but when a person consciously ignores moral norms (for example, misinforms, abuses trust, blackmails, etc.), when a person is turned into a puppet - these are already manipulations, i.e. manipulative communication. It is also worth noting that the act of communication can be different types, depending on the type of classification by which it is characterized.

Consider another classification - by category. By category, communication can be divided into interpersonal, personal-group and intergroup. Communication can also be classified according to the degree of mediation. Communication can be direct and indirect.

Direct - this is when communication occurs without any intermediate links, i.e. mediated communication is when intermediaries appear between the interlocutors.

These types of communication have their advantages and disadvantages. So, in a face-to-face conversation, there are more channels of feedback. This means that each of the communicating parties is able to see and analyze how the opposite party perceives information. But mediated communication greatly simplifies the life of people who are timid and indecisive.

Scheme 1: Classification of communication.

H. According to the degree of mediation:

v Direct

v Indirect

v Pantomime

4. By purpose:

v Spiritual interpersonal fellowship of friends

v business communication

v Secular fellowship

v Primitive communication (according to the principle of "needed - not needed")

v Manipulative communication (one of the communicaters tries to take advantage of

interlocutor, to force him to serve his goals).

v Formally - role-playing (when instead of knowing the personality of the interlocutor, they manage with the knowledge of his

5.By duration:

v short-term

v long

So, as we see from Scheme 1, the following types of communication are distinguished:

1. "Mask contact" - formal communication, when there is no desire to understand the interlocutor, using the usual masks (politeness, severity, indifference, modesty, etc.) - a set of facial expressions, gestures, standard phrases that allow you to hide true emotions, attitude towards interlocutor. Sometimes such contact is justified in order not to “hurt” each other unnecessarily, in order to “isolate themselves” from the interlocutor.

2. Primitive communication, when they evaluate another person as a necessary or interfering object: if necessary, they actively make contact, if it interferes, they will push away or aggressive rude remarks will follow. If they get what they want from the interlocutor, then they lose further interest in him and do not hide it.

3. Formal-role communication, when both the content and means of communication are regulated, and instead of knowing the personality of the interlocutor, knowledge of his social role is dispensed with.

4. Business communication - when the characteristics of the personality, character, age, mood of the interlocutor are taken into account, but uninteresting cases are more significant than possible personal differences.

5. Spiritual, interpersonal communication of friends, when you can touch on any topic and it is not necessary to resort to help, words, a friend will understand you by facial expression, intonation, movements.

6. Manipulative communication is aimed at extracting benefits from the interlocutor, using different techniques (flattery, intimidation, demonstration of kindness, etc.), depending on the characteristics of the interlocutor's personality.

7. Secular communication. Its essence is non-objectivity, i.e. people say not what they think, but what is supposed to be said in such cases; this communication is closed, because people's points of view on a particular issue do not matter and do not determine the nature of communications.

The means of communication include:

1. Language is a system of words, expressions and rules for their combination into meaningful statements used for communication.

2. Intonation, emotional expressiveness, which is capable of giving different meanings to the same phrase.

3. Facial expressions, posture, gaze of the interlocutor can enhance, complement or refute the meaning of the phrase.

4. Gestures as a means of communication can be both generally accepted, i.e. have meanings assigned to them; or expressive, i.e. serve for greater expressiveness of speech.

5. The distance at which the interlocutors communicate depends on cultural, national traditions, and the degree of trust.

The communication process includes the following steps:

1. The need for communication (it is necessary to communicate or find out information, influence the interlocutor, etc.) encourages a person to make contact with other people.

2. Orientation for the purposes of communication, in a situation of communication.

3. Orientation in the personality of the interlocutor.

4. Planning the content of his communication, a person imagines (usually unconsciously) what exactly he will say.

5. Unconsciously (sometimes consciously) a person chooses specific means, speech phrases that he will use, decides how to speak, how to behave.

6. Perception and assessment of the interlocutor's response, monitoring the effectiveness of communication based on the establishment of feedback.

7. Correction of direction, style, methods of communication.

If any of the links in the act of communication is broken, then the speaker fails to achieve the expected results of communication - it will be ineffective. These skills are called "social intelligence", "practical-psychological mind", "communicative competence", "sociability".

Next, we give an illustration of the functions of communication (according to Karpenko): information, coordination, functions of understanding, and establishing relationships. One of the existing classifications of communication functions is the classification of L.L. Karpenko, according to which eight functions are distinguished according to the criterion "purpose of communication":

1. contact, the purpose of which is to establish contact as a state

mutual readiness to receive and transmit messages and maintain relationships in the form of constant mutual orientation;

2. informational, the purpose of which is the exchange of messages, that is, the reception and transmission of any information in response to a request, as well as the exchange of opinions, ideas, decisions, etc.;

3. incentive, the purpose of which is to stimulate the activity of a communication partner to perform certain actions;

4. coordination, the purpose of which is mutual orientation and coordination of actions in the organization of joint activities;

5. understanding, the purpose of which is not only an adequate perception and understanding of the meaning of the message, but also an understanding of each other by partners (their intentions, attitudes, experiences, states, etc.);

6. emotive, the purpose of which is to excite the necessary emotional experiences in the partner (“exchange of emotions”), as well as to change their own experiences and states with its help;

7. establishment of relations, the purpose of which is to realize and fix one's place in the system of role, status, business, interpersonal and other relations of the community in which the individual has to act;

8. exerting influence, the purpose of which is to change the state, behavior, personal and semantic formations of the partner, including his intentions, attitudes, opinions, decisions, needs, actions, activity, etc.

Psychological features of communication in a team.

In communication in a team, two opposite trends are noted: the expansion of its scope, on the one hand, and the growing individualization, on the other. The first is manifested in an increase in the time spent on him, in a significant expansion of his social space (among his closest, work colleagues, subordinates), in the expansion of the geography of communication, and, finally, in a special phenomenon called "expectation of communication" and acting in the very searching for him, in constant readiness for contacts.

As for the second trend - the individualization of relationships - it is evidenced by a strict delimitation of the nature of relationships with others, high selectivity in friendly affections, and sometimes the highest demands on communication in a dyad.

It can be thought that these two existing orientations “serve” the different needs of the employee in the “search” for communication, the need to experience new experience, to test oneself in new role, and in selectivity, the need for self-identification and mutual understanding. Both needs are urgent, and the way they are satisfied or not satisfied causes deep feelings among workers (Dobrovich A.B., (1987)).

It is important for employees not only to be in a team, but most importantly, to occupy a position that satisfies them among their colleagues. For some, this desire can be expressed in the desire to take a leadership position in the group, for others to be recognized, beloved comrade, for others - an indisputable authority in some business. As studies by I.S. Kona (1989) it is the inability, the inability to achieve such a position, that most often causes indiscipline.

There are data (Kon I.S., (1989)), according to which informal communication not only in dyads, but also in groups is subject to such motives as the search for the most favorable psychological conditions for communication, the expectation of sympathy and empathy, the thirst for sincerity and unity in views, the need to assert themselves.

As literary analysis shows (Tolstykh N.N., (1990), I.V. Dubronin, (1989), etc.), relations with colleagues are a relationship of fundamental equality. They allow employees to be equal participants in all sorts of cases.

Any person is very sensitive to his position in relations with people, he becomes dissatisfied with the fact that in his communication with his superiors he turns out to be a subordinate and unequal being. That is why the importance of communication with colleagues increases for him, in which there is no communication, and there cannot be a deliberate inequality. The objective position of the worker in the team is in harmony with his demand, with his need to be equal.

Relations in the team are more complex, diverse and meaningful. These relationships differ markedly in the degree of closeness: an employee can simply have comrades, colleagues, friends.

The employee considers communication in a team to be his own, personal relationship: here he has the right and can act independently. Therefore, any intervention by any parties, especially not tactful, causes resentment, protest, resistance. And the more unfavorable relations with superiors, the more colleagues occupy a place in his life, the stronger the influence of the team (I.S. Kon, V.A. Losenkov (1974)).

DI. Feldstein identifies three forms of communication:

§ Intimate-personal,

§ spontaneous group,

§ Socially oriented

Intimate-personal communication - interaction based on personal sympathies - "I" and "you". The content of such communication is the complicity of the interlocutors in each other's problems. Intimate-personal communication arises under the condition of common values of partners, and complicity is ensured by understanding the thoughts, feelings and intentions of each other, empathy. The highest forms of intimate-personal communication are friendship and love.

Spontaneous group communication - interaction based on random contacts - "I" and "they". The spontaneous-group nature of communication dominates if the socially useful activity of the team is not organized. This type of communication leads to the emergence of various kinds of companies, informal groups. In the process of spontaneous group communication, aggressiveness, cruelty, increased anxiety, isolation, etc. acquire a stable character.

Socially-oriented communication - interaction based on the joint implementation of socially important matters - "I" and "society". Socially-oriented communication serves the social needs of people and is a factor contributing to the development of forms of social life of groups, collectives, organizations, etc.
