Abstract

Every organisation engages in communication, which is a concept that is quite frequent in dayto-day life. Tasks cannot be completed if there are no efficient means of communication. Barriers and difficulties both that can be avoided and that cannot be avoided do arise during the communication process. To effectively surmount communication obstacles, a person must internalise all the necessary skills and dispositions. Examining the effects of communication obstacles that lecturers and management at Majuba Technical and Vocational Education and Training College encounter is the study's objective, as well as the factors that prevent effective communication and solutions to these issues. The primary aim is to pinpoint various barriers to successful communication at Majuba Technical and Vocational Education and Training College and suggest possible solutions for their communication system. Qualitative research methodology was used for this study. Data was collected through interviews using content analysis to organise collected information and to analyse the recorded data from the interviews with participants from Majuba Technical Vocational Education and Training College. The participants who took part in my study are employees employed by the College, which includes Lecturers and Senior Lecturers, and this research took place at Majuba Technical Vocational Education and Training College, which is based at Majuba and UmziNyathi Districts, which provides different programs. Employees at the College received a list of interview questions that had been created. The participants who took part in this study were 10 lecturers. The goal was accomplished using information gathered through interviews, and the study's conclusions can assist management in becoming aware of the difficulties and formulating plans to address them so that both lecturers and management can function in a favorable atmosphere. This study has covered a wide range of significant topics, including the various types of obstacles to effective communication within an organisation, as well as strategies for overcoming communication barriers and addressing psychological, physical, cultural, and linguistic barriers to effective communication.
