Effective Management Through Language Communication In An Organization
[A STUDY OF DELTA STATE POLYTECHNIC, OGWASHI-UKU]

It has been observed also that in the aforementioned Polytechnic, there exists a great gap between the Principal Officers and the other staff members. For example, in the Registry, where we have the Registrar as the Chief Administrative Officer, the next most Senior Administrative Staff happens to be a Senior Assistant Registrar, (no Principal Assistant Registrar, no Deputy Registrar in between).
The above situations already described, usually result in conflicts and even hinder individual job performance in the Polytechnic. When such situations arise, there are clear indications that communication will be ineffective.
