Abstract:
The purpose of the study was basically to establish the Effect of Effective Communication on employee’s performance in Nigerian Law School (NLU). The specific objectives were to determine the effect of organizational communication on worker's performance, examine how communication influences workers' performance, determine the extent to which communication affects the level of worker's commitment. To achieve the objectives of this research, the instrument of data collection used was the structured questionnaire, distributed to a sample size of 80 out of 100 staffs. The data gathered was thereafter analyzed, presented and interpreted using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis and then presented in tables. From the findings of the study it can be considered that Effective communication plays a key role in supporting the success of the organization. The value of effective communication is in enabling staff to understand the organization’s goals and how- they are involved in delivering them. The recommendations indicated that the development of a more effective communication system at the foundation heavily depends on the efforts of the management. In this, I propose possible ways in which the organization can improve the communication system to a more effective one. The recommendations also indicated that the organization should introduce a feedback mechanism because it is the only way to measure the success of effective communication system. Without a feedback mechanism, employees feel they are being communicated at and it only breeds discontent. If the organization highlights each individual’s capability and contribution, provides opportunities for them to participate in decision making, and encourages them to be more involved in the organizational operations, then the employees tend to commit at higher levels to the organization because they want to or ought to do so. Because of the limitations in time and finance, the study was only focused on the impact of effective communication on the organizational performance in the Nigerian Law School (NLU).
