CRITICALLY DISCUSSION MEDIATION AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION IN SOUTH AND SOUTHERN AFRICA
(25)
DISCUSS THE LABOUR RELATIONS LESSONS LEARNT FROM THE AUGUST 2012 MARIKANA MASSACRE
IN SOUTH AFRICA (25)
EXPLAIN THE VARIOUS TECHNIQUES THAT CAN BE EMPLOYED TO IMPROVE COMMUNICATION IN
THE WORK ENVIRONMENT (25) (CHECK IF ANSWER IS CORRECT)
As a starting point, you should have indicated that Anstey (2008) describes communication basically as a two-way process.
In simple terms, communication takes place when one person sends a message to another, for example, a manager to a
subordinate or vice versa, and the latter then interprets this message. If communication between trade union members
and employer representatives is hostile and unfriendly, destructive conflict may arise and the relationship between the
parties may be impaired. Clearly, then, communication always takes place in a particular context. This context may, in
addition to time and place, assume a variety of forms, for instance communication between superiors and their
subordinates in a work context; communication between colleagues attending a work-related event in a social context;
and communication by a security guard directed at a large group of strikers picketing in front of an organisation, in a mass
context. From these examples it should be clear that the context in which communication takes place has considerable
influence on the nature of the communication, the content of the message, the medium through which the
communication takes place and the effect that communication will have. The context in which the communication usually
occurs usually determines the status or power base of the communicating parties which, in turn, affects the spirit (or
climate) and the parties’ willingness to receive and respond to the message.
Anstey (2008) summarises the techniques for improving communication into the following main categories:
establishing a listening environment
improving the communication climate
improving listening skills
improving skills in message transmission
increasing levels of self-awareness
understanding communication networks
general techniques
