A Study on the Impacts of Noise Barrier in Construction Site Communication
Abstract
Communication will be the area of this research study. A good communication can enable an organization in better of work quality and performance, and also in decision making. So, the organization will be successful in any project without problems arise due to the poor communication.
This research study will be identifying the factors of verbal communication between site agent and foreign labour in construction site. There will be the factors of language barrier between them, noise barrier from construction site and personality barrier become the barrier for their verbal communication.
Hence, the aim of the research study is to identify the factors affecting the verbal communication between site agent and foreign labour at construction site. Whereas, the objectives will be the following,
- To identify the language barrier between site agent and foreign labour is a factor for verbal communication at construction site
- To identify the noise barrier at construction site is a factor for verbal communication at construction site
- To identify the personality barrier is a factor for verbal communication at construction site
