What is Interpersonal Communication
 The process by which people exchange information,
feelings, and meaning through verbal and non-verbal
messages.
 Includes message sending and message reception
between two or more individuals.
 Although interpersonal communication can encompass
oral, written, and nonverbal forms of communication, the
term is usually applied to spoken communication that
takes place between two or more individuals on a
personal, face-to-face level.
 Face to face meetings are the most common type of
communications in an organization. Such informal
type of interactions are called Interpersonal
Communication.
 It has the opportunity for immediate feedback
involving oral and non-verbal responses, not delayed.
 Many of the communications are with one other
person. Such interactions are called dyadic
communication

 interviewer)

final grade in a unit does not accurately reflect your performance
against the unit criteria. If this happens and you are unable to resolve
it with the Academic staff member concerned then you can apply for a
formal Review of Grade within 10 working days of your result)
 • Job termination / exit interview

 What are your inferences from whatever you see and feel. Your
self perceptions can be tested through honest feed-back from
an intimate friend.
 You may judge yourself and others from your point of view and
you might be right or wrong.
 When our trusted friends and family , Relatives can give us an
honest feedback about ourselves.
 “Jumping to conclusions too quickly may be dangerous So be
careful in drawing conclusions about others”

But we shall study only:
Three Types Of Dyadic Communication In Business
 Interviewing
 Telephoning
 Dictation
 Interviewing
 An interview is a conversation where questions are asked
and answers are given.
 In common parlance, the word "interview“ refers to a one-
on-one conversation with one person acting in the role of
the interviewer and the other in the role of the interviewee
 A job interview may be the most intense dyadic
communication you will ever encounter
 Some colleges have Career Development offices for guiding
their graduates
 Interview is always with a purpose and needs to be
prepared
Purpose
 Seeking Position
 Informing on Job
 Solving Problem
 Supporting Solution
 Counseling Employee
 Evaluating Employee
 Gathering Information etc
Computer Interview
 Interviews through computer conferencing to reduce
the cost of interview
 Many distant interviews are conducted in this way
 Basic technological aids needed
 High speed net
 A computer at each end
 A small camera
 A microphone
 Some software
 Suggestions for computer interview
 Try out equipment beforehand
 Avoid excessive movement
 Use audio visual check before start
 Dress as interview was live; person to person
 Assume everything you say will be heard
 Avoid high contrast clothing
 Try to relax
Telephoning
 Communications Over Telephone
 A type of interpersonal communication
 Most frequent and extensively used
 We can define telephonic conversation as an exchange of
information between two persons over telephone.
 This is not a face-to-face conversation rather a person-to-person
conversation where nobody sees other but hears each other and
interacts instantly.
 Telephonic conversation is most effective when distance is
longer and time is a great factor. Now-a-days cell phones are
becoming more popular.
How to Make Effective Telephone
Calls
 talking over telephone is an art. Good telephoning
techniques can help you win friends and create
goodwill. Your voice may convey a first impression of
your business or organization.
 There is an old proverb “you do not get a second chance
to make a first impression,” which is fully applicable
in telephone conversation.
 Good telephone calls require proper planning the
message before dialing the number.
 Make the call at an appropriate time. 9.00 a.m to 5.00 p.m
is appropriate time for office or office or business calls and
9.00 a.m to 9.00 p.m is for personal calls.
 Be careful of time difference when making international
calls.
 Make sure about the number and dial it correctly.
 Give the call receiver enough time to answer the call, up to
ten rings.
 Provide details about your identity like name, company,
department, etc.
 Be careful and courteous when delivering the message, and try to be
sure that the receiver understands you.
 Be patient when calling with a problem. You are to explain the reason
several times to make your counterpart understand the difficulty.
 Give complete information to your listener if you want him call you
back.
 If you do not reach the intended person and want your call returned,
leave a complete message including your name, number, organization,
etc.
 Make sense when you are to end the conversation. Do not forget to
offer “Thanks” and “Good-bye” at the end of the call.
 Be considerate (understanding, kind, caring )of other who may share
your phone.
 Identify clearly the person you want to talk to.
 Speak more clearly, as in other country English may be
a second language
 Restate and summarize more often
 Follow up the conversation with a letter or a fax, to
keep things clear.
DICTATING
 Dictation is a special type of dyadic communication in which
two persons either communicate directly or through an
electronic device.
 You want to communicate with another person with a third
party involved.
 You want someone else type a message for you by whatever
you have dictated and he has either recorded or written in
short hand form.
 Short hand is now frequently overtaken by recorders.
 Large hotels also owe this facility for their customers.
 Authoritative Communication to Anyone (usually an
executive and a secretary).
 The executive speaks (dictates) a message to the secretary,
who transcribes (copy out, record) the spoken words into a
Written message that is to be sent to addressees.
 This is more often used for transcription(record, copy, text)
writing sometimes internationally using an electronic
recording device or by telephone.
 Give the precise name and addressee information.
 Spell unusual words or names.
 Speak clearly, slowly and distinctly. Be careful with
plurals. Like man and men.
 The person who can dictate messages clearly and
quickly saves time and money for the employer, and who
indirectly help build company goodwill .
 On the other hand, poor dictating habits result in
confusions, errors, costly damages, loss of company
goodwill, and damages the executive’s status.
SUGGESTIONS FOR BETTER DICTATION
Following are the suggestions for improving dictating habits:
 Preparation before Dictation:
 Preparation before dictation requires the executive to –
i. Know the purpose.
ii. Visualize the reader.
iii. Consider the secretary.
iv. Collect all facts needed for the contents of the message.
v. Prepare an outline, with main points on paper or in mind.
 Good Dictating Techniques:
Good dictating techniques include the following:
i. Dictating in a language that possesses all the C’
qualities.
ii. Dictating from the outline (prepared in advance).
iii. Clear pronouncing.
iv. Clarifying the confusing words and figures e.g. “E” may
be clarified by saying “E for elephant” and “Sixty” by
“six zero”.
v. Spelling the unusual and confusing words and names.
vi. Giving instructions for number of copies, reference,
subject, ordinary or registered mail, etc.
 vii. Dictating punctuations, specially when in doubt
.
 viii. Maintaining acceptable speed. Dictate at an
appropriate rate, not too fast; not too slow
ix. Avoiding environmental disturbance.
x. Dictating only the basic ideas (allowing the secretary
to compose the complete message) when the
message is of routine nature and the secretary
has adequate information and ability.

Editor's Notes

  1. • We will cover oral and one-to-one communication
  2. It is a form of interpersonal communication that refers to the quantitative quality of a communicative relationship between two people. There are also many other types of communication corresponding to quantitative and qualitative definitions. Dyadic communication can be further defined by its qualitative characterizations, namely how interpersonal it is. Because of this, some dyadic communications can be personal or intimate in their nature while other forms of dyadic communication can actually be impersonal. Relationships by function – Interviewing (interviewee and interviewer) – Telephone exchange – Job termination / exit interview – And many others • Relationships by their nature or level of relationship – Family, friend, boss, coworkers, fellow students, spouse, roommate, president, teacher etc There are other terms associated with dyadic communication like "communication competence." This term applies to communication that is effective and appropriate. Communication between two people can have competence based upon the situational context that takes place. Dyadic communication can have competence depending largely on the culture in which it takes place, as well as the nature of the relationship between the two people communicating with one another. Competence can also be learned. On the opposite end of this spectrum, some communication between two people can have no competence, at all. This kind of communication does not help the people involved and disproves the notion that more communication is always better. Communication between two people doesn't have to be aimed at understanding, either. In numerous social contexts, communication between two people oftentimes is aimed around the motives of deception or ambiguity. Oral or verbal communication incorporating small groups i.e. 2-8 participants acting as a sender & Receiver. •some dyadic communications can be personal in their nature while other forms of dyadic communication can actually be impersonal (unfriendly). We desire to communicate more often, and intimately with those with whom we feel comfortable and have trust.
