Communication Climate

Communication is the grease which makes relationships in organizations run smoothly, and by extension, directly affects the effectiveness of the organization itself. Communication climate refers to the mood or tone of interpersonal communications and determines in great part how people feel about each other and how they carry out their work activities. Thus, communication climate has a great deal of influence over the organizational climate or general atmosphere of the work environment. Read the following blog about what it is like to work in a defensive climate:

Dukes, A.J. (2012). Defensive v Supportive Climates in the Workplace. Retrieved from http://scom320class.blogspot.com/2012/07/defensive-v-supportive-climates-in.html

As you can see from this blog entry, defensive climates create a situation where employees do not raise work concerns or communicate their needs. They are careful about what they say and guard their opinions. Frequently they exhibit low motivation.

Supportive climates, on the other hand, encourage employee participation and engagement, an open exchange of information, and constructive conflict. Employees who work in supportive environments often exhibit greater organizational commitment, an attitude cited as highly desirable in Module 1.

The Communication Climate Inventory was developed as a means of measuring the degree of supportiveness and defensiveness in an organization. For this SLP, take the inventory and score your organization’s communication climate using the scale below. Take the Communication Climate Inventory.

SLP Assignment

Compose a 3-page paper describing the climate in US Air force. Do not use the actual name of the organization – you can make up a pseudonym. Include the following in your description:

Is the climate supportive or defensive? Does this align with the results of your Communication Climate Inventory? Attach your Inventory results as an appendix. (Note: This appendix requirement will likely increase your paper’s Turnitin similarity score; your professor is aware of this.)

How does the communication climate affect motivation and organizational/team commitment?

How could you improve the communication climate in your organization, department, or team?

What communication skills would you like to learn or improve on in order to create a supportive communication climate?

Be sure to support your analysis with concepts and principles introduced in the background readings on communication as well as conflict and teams (if appropriate). You may also incorporate outside research to supplement the background material. Cite all sources properly.

Communication Climate in U.S. Air Force
For the purposes of this essay, I shall refer to the US Air Force as the “Aerospace”
organization. Through my expansive research on the working conditions in Aerospace, I
conclude that the communication climate is a supportive one. There are a lot of different career
opportunities within the Aerospace organization, including nurses, weather officers, aircraft
maintenance, and special tactics officers. Regardless of what your job is, previous employees
have stated that Aerospace is definitely a good place to work in, since it “allows you to learn new
skills and meet new people who are on the same page as you” (Kahr, 2019). Being an employee
at Aerospace grants you the opportunity to share your thoughts and ideas with your colleagues,
improving qualities such as open-mindedness and respect. Though the job itself might be
difficult, demanding, and include long working days, the benefits are definitely worth it. Out of
the numerous benefits offered to employees at Aerospace, some of them include flexible working
hours, pet-friendly working environments, and health and wellness programs. Therefore, I argue
that the communication climate in Aerospace is a supportive one, since the work environment
