FUNDAMENTAL OF ORG COMMUNICATION: QUESTIONS 2
Question 1
How results from the exercise relate to my work values?
After doing the exercise on page 414, my findings indicated that I do care so much about
Family since it is the one with the highest value. For a fact, Family is the most important thing in
a person’s life that either builds or destroys (Laura, 1993). The second on the list is the social
environment. Friends represent part of our social environment and this has been shown in the
list. Friends as well as family will play an important role in our work life that is why I prioritized
them over creativity, power, aesthetic and money. Though, money is essential but sometimes it
does not have that too much effect as families, friends or creativeness (Laura, 1993). As for me
my work life is influenced by my family and therefore all I do is for my family.
Are you experiencing a sense of congruence?
Congruence is how things are similarly related. When the objectives or goals of a worker
and his manager are related, that means there is congruence between the two parties (Rogers,
2014). For me, if my objectives match that of other colleagues or my bosses in the organization
then that gives me a driving force to work even harder. After working for a certain company for
quite some time, I became tired since the work was oppressing with no time to take a break
(Rogers, 2014). I was working so many hours a week, I needed another job and that is why I had
to quit and find a job that could accommodate my objectives and have a better pay. I now have a
new job that allows me work for fewer hours a week and pays me just enough. The time
allocated for each week by my bosses is what I wanted.
