<b>COMMUNICATING MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS: UNDERSTANDING THE STIGMA AND PRIVACY MANAGEMENT OF CELEBRITIES IN GHANA</b>

Lyzbeth Safoah King (19068290) 11 July 2024 (has links)
<p dir="ltr">Like physical health, mental health is equally critical. However, the symptoms of some mental health disorders coupled with how some individuals understand mental health have generated a stigma on mental health disorders. This stigma makes it uncomfortable for people to discuss mental health. Guided by communication privacy management and stigma management communication theories, the study explored how Ghanaian celebrities disclose or not disclose their mental health disorders considering that there is a stigma that is linked to mental health disorders. Twenty individual interviews were conducted with Ghanaian celebrities. Data were analyzed using a phronetic iterative approach (Tracy, 2020). Data revealed a variety of disclosure patterns that I categorized into non-traditional and traditional disclosures. Some emerging CPM patterns include masked and sequential disclosure. Further, Ghanaian celebrities use different strategies like praying to manage the stigma stemming from mental illness. Collectively, these findings extend both communication privacy and stigma management communication theories by revealing new patterns of disclosure as well as strategies for managing the stigma associated with mental illness. More theoretical contributions and practical implications of the findings are discussed in depth.</p>

Effective Management Communication Strategies

Shannon, Dr. Cad W. 01 January 2018 (has links)
Managing employee engagement is critical to the success of an organization, but 85% of managers struggle with engaging employees. The purpose of this single-case study was to explore effective communication strategies within an organization and determine how managers used these strategies to increase employee engagement, productivity, and organizational effectiveness. Data were collected from organizational documents, observations, and semistructured interviews with 6 managers of a corporation located in the midwestern United States. All participants were working full-time for at least 3 years, had a managerial title, and were responsible for departmental communication. Moustakas's modified van Kaam method was used for data analysis. Communication theory provided the conceptual framework for the study. Three themes that emerged from the participants' interviews, observations, and data analysis were coaching employees, motivation, and consistency in communication. The findings of this study may impact positive social change by improving the organizational competitive environment through engagement in the community and society. The implications for positive social change include the potential for managers with direct reports to improve their understanding of the causes of engagement and disengagement, internal communication strategies that cause disengagement, and the benefits of implementing engagement strategies. The results of this study may provide managers with knowledge about employee engagement strategies used to improve productivity and organizational effectiveness within the industry. Community relationships could also improve as a result of effective communication.

Developing Internal Communication in Fast-changing Organizations

Rajala, Inkeri January 2011 (has links)
Developing internal communication in fast-changing organizations is a current topic, which seems to exercise the minds of corporate people in different positions. Well-functioning internal communication and business success seem to be strongly linked. It motivates people, and only people who are motivated and enthusiastic about their work are able to perform well in their jobs and to secure the success of their employers. The purpose of this study was to increase the understanding of internal communications and how employees perceive it in fast-changing organizations. An understanding of internal communication and its development was searched by concentrating in selected essential internal communication areas in organizations, internal corporate communication function and internal communication channels. The focus was on fast-changing organizations due to the fact that the development of internal communication does not usually go hand in hand with other organization development and business growth but tends to drag behind. The theoretical framework was formed of internal communication in general, internal communication development, internal communication in fast-changing organizations, internal communication in different organizational areas, internal corporate communicationas a function and internal communication channels. The most valid internal communication areas were selected to be management communication, team and supervisor communication and interdepartmental communication. The theoretical framework presented the dilemmas and characteristics that can occur among the issue of internal communication development. In order to achieve the determined objectives, a quantitative study was conducted. The survey named “Internal communications at the company x” with three different forms of questions was carried out in the case company. The topic was scrutinized from theperspective of a case company and aimed to find out employees’ perceptions. The web-based survey focused on the selected issues concerning internal communication and its development. Questionnaires were sent out to the employees of the case company’s European organization and 94 responses were received. The collected data was analyzed against the theoretical framework, and with the help of analysis conclusions and managerial implications regarding this study were drawn. It was discovered that by developing these internal communication areas together, fast-changing organizations succeed better in internal communication and consequently in other operations. In fast-changing organizations, careful attention needs to be paid especially to the amount of management, supervisor and interdepartmental communication. Communication especially about company situation and financial and sales situation should be increased. Employees value open, systematic, clear and well-organized communication. Development of interdepartmental communication processes is vital in order to improve knowledge sharing across the company and consequently business performance. It is essential that all members of work community understand their responsibility to communicate. Internal corporate communications function should teach that and provide good communication tools for all employees, especially intranet, e-mail and possibilities to face to face meetings and versatile feedback sessions. Efforts to equalize communication between locations, departments and teams need to be taken.
