ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to examine the problems of miscommunication in military organizations and to suggest some ways in educating military personnel for better communication. In doing this, the presence of the barrier and obstacles in the military communication was closely examined and diagnosed in various ways: how the communicative obstacles affect the flow of information in the military and how each dimension of obstacles is associated with various identities of military personnel such as rank, gender, and age. The results reveal three factors in communication problems: first, the barriers of information flow in communication process; second, the conflict due to the complex identities of military members; third, the changes in attitude of the communication participants. Along with these findings, suggestions for some directions of effective communication education in military organization are also discussed. The communication education policy must consider the aspects of military job specifications and priority of middle-grade offices, It should be noted that continuing education is also important to deliver correctness, appropriateness, and effectiveness of communication.
