1.1 Background to the Study
The contingency theory claims there is no best way to organize a corporation, to lead a company, or to make decisions. Organizational communication, or decision making style that is effective in some situations, may not be successful in other situations.

The Hawthorne study suggested the one factor surrounding employee performance is the social and psychological needs of employee must be understood in order to be motivated to complete their assigned tasks. Unless the organization comprehends and fully supports the premise that organizations must have high degrees of communications to meet employee psychological needs the organization will remain stagnant. Leaders and managers must realize the need to effectively convey and receive information, effective communications through the transformational leader is the foundation for meeting and developing the psychological and economic needs of employees within an organization.
Organizations must develop a communication style that resonates with its employees.
