Method

Overview:

The purpose of this research is to analyze the importance of effective

communication on a team. In order to investigate people’s perspectives

about effective communication, we designed an online survey to collect

responses, which were random, representative and objective. We

collected data in a short time.

Participants:

The research collected data from an online survey. Those responders are

random, which is beneficial for us to illustrate the topic. Some of were

students, co-op students, and others were in full-time employment.

Design:

The survey created six questions related to the research topic, which

asked respondents who have team experiences. Furthermore, their

answers were designed to record for the further analysis. We designed

powerful and interesting questions to attract respondents’ attention. For

example, we designed a question that is different scales to show how

much you agree with the list of statements about effective communication,

in this way, respondents could specifically give their views. In addition,

we designed an open-ended question so that respondents can freely

express their perspectives about it, which is helpful for us to complete the The importance of effective communication on a team

survey. Thus a diversity of responses would emerge.

Data analysis

From our research Effective Communication Skills in a Workplace,

96%of the responders are young adults under 29 years old and 72% of

them are students. The number of female is a little bit higher than the

male, which are 56% and 44% separately. To be specific, our research is

about the attitude toward effective communication in workplace from

young adults perspectives. The first three questions are asking about

people’s self-evaluation within a team.

The first question is that I often effectively communicate with others on

my team. Almost 42% responded that they feel moderate when evaluating

their performance in teamwork. Only 21.05% reported that they greatly

agreed that they could have effect communication with people in the team.

Those data tell us that people are not quite satisfied with their

communication skills. They should adopt some strategies to improve their

communication skills within a team.
