Abstract:
This study aims at ascertaining the perception of the importance and role of effective communication
among Ghanaian employees, as well as a sustained outcome of performance through effective
communication. The research took a cross sectional approach to examine four Ghanaian organizations
made up of two public organizations and two private companies. A combination of research methods: a
quantitative survey and individual in-depth interviews were used to obtain in-depth information for the
study. Findings showed that perceived effectiveness of communication has a direct positive effect on
organizational performance. The paper makes a modest input of the significance of employee
communication in both public and private organizations.
