Communication, perceived communication barriers, career, career management, organizational communicationAbstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between perceived communication and career management of employees working at various levels in different sectors in Turkey in terms of demographic variables. The research covers 260 employees working in the public and private sectors in Istanbul. Results showed that employees’ perceived communication barriers have a significant negative and weak correlation with career management and also regression analysis indicated the same results. Further, differences were reported for participants’ age and work experience in terms of perceived career management and no significant differences were found for the other demographic variables in terms of employee communication barriers and career management. Based on the findings, it is suggested that to increase the positive perceptions of career management of employees, communication barriers should be eliminated and organizational communication effectiveness should be improved.
