“…The findings are in line with Rabbani (2017) who states that when there is a language barrier, the effective two-way communication becomes considerably more challenging. And also, intercultural communication is complicated by two issues, namely language and culture (Xiao & Petraki, 2007).…”

“…In various aspects of a proper functioning organization, effective communication is essential. Communication is the exchange of meaning, and an effective two-way communication becomes even more difficult when there is a language barrier (Adler, 1991;Rabbani et al, 2017). Effective communication can be the result of the effective method's continuous evaluation and the development of a plan for communication practice for the departments of the institution (higher education institution) through cooperation with other members of the organization.…”

The workplace is where a variety of people meet to fulfil the needs of the organisation. The meeting of various people from many backgrounds can often cause communication failure. This hinders productivity and work efficiency. It can also cause detrimental injuries within the workplace by evoking anger, misinterpretations, cynicism, loss of trust and respect resulting in an unhealthy workplace atmosphere. Consequently, all these rippling effects distorts the progress and growth of a workplace which could negatively impact its founded visions and future achievements to ruins. Without us realizing, communication is the most minute yet key course of action that takes place in conveying information, resolving a conflict to achieve an agreement, and having mutual understanding among employees to establish high quality relationships in the workplace. Evidently, a successful organization may crumble due to factors that could have been early detected and avoided in their communication. Therefore, this pilot study aims to investigate factors that can hinder communication at the workplace. A total number of 148 participants responded to a survey which focused on contextual factors in terms of verbal and non-verbal communication, structural factors such as the environment, and behavioural factors such as personal barriers. The findings reveal that contextual, structural, and behavioural factors are potential hindrances to successful communication at the workplace of communicators who are unaware of their actions while interacting. Hence, employers should induce efforts to eliminate communication barriers at the workplace to allow information to be conveyed excellently. Besides that, employers need to provide a good work environment that facilitates effective communication. Employers should also take measures to allow employees to socialize to reduce the personal barriers among them.

“…Pressure on project performance The efficiency of a project will greatly affect the attitudes of workers in the implementation of labor safety (Flin, Mearns, O'Connor, & Bryden, 2000;Rabbani, Farrokhi-Asl, & Manavizadeh, 2017). The value of safety over work pressure should be conveyed by site managers, including engineers and site supervisors.…”

The construction industry has one of the most dangerous working environments among various professions. Workers in construction investment projects account for a large component of the costs, and there are many risks to labor safety. Therefore, ensuring that workers are not injured and aiming for zero labor accidents is a significant imperative and challenge for project managers and construction workers. Ensuring safety during construction work contributes to the success of a project. This paper presents a study of worker attitudes toward labor safety. The research was conducted by using an expert interview approach and questionnaire survey in order to find out which factors influence construction worker attitudes about labor safety conditions. Factor analysis found five factors that affect the attitudes of workers toward labor safety: (1) organizational policy; (2) communication; (3) risk acceptance; (4) psychology; and (5) equipment monitoring and management.
