<br/><br/> ABSTRACT<br/>Effective Communication is a vital tool for the improvement of employees’ <br/>productivity in any organization, including manufacturing industry. It can help an <br/>organization in several ways as it plays a role in not only employees management and <br/>productivity but also in product development and customer relations which also have <br/>significant connection with employee’s productivity. Employees therefore serve as key <br/>audience because they generally represent the conduit to other audiences. The efficient <br/>involvement and engagement of employees often result in strong communications with <br/>other constituencies as well. Effective communication can also be channeled towards <br/>other aspects in an organization such as resources and policies formulation. This work <br/>will therefore attempt to examine the activities of the various departments with the <br/>impact of effective communication on the productivity, performance and harmony of <br/>the employees and the resultant growth in Kam Industries Limited (KIL), Ilorin, <br/>Nigeria. The data used in this work were obtained through the use of questionnaires <br/>with simple random sampling technique adopted. Out of the 80 questionnaires issued <br/>out to the employees at KIL, 68 returned valid. Collected data were entered into the <br/>Microsoft Excel (2016) software and transferred into the Statistical Package for Social <br/>Science (SPSS) where descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation coefficient were <br/>used for data analysis. The findings from this study have revealed that at Kam <br/>Industries Limited, vertical upward, vertical downward and horizontal communication <br/>types have strong significant correlation with employees’ performance. It therefore <br/>demonstrates that effective communication in a manufacturing industry is a positive <br/>predictor of employees’ productivity.<br/>Keywords:.Effective.Communication,.Manufacturing.Industry,.Nigeria,Organizational Performance, Productivity.<br/>
