For which purpose circular type of communication is most suitable?

The answer is C (Member satisfaction). In the classic small-group network experiments (Leavitt and others), a circular network, where every member passes messages to two neighbours in a closed loop, produces the highest level of member satisfaction and morale, because everyone feels equally placed and involved.

Why the others are weaker:

• A) Member dissatisfaction: Circular communication is not designed to create dissatisfaction. It works in the opposite direction.
• B) Effective judgment process: Decision quality on complex problems is poor in a circle, since information moves slowly and no one is a central integrator. Centralised networks do better here.
• D) Effective transmission of information: For fast and accurate passing of information, the wheel or chain structure is better, because messages reach the destination in fewer steps.

Core concept: communication networks and their effect on morale versus efficiency. Mains connection: employee engagement and the trade-off between participation and speed in decision-making in government departments and committees.

Trap: students pick D because circular communication sounds like a complete flow of information. The question asks what purpose it serves best, which is morale and satisfaction, not speed or accuracy.
