Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Status differences, such as differences in rank or hierarchy, can create potential communication barriers as individuals of different status may have different levels of authority, access to information, and communication styles. This can make it difficult for lower-ranked individuals to speak up or share their opinions with higher-ranked individuals, and can also result in miscommunication if there are differences in how messages are communicated or interpreted between individuals of different status. While the other options may also impact communication, they are not as directly related to status differences within an organization.
