Keywords:
intercultural communication, communication accommodation, harmonious relationsAbstract
This study was motivated by the dynamics of intercultural communication between Indonesian and Malaysian students at the Faculty of Communication and Media Studies, UiTM Shah Alam, which is influenced by differences in language, norms, and nonverbal expressions. The objective was to analyze the influence of intercultural communication styles on harmonious relationships among students. The research was conducted using quantitative methods with a questionnaire survey of students from three study programs selected proportionally, then analyzed using simple linear regression and ANOVA tests. The results showed that intercultural communication style and communication accommodation had a positive effect on building harmonious relationships, as indicated by increased friendly interaction, mutual respect, and minimal potential for conflict. Other findings indicate that there are no significant differences in perceptions between study programs regarding the importance of intercultural communication. Thus, it can be concluded that intercultural communication competence plays an important role in creating social harmony in a multicultural academic environment, while emphasizing the need for communication adaptation strategies and more inclusive campus policies
