Formal and informal organization
SQA HND
Discussion 2-Case study
1. Explain the interrelationship between formal & informal organization.
This question requires the discussion interrelationship between formal organization and informal organization. First we want to know about what the formal organization is and what the informal organization is. Formal organization is a fixed set of rules of intra-organization procedures and structures. As such, it is usually set out in writing; with a language of rules that ostensibly leave little discretion for interpretation also the informal organization is the interlocking social structure that governs how people work together in practice. It is the aggregate of, norms, personal and professional connections through which work gets done and relationships are built among people who share a common organizational affiliation or cluster of affiliations.
The formal and informal organizations are inter-related. They are not mutually exclusive. There exist many informal organizations simultaneously with the formal organizations. A single formal organization like the state, the university, the industry, the church, may consist of several informal organizations in the form of gangs, friendship groups’ etc. The line separating formal and informal organization is not always clear. Any formal organization functions best when the informal organization supports it. The most orderly and efficient structure does not automatically produce a successful organizational administration if the members have no goodwill towards one another and have only personal hostilities. On the contrary, the best goodwill in the world will be insufficient for the successful pursuit of an organizational activity if the formal organization is deficient.
The most efficient and satisfactory organization is the one in which formal organization is supported the informal organization. The relationship between the formal and informal organizations is always subtle always complicated and always
