What is an Informal Organization? Meaning.
The Informal Organization is a concept in management practice
that denotes the network, unrelated to the firm's formal authority structure,
of social interactions among its employees. It is the aggregate of personal
and social relationships that arise spontaneously as people associate with
one another in the work environment. It is the complex of social interrelationships
in habitually recurring patterns, collaborations or mutual assistance associations,
arising from the combination or cooperation of persons within the framework
of a given activity or organization.
The informal organization can make the
formal organization more
effective by providing support to management, stability to the environment,
and useful communication channels.
