Formal and Informal Groups
Group discussions, Group Brain storming, Employees engagement events, Employees talk together are types of internal communications. When internal communications beguine either inside or outside the organisations, then two types of groups starts to form.
1. Formal Groups.
2. Informal Groups.
Formal Groups:
Generally formal groups starts to form between hierarchically related employees in same departments of the organisation. Like between boss and his/her subordinates, If they have same thought process, skills and abilities to do work and can handle situations etc.
Formal groups takes each tasks as a challenge and each employee in the hierarchy tries to do his level best because in formal groups all employees are tends to be loyal to his/her boss and subordinates. In formal groups all employees wants to achieve good impressions in his superior’s mind so they can get good positions in the organisation in future with good rewards.
Formal groups are good for the organisations because formal groups are helpful in achieving organisational goals. An organisation can develop good reward and recognition technique to cultivate advantages of formal groups.
Informal Groups:
Generally informal groups are created between employees of different departments with random hierarchy. Informal groups are created on the bases of same thinking either positive/negative and friendships. When employees of different departments comes together inside or outside the organisations then informal groups starts to form.
For every initiative of the organisation, there are discussions takes place inside these informal groups. Informal groups drive the thought process towards either positive or negative.
Informal groups also plays an important role in the progress of the organisations. Though informal groups plays either positive or negative role in goals achievement of the organisation, an organisation can manipulate the behaviour of such informal groups by rummers and fake news and with effective situations management an organisation can control the behaviour of such informal groups positively towards the goal achievement of the organisation.
So by effective use of management techniques an organisation can take advantages of formal and informal groups in achievement of ultimate goals of the organisations.
