FORMAL AND INFORMAL ORGANIZATIONS
Keywords:
formal organization, informal organization, social system, management, relationships, social balance, efficiency.Abstract
The article examines the theoretical foundations of formal and informal organizations and their roles within social systems from a scientific perspective. Formal organizations are characterized as social institutions based on legal norms, with clearly defined structures, authority, and management mechanisms. Informal organizations, in contrast, are social groups formed through interpersonal relationships, informal connections, and patterns of social interaction. The study analyzes their interrelations, distinctive features, and the impact of informal organizations on management processes. Additionally, the significance of informal relationships within formal systems and their role in ensuring social balance within organizations are discussed based on scientific evidence.
