Informal organization is also known as unofficial relationship which is not formed by the management.It is developed within the framework of the organization due to social interaction and interpersonal relationship.Man is a social relationship and wants to maintain social relationship with many social elements.When a large number of people work together in formal organization, they come to interaction with each others and develop personal and social relationship on the basis of their likes and interest.The development of such relation among members is informal organization.Generally, small informal groups are formed in large formal organization.These may be based on caste, ideology, language, religion, emotion, culture or tradition.
According to Chester I Bernard,"Informal organization is joint personal activity without conscious common purpose through contributing to joint result."
