Features of Informal Organisation:

The chief features of informal organisation are:

(c)   It is influenced by the personal attitudes, emotions, whims, likes and dislikes, etc. of the people in the organisation.

(d)   It is based on rules, regulations and procedures.

(e)   The inter-relations amongst the people in an informal organisation cannot be charted (i.e., cannot be shown in an organisation chart).
