4. Briefly describe the elements of the formal and the informal organization. Give examples of each.
Formal structure is the way that the organization is operated by those with responsibility for managing the organization. They create formal structures to ensure that the standard operating procedures are followed and the duties are streamed down by a hierarchical approach. I work in a formal structure (government job) where we follow the chain of command and use titles as a way of acknowledging the roles. Informal structure is the intertwining social structure that governs how people work together and the elements are important because people’s feelings, thoughts, and attitudes about their work do have an impact in their behavior and performance. McDonald’s has an informal structure most opinions and behavior effect how the rest of the employee’s attitude and work behavior was displayed.
1. How do the formal aspects of your work environment affect you? What informal aspects of your work environment are important?
The formal aspects of my work environments plays an important role it spells out what is expected of me what I am to do and the limits of my job. The informal aspects is how well my peers and I get along, how much respect is given to employees and pay and benefits also play a role.
4. Discuss two ways people learn about organizational behavior.
Individuals learn organizational behavior from mastery of objective knowledge and years of skilled development these two aspects go hand and hand. Objective knowledge is the mastery of conceptual teaching and research findings from basic and applied studies. In contrast, skill development is taught through actually doing the task and repeating the task frequently along with feedback.
