Question

Which of the following is not a feature of the formal organisation?

• A. It is deliberately designed by the top management.
• B. The standards of behaviour of employees have evolved from group norms.
• C. It places less emphasis on interpersonal relationships among the employees.
• D. It specifies the relationships among various job positions.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

The standards of behaviour of employees have evolved from group norms.

Answer (b) The standards of behaviour of employees have evolved from group norms.

Explanation: The formal organisation is concerned with the good design of positions and jobs with clear-cut relationships and functions as recommended by the top-level management. This kind of association is built by the management to understand the goals of a business and is limited by rules, frameworks, and systems. The standard of employee behaviour that evolves from group norms is not a feature of formal organisation.
