Difference Between Formal and Informal Communication

Someone said correctly “The very attempt of,


not to speak, speaks a lot.” Communication
plays a crucial role in our life, as
people interchange their ideas, information,
feelings, and opinions by
communicating. Formal
communication passes through
predefined channels of communication all
over the organization. On the
contrary, Informal flows in every direction,
i.e. it moves freely in the organization.

Communication can be verbal – spoken or written, or non-verbal i.e. using sign language, body
movements, facial expressions, gestures, eye contact or even with the tone of voice. In an
organization, there are two channels of communication – formal communication and informal
communication. People often confuse between these two channels, so here we present this
article that explains the difference between formal and informal communication network.

Definition of Formal Communication: communication in which the flow of information is already


defined. The communication follows a hierarchical chain of command established by the
organization. This type of communication is used exclusively in the workplace, and the employees
follow it while performing their duties. Some examples are: Requests, commands, orders, reports
etc.
There are four types of formal communication:
∙ Upward or Bottom-up: The information goes from subordinate to superior authority. ∙
Downward or Top-down: The goes from superior to subordinate.
∙ Horizontal or Lateral: The communication between two employees of different
departments working at the same level.
∙ Crosswise or Diagonal: The communication between the employees of two different
departments working at different levels.

Definition of Informal Communication: Communication does not follow any pre-defined channel
for the transmission of information. This type of communication moves freely in all directions, and
it is very quick and rapid. This type of communication is very natural as people interact with each
other about their professional life, personal life, and other matter. Some examples are: Sharing of
feelings, casual discussion, gossips, etc.
There are four types of informal communication:
∙ Single Strand Chain: The communication in which one person tells something to another,
who again says something to some other person and the process goes on.
∙ Cluster Chain: The communication in which one person tells something to some of its most
trusted people, and then they tells them to their trustworthy friends and the
communication continues.
∙ Probability Chain: The communication happens when a person randomly chooses some
persons to pass on the information which is of little interest but not important. ∙ Gossip
Chain: The communication starts when a person tells something to a group of people, and
then they pass on the information to some more people and in this way the information is
passed on to everyone.

Key Differences

1. Formal communication is also known by the name of official communication. Informal


Communication is also known by the name of grapevine.
2. In formal communication, the information must follow a chain of command. Conversely,
the informal communication moves freely in any direction.
3. In formal communication, full secrecy is maintained, but in the case of informal
communication maintenance of secrecy is a very tough task.
4. Formal communication is written, whereas Informal communication is oral. 5. Formal
communication is time-consuming as opposed to Informal communication, which is rapid
and quick.
6. Formal communication is more reliable than Informal communication.
7. Formal communication is designed by the organization. Informal communication starts
itself due to the urge of ‘human to talk’.
8. In formal communication, the documentary evidence is always available. Informal
communication supporting documents are not available.
