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 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.
