1.1 Background of the Study
In any organization, informal organization is a term whose relevance cannot be over emphasized, it refers to voluntary associations of clique’s development by the employees at all levels of the organization. that is from top management to workers in their day to day activities. But a formal organization according to Middlemist (1990: 9) is a collection of individuals formed into a coordinated system of specialize activities for the purpose of achieving certain goals over some extended period of time even though individual membership may change. It is also a planned pattern of coordinating a legal body for the purpose of achieving a common goal.
Therefore, there are some inter-relations that exist between both the formal and informal organizations.

First, it can be put test and practiced as well. For instance, if a manager catches an information on the air that if by the end of the month, staff are not paid their entitlement, that there will be strike action against management which will result to poor or low productivity.
