Abstract:
The workplace is going informal. For certain innovative, high-performance, high-involvement organizations, a climate of informality is viewed as central to their culture; proponents claim that such a climate can boost employee morale, creativity, and even overall performance. That such informality and behavioral "looseness" are considered so mainstream to modern organizations is especially intriguing in light of the fact that this deviates so much from the formality, protocol, and staidness traditionally associated with business contexts. A paper takes a closer look at contemporary constructs of informality, seeking to understand how they may be compatible with traditional preachments regarding propriety and formality in business contexts. Issues addressed include: 1. casual dress codes, 2. informality and formality as broad types of social situations, and 3. informality and organizational innovation. The implications for managers and for organizational design are discussed.
