Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Formal groups are intentionally created by the organization to achieve specific goals. They have a defined structure, assigned tasks, and designated roles. Informal groups, on the other hand, arise naturally within the organization and are not officially recognized or sanctioned. Role-structured groups are those in which members have specific roles and responsibilities, but they may be either formal or informal.
