Formal and informal relationships in the organization.

The specifics of formal relations – Ethics

Formal and informal relationships in the organization. Specifics of formal relations

Moral relations in organizations (corporate ethos, if we are talking about corporations) are the relations that arise between employees in the process of joint activities to achieve a common goal, in connection with the performance of their functional duties. In the process of joint activities in organizations, interpersonal relationships are formed. These relationships can be formal or informal. E. Durkheim noted that the more primitive a social organization is, the more closely formal relations are intertwined with informal ones (as is the case, for example, in the workshop organizations of the Middle Ages or in family business). Family members trust each other, treat each other honestly and with respect; personal attitude, affection, love in such groups serve as the main motives in relations with each other. But those relationships that served as the basis of solidarity and trust during the formation of business relations hold back the development of mature organizations. Nepotism (nepotism, “nepotism”) is fraught with favoritism, undeserved privileges of some and unjustified victims on the part of others, it reduces the demands on professional competence and control, leads to a mismatch of social statuses (competence – power – wealth), which in moral terms is assessed as injustice . For this reason, too close, intimate relationships between employees (love, friendship) in organizations, as a rule, are not welcomed, or at least are under suspicion. Relationships that favor cooperation include comradely and friendly relations.

The specification of business relations as a special type of relations between people was carried out in sociology. The founder of German sociology F. Tennis in his work “Community and Society” (“Gemeinschaft und Gesellschaft”, 1887) distinguishes and describes two types of connections between people, which later by the American sociologist C. X. Cooley will be called primary and secondary. The first type of connections are connections that are characterized by naturalness, harmony, mutual understanding and spiritual community, even sincerity, and which arise in the original communities between people connected by ties of kinship and common location (kinship, neighborhood and friendship). “Community of blood” and location, wrote F. Tennis, also form a community of spirit. Then the relations become more complicated, the relations of camaraderie and domination stand out, these relations can be mixed. Relations like Gesellschaft are close to comradely, but they are united not by an emotional connection between people, but by a rational one – an agreement. They, according to Tennis, are characteristic of such aggregates as classes and specific societies. These aggregates mediate corporations. The corporation is a union, all members of the corporation feel like a kind of unity, integrity (Gemeinschaft). In the process of further clarifying the content of the concepts of Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft and the differences between them (X. Plesner, M. Weber, T. Parsons, X. Fryer, N. Elias, etc.), a lot was done to identify the specifics of formal and informal relations and the role of morality in their ordering.

A great contribution to the specification of business relations and the ethics of business relations was made by the French sociologist E. Durkheim. The source of morality, he considered society, and the source of moral obligation in the group – communication in it. In the work “On the division of social labor” (1893), E. Durkheim comes to the conclusion that with the complication of society, the deepening of the division of labor, the differentiation and specialization of functions, morality (common values and norms, a sense of solidarity, a general sense of human dignity) turns out to be the only connection, uniting all people. He considered the state to be too heavy a machine, “which is suitable only for general and simple work. Its always monotonous activity cannot adapt to an infinite variety of private circumstances. It involuntarily crushes and levels everything.” Under the conditions of urbanization and increasing social mobility, the role of family and religious groups has changed; they have largely lost their integrating functions. These functions, E. Durkheim believed, as well as the functions of protecting the individual, both from feelings of loneliness and from excessive harassment by the state, are increasingly being transferred to “buffer” social groups – primarily professional groups (labor collectives arose on a professional basis) . Specialized groups, medieval corporations, included not only workers, but also entrepreneurs. They performed both economic functions (decisions on working conditions, wages, etc.) and social ones: they regulated the rights and obligations of entrepreneurs and workers, professional obligations, distribution relations, and professional associations streamlined the relations of economic competition (it was forbidden, for example, to lure a buyer who considers the goods of another seller). With the disappearance of medieval professional associations, Durkheim notes, these functions hung in the air, there were no institutions that would take them over, a period of unregulated competition, anomie began.

Business relationships are functional, instrumental relationships, participation in which is seen as a way to obtain some benefits. M. Weber describes these relations as goal-oriented, built on the correlation of ends and means, F. Tennis – as gesellschaft’nye . These relationships include business relationships, professional relationships, and organizational relationships. Business exists as a self-serving market activity, but it is realized through a specific substantive activity: in order to make a profit, it is necessary to produce and sell goods and services that people need. In the process of production, people enter into various relationships with each other. Therefore, we can single out: a) proper economic relations; b) relationships in the professional environment; and c) relationships in the labor collective, the purpose of which is the collective itself as an instrument for achieving goals and as an end in itself. T. Parsons draws attention to the specifics of professional activity: it differs both from selfish behavior in the market and from the type of relationships that are inherent in the family. Professional roles are universal, professional activity is characterized by functional specialization, affective neutrality, and team orientation. And relations in a team impose certain obligations on its members and cannot be reduced to pure rational behavior, calculation.

In “The Social System” T. Parsons proposes a classification of the so-called “typical variables” of determining the role: efficiency / affective neutrality; self-oriented / group-oriented; universalism / particularism; achieved result / assigned status; specificity / diffuseness. This classification gave impetus to a more specific differentiation of intimate-personal, primary, and business, secondary, relationships.

Intimate-personal relationships are perceived as valuable in themselves, and the personality of another person as a goal, while business relationships are subject-mediated, instrumental, functional relationships. T. Parsons called intimate-personal relations diffuse, they are characterized by a thematic variety of actions performed, while business relations are distinguished by a high degree of specialization of actions, a narrow thematic range of actions and interactions. Primary relationships require personal acquaintance, the immediacy of interaction of those communicating (face to face), strong identification with partners, emotional coloring of relationships, authenticity, in terms of morality, motivation (relation to the other as a goal). Business relations are characterized by the instrumental nature of motivation, to a greater or lesser extent, to a lesser extent than in intimate personal relationships, pronounced identification with partners, formality, in some cases even anonymity of relationships (in many thousands of modern organizations, many do not know each other personally ). In intimate-personal relationships, spontaneity prevails over regulation; they are informal, as sociologists say, fluid. Demonstrative violations of the norms of etiquette just emphasize the special closeness of the communicating partners. Business relationships are more formal, more detailed, more stringent regulation.

To understand the structure of moral relations in the business sphere, A.P. Skrypnik’s division of moral duties into direct, or immediate, and discretionary (from Latin discretio – separation, difference; discretionary – left to one’s own discretion).

Hiring a job, people assume certain functions, undertake to perform the activities that are specified in the employment agreement or job description and which require their position within the organization. Signing an employment contract means the employee agrees to its terms and promises to fulfill it. These are direct, basic duties, the fulfillment of which is monitored by special services, and, if necessary, sanctions are applied, up to dismissal or bringing to administrative and even criminal liability. Without conscientious performance by members of the organization of their professional duties, it will not be able to remain competitive. But in ordinary cases, no special control over the activities of the employee is most often not required. E. Durkheim drew attention to this: the role of the so-called “pre-contractual principles” of business activity is performed by general norms of morality, since the total personal moral responsibility of each moral subject extends much further than the subject of the labor agreement. The norms of general morality embodied in the individual morality of the worker, not being the subject of the contract themselves, govern its execution, up to the elimination of the need for a special authority that would guarantee compliance with the contracts (as at one time “the word of a Russian merchant” or the so-called “Texas handshake” ). The individual morality of the employee acts as a kind of arbitration court that controls the fulfillment of contractual obligations.

Discretionary duties include actions that are voluntarily, at their own discretion, carried out by the employee (improvement of sanitary and hygienic working conditions, participation in the public life of the organization, etc. ). If employees do not fulfill their direct duties, the activities of the organization will cease. It will not stop from non-fulfillment of discretionary duties, but such actions favorably affect the moral and psychological atmosphere and the state of affairs in the organization. In the event of a conflict between direct and discretionary duties, priority should be given to direct duties.

Personal-direct relations (friendship, friendship, love) developed in primary groups (family, group of peers, neighborhood community), in secondary groups, comradely relations were formed within the framework of cooperation relations. Friendly relations I.S. Cohn describes as follows. These are relationships that develop on the basis of joint activities due to the fact that people belong to the same team. They most often do not choose the labor collective, as well as the family in which people are born: they choose their profession and place of work, and by necessity find themselves in the same group with other people. For companionship, sympathy is desirable, but not required. These relationships involve attention to colleagues, mutual assistance, unconditional honesty and integrity. Friendly, emotionally warm relations do not always exist between colleagues, but comradely relations exclude squabbles, gossip, and intrigue.

Friendships can develop both in the private and business spheres. These are relationships that arise on the basis of personal sympathy, but which are not characterized by the need for constant communication, as, for example, in friendships. Friendly relations are maintained by periodic casual contacts, small mutual favors and can, under certain circumstances, develop into friendship. They are expressed in the benevolent attitude of people towards each other, which excludes indifference, malice, lies.
