The difference between formal organizations and informal organizations lies in organizational structure and power relations.

A formal organization refers to an organization established according to certain rules and procedures, with a clear organizational structure and power relationship. It usually has a clear division of responsibilities and tasks, and the relationship between members is determined through institutionalized regulations and procedures. The power relationship of formal organizations is authorized and entrusted by superiors to subordinates, and the status and role of members are determined by their positions and powers. Informal organization refers to an organizational form spontaneously formed outside the formal organization, and there is no clear organizational structure and power relationship. The relationship between members of informal organizations is mainly based on personal interests, friendship and trust, and the status and role of members are determined by personal influence and interpersonal relationships. Informal organizations are usually formed in or around formal organizations, which will have a certain impact on the operation of formal organizations.
