Employee participation in organizations informal activities
(The case of Estonian Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications)
Organizations develop their culture through variable strategies. One of them is expressed in
informal activities, which are important for better organizational climate and culture.
Informal activities are expensive for organizations to organize and that is why they should be
reasonable and their purpose should be clear. Also, for the good effects, which come from
informal activities, it is important, that workers participate in them.
The purpose of this study is to review, how employees understand the need of informal
activities, what do they think about them and why they participate. The research is based on
Estonian Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications and interviews were held with
Ministry’s employees.
The outcome shows that people understand the need of informal activities, but they don’t
understand clearly the difference between informal and formal activities. From that comes
confusion and mixed feelings so informal activities may lose their purpose. The reasons for
participation are not always in connection with social demographics, more important is the
way people see and translate them. Also, results show many fears of participation, which can
be dealt with and removed.
It is important to understand the need of informal activities, but more attention should be paid
to the reasons they are held. Research is important to examine participation so trough high
involvement organizational outcomes could grow.
