Answer to Question 1

A formal work group is a group that managers establish to help the organization achieve its goals. An informal work group is a group that emerges naturally in organizations because organizational members perceive membership in the group will help them achieve their goals or meet their needs.

Answer to Question 2

Two basic attributes define a group. Members of a group interact with each other, so what one person does affects everyone else and vice versa. Members of a group believe there is the potential for mutual goal accomplishment - that is, group members perceive that by belonging to the group they will be able to accomplish certain goals or meet certain needs.
