Which of the following is NOT related to the structure of formal organization?

Option 1 -> This describes a key characteristic of formal organization - it defines hierarchical relationships, authority lines, and how different positions interact with each other. Option 2 -> This is a fundamental purpose of formal organization - it establishes rules, procedures, and structure to systematically achieve organizational goals and objectives. Option 3 -> This is incorrect about formal organization. Formal organizations are designed to achieve business/organizational objectives, NOT primarily to fulfill social needs. Social needs are addressed by informal organizations (friendship groups, social networks). Option 4 -> This is an essential feature of formal organization - it provides the framework for coordination, integration, and linkage between different departments and units. Hence, Option 3 -> Formal organization is structured to achieve organizational objectives through defined roles, rules, and hierarchy - not to fulfill social needs. Social needs are met through informal organization which emerges spontaneously based on personal relationships and interactions. The statement incorrectly attributes the purpose of informal organization to formal organization -> correct
