It provides stability to the organization.

✅ Correct Option: 3

Option 1 -> This IS an advantage - formal organizations clearly define roles and responsibilities, eliminating confusion and preventing duplicate work. Option 2 -> This IS an advantage - formal organizations establish clear chain of command, ensuring unity of command and proper reporting relationships. Option 3 -> This is NOT an advantage - formal organizations focus on achieving organizational goals, not personal goals. They may actually limit personal goal pursuit as they prioritize organizational objectives and standardized operations over individual preferences. Option 4 -> This IS an advantage - formal organizations provide structural stability through established rules, procedures, and hierarchies. Hence, Option 3 -> Formal organizations are designed to achieve organizational goals through structured frameworks, not to facilitate personal goal accomplishment.
