"In the 1930s, it became generally known that in addition to studying the highly visible aspects of formal work organizations, much could be learned from developing the less visible informal aspects of human organization (Barnard, 1938; Roethlisberger & Dickson, 1939). Numerous field studies dealing with various aspects of informal organization were carried out over the course of the subsequent decades (Dalton, 1959; Roy, 1960; Gabriel, 1995, 2000; Knights & McCabe, 2003). Informal workplace communications will be the central focus of this paper. Gossip is sometimes defined as being value laden statements about people, rumors as being statements about things, and the grapevine as being all forms of informal communication (Noon & Delbridge, 1993).

"Some managers and consultants view gossip, rumors and the rest of the grapevine as destructive cultural antimatter. Accordingly, measures are often endorsed to lessen if not eliminate these potential dangers. Other people view all of these varied forms of informal communication as natural cultural matter. Both good and bad results may arise. Instead of making a sweeping universal judgment, one could alternatively make limited situational judgments. The potential for productive and destructive informal activity can be thought of as being like the interlocking black and white swirls of the yin and the yang (Morgan, 1986). Under this view, managers should take care not to make matters worse instead of better when they try to exert greater control."

"A scholarly journal is generally one that is published by and for experts. In order to be published in a scholarly journal, an article must first go through the peer review process in which a group of widely acknowledged experts in a field reviews it for content, scholarly soundness and academic value. In most cases, articles in scholarly journals present new, previously unpublished research. Scholarly sources will almost always include:

• Bibliography and footnotes
• Author's name and academic credentials

As a general rule, scholarly journals are not printed on glossy paper, do not contain advertisements for popular consumer items and do not have colorful graphics and illustrations (there are, of course, exceptions).

"Popular magazines range from highly respected publications such as Scientific American and The Atlantic Monthly to general interest newsmagazines like Newsweek and US News & World Report. Articles in these publications tend to be written by staff writers or freelance journalists and are geared towards a general audience. Articles in popular magazines are more likely to be shorter than those in academic journals. While most magazines adhere to editorial standards, articles do not go through a peer review process and rarely contain bibliographic citations.

"A good resource that provides background information to help you evaluate periodicals is:

• Magazines for Libraries (Doe Reference AP1.21.K3 Directories).

"Tip: When searching a journal index such as Expanded Academic ASAP, try narrowing your search by limiting to refereed publications. This will retrieve only scholarly journals matching your search terms. Some other journal indexes offer this or a similar option.

If you do your searches in Web of Science, you will retrieve only scholarly articles since only academic journals are indexed in this database."

"You might not receive national recognition for the problems you solve. But you do use problem-solving skills on a regular basis. Problem solving is wrestling with algebra or chemistry homework. But it's also taking on the day-to-day challenges of being a human being. At school or work, you are confronted by challenging situations. For example, what do you do about a lost wallet, a misunderstanding with a friend or co-worker, or a forgotten assignment? How well and how quickly you deal with these situations matter. Your problem-solving skills can greatly influence your personal and professional success."
