"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."
