Abstract
An informal network satisfies the basic need for affiliation. There are many more reasons for the formation of an informal network. Similarly there is no single reason for the discontinuation of the informal networks. This paper attempts to find out the factors that influence the informal network’s disintegration in organizations. From the literature review it was found that experience, extracurricular activities, homophile, organizational change, organizational structure, norms, information or knowledge embedding and group cohesion are some factors that influence the disintegration of informal network within an organization.
