TASK 1
P1: How an organisations culture, politics and power influence individual and team behaviour:
Organization culture, power and politics have huge influence on its day to day operations.
It defines structure of an enterprise and ways in which it tasks are delegated to staff members and
decided objectives are achieved. Hence, it pertains high impact on productivity of an enterprise
(Ghosh and Deb, 2018).
Organizational culture: Culture of an entity refers to a combination of business
practices as well as values that it pertains. It has effect on every aspect of business. For
evaluating workplace culture of Richer sounds, Handy's Model is implemented. This model was
introduced by Charles Handy with the intention of identifying best suited culture for an
organization (Somech and Khotaba, 2017). It categorizes culture of an organization into four
categories, which are described below:
 Power culture: In this culture power is entitled to only few individuals. Hence, few
members have decision making power. Application of this culture in Richer sounds
enables firm to make decisions quickly and it serves as fast implementation of policies
which improves performance of team as every tasks are clearly delegated.

 Role culture: According to this culture, position of a person drives its power. Hence, in
accordance to the specialization of team member task is assigned to them (Tosti-Kharas,
Lamm and Thomas, 2017). It leads to improvement of team efficiency in Richer sounds
and motivates team to take challenges and perform to their best level.
 Task culture: In task culture, critical task is assigned to team members which they have
to complete within decided time. This culture is implemented in an organization where
high specialized team is working. It helps Richer sounds to achieve complicated targets in
efficient way.
 Person Culture: By application of this culture in an entity, business can motivate its
team members to perform better. Reason is that, person culture is more concerned about
its staff member (Wombacher and Felfe, 2017). By appliance of power culture in Richer
sounds, power lies among every team and hence, core competencies of team increase.
Among all mentioned cultures, task culture is best suited for Richer sounds. Reason as
that, this culture challenges performance of team at every level by delegating critical tasks to
them. It motivates individual to improve their performance which ultimately improvises
productivity of an organization.
Organizational Power: It denotes capability of an organization to utilize available
resources in such a way that leads to development of an entity. Organizational resources refer to
manpower of business, its machines, etc. This power of an enterprise is measured in extend to its
influence on performance of entity. For the purpose of evaluating organizational power, French
and Raven power bases is utilized by Richer sounds. It categorizes organizational power into
five forms, which are described below:
 Coercion: It is power form, threat or force is utilised above team for the purpose of task
completion. Main idea of coercion power-based organization is to make team members to
the task without considering about their willingness. This organizational power gives
leaders of Richer sounds proper control over working of team members. It also authorizes
leaders to rectify defying nature of individuals (Woodside, 2016).
 Reward: Reward organizational power targets individual behaviour of enjoying rewards
and recognitions. Hence, in this power form leaders of Richer sounds offers promotions,
appraisals, incentives and various kinds of reward to team members. Motive of this is to
make individual work efficiently towards achievement of targets.
