INTRODUCTION
Organisational behaviour is the study that helps in improving understanding of people’s
behaviour while performing various activities in the organisation. Through this complex nature
of human beings in the organisation is analysed that helps in understanding reason behind
behaviour of individuals at workplace. It provides a direction to business houses for motivating
employees and to maintain interrelations in the company. Personal skills an ability of an
individual is improved by understanding their behaviour that ultimately leads to enhancement of
efficiency. For this project organisational and behavioural issues that arises within NHS, since
the announcement of Brexit is mentioned (Bastos and Mercea, 2019). National Health Service
organisation is established in the year 1948 on the principal that services should be
comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery. The project comprised of report on
culture, policies and power in organisational context with various motivational theories to
achieve individual and team goal. The vision and mission provided by NHS aims to keep people
healthy and reduce health inequalities.
NHS VISION: NHS vision is to deliver health, better care and better value.
MISSION: NHS mission statement reflects to provide quality of care to every person
every day.
AIMS: NHS is established with aim to maximise health and well-being and prevent
illness. It is all about trying to keep people well by delivering them better care through quick
access to Morden services.
2: Influence of culture, politics and power on the behaviour of others in an organisation
National Health Service (NHS) is one of the largest healthcare systems in the world
provided by the British Government. It is a publicly funded healthcare system which provides
free services to patients and funds are raised from the amount of tax paid by the general public.
NHS is established with a vision to ensure that all the patients received best possible care all over
the world. NHS works on its mission to care, achieve and innovate through providing improved
quality services and at the same time embracing innovation to deliver enhanced productivity and
improved services.

Culture, power and policies established in an organisation helps in formation of working
environment for the employees which suites them most to work on the greatest efficiency. As
culture in the business environment keeps on changing due to new innovations and with the
passage of time (Bernstein, 2017). Brexit has become one of the important factor for member
state of European Union for influence organisational behaviour. That culture that is followed in
National Health Service organisation is affected in such manner-
Handy’s culture model
Power Culture: Power culture grants decision making rights into few hands. This gives
power to lie in few hands and those individuals hold preferential position over others. Workforce
of the organisation becomes follower of what is instructed to them (Chung and Kim, 2019).
Task Culture: In this culture all the rights and responsibilities related to a particular
department or project is granted to leader of the project. Through this culture quick decisions are
made and employees working in the team are given opportunity on the basis of their skills and
talents. As NHS is governed by the government regulations but to perform various activities
several departments are formed and they are granted with rights to take every action required to
perform activities in most flexible manner.
Person Culture: In this form of culture whole organisation used to follow one leader
who takes all the decision for the business. This organisation culture leads to concentration of
power and do not give employees chance to give their opinion on any issue. This form of culture
is not implemented in NHS as it is one of the largest health care organisations all over the world
and reliance on individual skills and knowledge will not be beneficial for business objective.
Role Culture: This form of culture is most suitable for NHS organisation as speciality is
required for providing services to patients (Ford and Goodwin, 2017). Granting roles to
employees as per their skills and qualification will enhance their efficiency and best treatment
will be provided by NHS.
A mix of power and role culture is most suitable for National Health Service organisation
as this will leads to establishment of positive organisational atmosphere. Aim and objective of
NHS to keep each individual healthy by providing best medical services will be achieved in this
culture.
