On the other hand, power is also influencing on the overall performance of team. Ifpower goes in wrong hand, entire organisation get destroyed. For instance, managers who arepresent at higher authority are committing discrimination by giving appraisals to their fellowswithout detecting their qualities and past report of performance. Then, this will create conflictingenviron amongst other people. Team members get demotivated which negatively impact onproductivity of organisation. Complaints may come from the side of customers that theirproducts and services are not good as they expected. It will reduce the overall number of user ofcorporation (Burrell and Morgan, 2017). Hence, 4com should consider this and recruitappropriate manager for taking care of management activity. In corporation- al context, politics simply refers to the activity of acting inappropriatelywithin venture. People who are at high designation used to play politics by framing someschemes. Their main aim is to gain attention of team heads so that they receive promotion. Thesestrategies are not healthy in nature since it may cause depression to other one to whom wholegame is being played, if he or she is not strong internally. This generates negativity amongst staffmembers since no body would prefer to work in that condition where motivation is not achieved.This also affect on physical health of worker. Hence, supervisor of 4Com require to monitorevery activity happening within workplace. If they found anything not suitable for theiremployees, then they should try to eliminate such circumstances. Handy model can be consider by HR department of 4com plc. According to this model there aredifferent types of culture within in a company which influence individual and team behaviourand performance is discussed below :Power culture : In this kind of culture, authority or power are constricted in few hands. Inother words, it is centralised in nature. Decisions are made very quickly since few peopleparticipate in decision-making. But there is one limitation i.e. assistants have to followeach and every instruction given by their heads. Thus, freedom of employees getimpacted antagonistically and they are not able to present their opinions (CHEN and et.al., 2013). In context of 4com plc is has been observed that as power is centralisedemployees tend to get demotivated easily. Also employers frame rules as per theirbenefits and may even disregard feelings and sentiments of their team members as well asemployees. 2
