2) Impact of organisational structure on its culture
Organisational structure is considered as a system which highlights how specific
practices are guided for attaining organisational objectives. These practices may incorporate
accountabilities, roles and norms. Along with this, it also ascertains that how flows of
information go among various levels into entity.
Organisation structure is considered as a process in which their focus is on allocating
role as well as responsibilities for progress in organisation, how resource will controlled or
monitor and the communication flow with various department is also discussed in this report.
There are two important component of organisation structure named as centralised and
decentralized. In centralised structure of organisation, all power related to decision taken
which put in hand of higher authority of organisation. There are various department as well as
function of organisation which is monitored or controlled in order to conduct different
activities in an appropriate manner.
Organisation culture it signifies belief, shared, value as well as ritual of organisation in
order to perform their work in an appropriate manner. It is important for organisation to
follow culture in an appropriate manner. In culture of organisation includes experience,
expectation values as well as philosophy that organisation required to perform by a person in
together if the culture of organisation is not superior than it imposes direct effect on
performance level of organisation and its productivity level. A culture within enterprise
reflect the work environment of a company and also it is being counted as important part
because on the basis of this retain period of employee depends at all level. Therefore, it is
essential for both the sectors to have a positive work culture so that both employees and other
people have a good image brand. In enterprise culture, it also reflects the practices which are
followed by entity at workplace (Ciasullo, 2017). In addition to this, in reference of
organisational culture there are various points which are going to be mentioned below:
 It is determined as a method and organisation organised its activities related to
company and deal with subordinate in an appropriate manner.
 They focus on providing freedom to it subordinates for taking decisions and
introducing innovative ideas during particular phase of time period.
 Apart from this, under decentralized structure of organisation the power of
taking decision is provided to its subordinate who performs their work in lower as
well as middle level management to enhance execution of activity and functions of
organisation and provide satisfaction to individual person during particular phase of
time period. Organisation culture signifies the particular set of values that is provided

with subordinate in order to interact with one another in an appropriate manner. The
culture business organisation is determined as a wider concept and it is difficult for
organisation to explain but it is considered as a personality of organisation. The
culture of organisation imposes positive effect on structure which is used by
organisations that help in achieving goal in timely manner. Therefore, the company
named focus is on providing different facilities to its customer by using formal
structure during particular phase of time period. The management team emphasised
on providing guidance to its employees in order to perform different work in an
appropriate manner and achieve favourable outcome in future period of time.
The organisation cannot operate without subordinates so it is necessary to have a informal
structure that help in giving shape to its perception, behaviour as well as attitude of individual
person. This make sure that there are various number of employees who focuses on
performing work together in order to achieve objectives of business organisation. The culture
of company use several ways signifies organisation structure which is connected to Enterprise
and completely different from one another. The organisation structure signifies framework
which is executed by culture of organisation. The organisation focuses on using appropriate
structure of organisation that help in including quality of services that is provided to its
nurses in order to satisfy its client. The performance of company under functional structure of
organisation imposes direct impact on communication process handling and managing
technical issue as well as so on (Dueñas, 2016).
Matrix structure of Organisation imposes direct effect on production as well as decision
which is taken by company. There are different kind of structure of organisation which
imposes a direct impact on quality and appropriateness of functions which is executed by
organisation. The overall structure of organisation signifies the role of every subordinate and
culture that provide them guidance to perform work in an appropriate manner. The culture of
business organisation focuses on encouraging its subordinate in order to complete its works.
Moreover, it helps it subordinate in to resolve problem in an appropriate manner.
Organisation culture signifies the particular set of values that is provided with subordinate in
order to interact with one another in an appropriate manner. The culture business organisation
is determined as a wider concept and it is difficult for organisation to explain but it is
considered as a personality of organisation.
The organisation structure as well as culture of organisational interconnected with one
another. Therefore the organisation focus on launching any types of changes which is related

to structure of organisation that includes a direct effect on role of organisation and enhance
productivity levels during particular phase of time period. The culture of organisation
provides guidance to subordinate how to behave with other individual person involving

supporting staff in order to behave with its user in an appropriate manner and resolve critical
condition in proper way. The whole structure described responsibility of individual person in
order to perform their work in better way. The business organisation and culture signifies
information regarding what is determined as right as well as wrong. Apart from this, the
business organisation focuses on providing take care to its nurses in order to enhance quality
of activities and functions during particular phase of time period (Hinteregger, 2017).
After examining of above matter, it has been seen that both organisation structure as well
as culture are different from each other but are interconnected too. Furthermore, the impact of
structure on culture of enterprise is wider and broader which makes it difficult to make
decisions with within a management. Employees with another entity often get affected by
culture of an enterprise and their motivation as well as moral get impacted by this structure
and culture simultaneously.

manner. It is often seen that in social and health care sectors organisation structure please

responsible for handling as well as managing patients their members of the family and
other facilities within an enterprise. Due to this core responsibilities assigned to them

distributors executive administrator as well as directors. They are most important people of

entity because they have higher authority and power to make decisions within a company's
structure (Pollock, 2018).
The above explained matter shows that and cooperation without for structure is unable to
survive in market for longer period of it is necessary to implement strategies and tactics it is
necessary to implement strategies and tactics on the basis of which structures are properly
followed and monitored. Moreover, when implementing these types of structures within a
specific sector it is important to focus on work environment so that decisions are made and
