TASK 1
P1) Examine how an organisation’s culture, politics and power can influence individual and team
behaviour and performance
Organisational behaviour refers to the process the aim is to understand the individual
behaviour characteristics with the aim to design the strategies and polices in order to motivate
their behaviour in a effective manner. There are culture, politics and power factors within the
organisation that have a impact on the performance of the individual as well as of the team.
Mentioned below are the elements are disused in the context to the LG company.
Culture:
Organisational culture is the combined element of the value, expectations and practices that
guide and inform the whole team to take action in the right direction. With the perspective of LG
Company, manager has the responsibility to maintain the corporate culture which is based on
creativity and autonomy within the organisation. This has been followed while creating work

Role culture: this culture of the organisation is based on the rules and regulations. In this all
employees are posses with the responsibility and roles assign by the managers on the basis of
their specializes, education qualification, interest and skills. By adopting this culture in LG,
overall productivity of the employees and organisation can be maximize as this extract the bets
out of the employees. It support business in to increase the quality of task done by the
employees. Along with this it increase the efficiency of the team and individual to attain the
objectives in a well defined manner. (Gkorezis and Petridou, 2017)
Person culture: In this individual considered themselves as superior and unique then the
entity. They give more importance to themselves and concerned about their own self rather than
organisation and its objectives. With the implementation of this culture in LG can increase the
employees output at a individual level as they only work for the sake of money. but it will
negatively affect the overall productivity of the organisation as they never get attached to it.
Task culture: This culture is formed in the organisation when team is made to addressed the
solution of the specific problems in order to progress the project in a effective manner. By this
culture in LG, will ensures the support of the individual and also encourage them to move to the
right and positive direction. This results in incrse in the motivation among the team members and
enhance the productivity of the business in a effective way.
Power culture: In this form culture, power to the take the decision is lies within the few
executives or in the hand of top management. With the execution of this culture in the LG
company, can increase the efficiency and quality of the decision making but also disrupt the
creativity and ability of the employees and team. This decrease the motivation and productivity
as whole. (Jacobs and Manzi, 2020).
Politics
Organisational politics are those activities that are not be considered as a part of the
formal role in the organisation. This is self-serving behaviour that employees use to enhance the
performance and probability of getting the positive outcome in the organisation. It can be in a
positive or in a negative form, if the LG use this as a positive politics then it enforce the flexible
working practices and adequate individual relationship with each other. And also help in increase
the overall profitability of the organisation. However if negative politics prevail in the
organisation then it results in the personality demotion, biasness within the team and overall
performance of the entity.
