INTRODUCTIONOrganizational behavior can be referred as the way in which people interact withingroups. Through applying this study within business, it helps in enhancing the skills of humanresources and thus, maximizes the output from individual group members. Further, it includesstructure and culture that helps in determining the performance of business and developsrelationship among workers and organization (Coninck and et. al., 2008). Here, in the presentstudy, two different organizations City College and Enterprise Rent-A-Car has been comparedand contrasted in order to assess their organizational structure and culture. Also, differentleadership styles such as autocratic and democratic have been analyzed in order to evaluate itsimpact upon two organizations. In the report, scholar also discussed about different factors thatcan help in making a team effective and achieve organizational goals. TASK 2a) Impact of different leadership style on City College and EnterpriseFollowing are the different leadership styles that have their impact on the organizations -Autocratic style- Here, individuals possess the power to make decision and does notinvolve other employees. For instance, top management of any business takes crucialdecision themselves as they do not have much time to involve each and every employeein decision making. Thus, it affects the operations of business (Daft, 2010). Democratic style- In this, leader involves each and every worker to participate in thedecision making process so that different perspectives of individuals can be analyzed inorder to attain the desired goals. It is a lengthy and time consuming process (Densten,2001). Laissez-faire style- It is a delegative leadership style and authorities are handed over toindividual members so that they can make decisions on their own.After determining the case, it assesses that City College does not have an effective leader.However, it is owned and run by Principal Mr. Wakefield as he acquires a new ownership as aprivate investor (Drucker, 2012). Therefore, it can be analyzed that City College undertakesdemocratic leadership style as it involves each and every department to give their suggestions inorder to effectively deal with the students and to satisfy their needs. While, in Enterprise,managers use varied range of management and leadership styles in order to focus upon

customer’s needs and preferences. Both autocratic and democratic leadership style has beenadopted in order to create new opportunities and growth for employees. Management ofEnterprise- Rent-A-Car provides freedom to their workers to introduce innovative ideas so thatproblems can be overcome and organizational goals can be attained (Knights and Willmott,2007). b) Organizational theory is linked to the management style which is practiced in twoorganizationsThrough evaluating both the case studies of City College and Enterprise, it assesses thatboth the organizations adopt Theory Y type of management style. Douglas McGregor assessesTheory X and Theory Y which are two different types of management styles. In this, Theory Yanalyzes that managers provide full freedom to their employees in order to state their views infront of the management (Griffin and Moorhead, 2013). Hence, it helps business to grow andachieve profitability. However, in City College, there are different departments that worktogether in order to overcome the problems of students and to provide them the best learningopportunity. Thus, such type of activity creates encouragement and improves the performance ofindividual members within firm. While, Enterprise Rent-A-Car enables team work andcoordination so that needs and preferences of customers can be fulfilled. Hence, business relieson the principle that it is essential to deliver quality services to clients in order to attain high levelof self-esteem. Business also provides an equal opportunity to every worker so that productivityand profitability can be improved (Jackson and Carter, 2009). Here, it has been assessed that organizational theory is effectively interconnected with themanagement style so that both employees and organization can effectually interact with eachother. However, both City College and Enterprise is required to undertake behavioral theory as ithelps leaders to take effective decisions in order to fulfill the needs of workers and to attain thegoals (Luthans, 2001). Further, business also adopts contingency theory as it helps individuals toimplement different strategies and to achieve goals. Fayol's principle of management has beenadopted by City College that helps them to develop a unique culture at workplace as it assists individing the workers into different sub groups and in carrying out the task effectively. On theother hand, Enterprise adopts new-classical theory which helps in focusing upon the targets andin enhancing the performance of employees (Marjosola and Mills, 2002).
