The Handy's model of organizational culture is divided into four types of culture:
Power Culture
In ASOS, power is given to few senior officials in the organization, and they make the
rules and regulations for the employees of the organization. It is also known as Zeus culture.
The rules are to be followed by the employees. In this culture the decision are taken by the senior
in power only, which makes the decision-making easy and time efficient. The achievement of the
employees is indicated by the work they complete rather than the ways in which the task is being
completes with. This culture is considered a strong culture for the organization to follow but this
culture can also be toxic to the organization.
Role Culture
Role culture work on the rules made in accordance with the objectives of ASOS. It is also
known as Apollo culture. The power in the organization is distributed among the people working
there, the people know their responsibilities. The power is distributed according to the position of
the employees in the organization. The culture follows a long complex structural organization to
implement a decision. The decision-making in the organization following role culture takes
really long time and effort but the process of decision-making is done according to the
professionals. The organization following the role culture is very concerned about the procedure
of the decision-making process (Pathiranage, 2019).
