Diversity in an organization is related to having inclusive workforce within an
organization. Such workforce involves different persons working with coordination and
togetherness for accomplishing of goals. Diversity in an organization can be promoted by
following certain steps and they are as follows:
Mental ability of an individual

makes an organization understand that weather a person is possessing correct knowledge
about task he or she has been allotted to do (Potdar, Unnikrishnan and Singh, 2019).
 Also in this reasoning, problem solving and applying solution in appropriate manner is

negative influence?
Supervisor's is one of the most important part of an organization as they have tendency to
influence junior employees form there work and behaviour. Reduction in stress can be very
helpful in reduction of negative influence of subordinates behaviour (Pham and et. al., 2020).
Reduction of stress: This is one of the most common factor that impacts subordinates behaviour
because due to work pressure sometimes angers can occur within subordinates. Supervisor's are
required to introduce various activities like yoga classes, indoor games which helps in reducing
negative impact of behaviour that eventually makes working environment safer to work.
Further stress can be understood through General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) this
model states that resistance level at the time of stressful events differ from person to person. For
this only three stages has been identified in the theory that is alarm, resistance and exhaustion.
Subordinates has to follows certain strategies to reduce stress and they are as follows:
 Organisational Coping Strategies: In this institutional programs is required to be
modified through designing work schedule. Also healthy work culture should be
introduced which makes coordination between supervisor possible.
 Collateral programs: Under it stress management has to be focused that can be done
through healthy promotion, employees fitness programs and career development.
 Fundamental Work-Life Relationships: This means that subordinates are required to
make employee understand about balancing of work and personal life which can be done
by making importance of long-term and short term perspective of problems at
workplace. Also demands from both sides can be extreme and people may need to be
prepared to make trade.
Various other factors that can impact behaviour of employees are as follows:
 Emotions: They have both behavioural and physiological changes in attitude of an
employee.
 Moods: This is makes tend to be unfocused and diffused, short-term emotional states, not
directed toward anything in particular.
 Affectivity: In this tendency to experience a particular mood or to react to things with
certain emotions.

Question 3

In the given situation Mark Martin has been appointed manger of production team for
11pm to 7am shift in large manufacturing firm. He is concerned about performance of team
members that can be achieved by applying theories related to motivation and they are as follows:
Maslow's hierarchy of needs: In this theory it has been explained that humans are
required to have certain needs which are important to attain satisfaction in life. Further they are
being explained in pyramid form (MCKENNA, 2019). Such needs are explained as follows: Physiological needs: These are biological needs which are required by human to survive
like food, drink, shelter, clothing etc. Safety needs: Under this needs more focus is over safety and needs for security is
included within it. Love and belongingness needs:This is related to develop strong relation between two
individuals. Esteem needs:As per this esteem of oneself like dignity, mastery and independence is
included. Also desired of getting respect from other is there.
 Self-actualization needs: In this person's potential, self-fulfilment, personal growth and
peak experiences is being observed.
Goal Setting Theory: This theory is based on resulting into conscious goals and
intention which cane be achieved by setting goals for people within an organization. Also this is
able to influence behaviour of employees in an organization. Purposes of Setting Goals in
Organisations

Leadership is the process by which an organization's employees gets motivate to work
and enhance performance. Leaders are there to give motivation that increases productivity of an
organization. Approaches of leadership are:

1. Transformational leadership: These are the abilities that allows leaders to recognize
and executing of change in effective way.
2. Charismatic Leadership: In this kind of leadership personal characteristics is being
seen within leaders and also there charisma.
Issues that can occur within leadership are as follows: Failure in communication: If communication is not going to be improved then there is
not going to be proper transfer of information that is going to lead over making an
organization's work to be collapsed. Developing Employees: the challenge of developing others, including mentoring and
coaching.
 Leading a Team: the challenge of team-building, team development, and team
management. Specific leadership challenges include how to in still pride, how to provide
support, how to lead a big team, and what to do when taking over a new team( Chisita,
and Fombad, 202).
The Leader-Member Exchange Model
 Suggests that leaders form unique independent relationships with each of their
subordinates
 Each superior-subordinate pair is termed a “vertical dyad”.
 Supervisors establish a close working relationship with a small number of trusted
subordinates referred to as the “in-group”
 Subordinates who are not a part of the “in-group” are called the “out-group,” and they
receive less of the supervisor’s time and attention
Question 5
Describe when and where organisational politics occur and the forms of such behaviour?
Organizational policies are those kind of policies that has bee impacting organizational
behaviour of employees within an organization. These policies creates social influence and
directs employees to perform the work by protecting investors interest. If organizational policies
are negative then it is going to create job anxiety, greater intention to discontinue, low
satisfaction from job, decreases of commitment within an organization and lower productivity is

going to be there. Political behaviour can be improved by following ways and they are as

Technology is going to be have drastic impact on organizational culture exiting within an
organization in a way that:

precise. This is going to be helpful for making an organization form strategies as per the
situation existing in an organization. Also it makes better information to be collective
about employees to be recruited (Block, 2016).
2. Provide and receive feedback: Feedback is collected about employees work that has
been done by him. This helps in enhancing of employees performance which makes task
to be completed with more efficiency. Survey and goal-tracking tools allow managers to
quickly check in with employees more frequently, instead of waiting for an annual
performance review.
3. Offer more flexibility: Technology makes it easier for employees to work remotely or
when travelling. Some companies are moving away from all-encompassing enterprise
systems and seeking out technology that is source-agnostic, modular, and interconnected.
Technology has played a very important role in enhancing of various activities that has
been taking place within an organization. Also it has ease down the process and made work
