Part B: Factors affecting behaviour and teamwork
There are various factors existing which influence employee's and team working in the
organisation.

 Factors Influence Individual Behaviour
1. Leadership : This is one of the major factors which is influence the individual behaviour
of the employee in the company. Leaders and managers play big role in the company
which are providing perfect guidelines for the work to the employee. Employee take tasks
from the leader and try to cover it on their own work efficiency. In that case if the leader
of the employee is punctual and good by nature then employee also felt conformable to
work with them. In other hand the leader is not fulfilled their leadership duties in
systematic manner and careless for their work, in that case this is too much influence
employee's work efficiency negatively (Kaldheim and Slettebø, 2016). Employee also
become poor at their work because their leader is not give them perfect guideline of the
work. These all are too bad for the company's future. If company face these type of the
situations then top-level management of the company need to take systematic action to
solve this issue. This factor is truly influence the individual behaviour in the organization.
2. Communication : Communication factor is also influence the individual behaviour in
the company. If any company has good communication skills in their workplace, in that
case these are influence individual behaviour in a positive form. Other side if company

behaviour negatively. Every company need to improve communication aspect in their
business environment to gain better result from the employees efforts. This is help to the
employee to improve their work efficiency. So, this is also influencing factor for
individual behaviour.
3. Work Culture : Company's work culture is also influencing individual behaviour in the
business environment. When company has good work culture, then it is affecting
employee's work efficiency positively. When company has poor or bad work culture,
then it is negatively affecting employee's work efficiency (Gupta and Hyde, 2016). Work
culture of the company always need to be good and effective to increase employee's
productivity. Management need to implement such important strategies in the work
system to improve work culture of the company.
 Factors Influence Teamwork
1. Team Size : Size of the team is major influencing factor of the teamwork, because if size
of the team is small in that case teamwork become more productive. In other hand if size

of the team is large, then productivity of the teamwork is decrease. In the large size of the
teamwork includes many team members, so the chances of the team disputes are highly
existing, because there are all has different mentality and different decisions. Small
teamwork are more effective, because one leader is enough to control all teamwork
activities. So, the size of the teamwork also an influencing factor.
2. Motivation : In the teamwork, motivation is also one influencing factor. In which the
leader of the team motivate the all team members to achieve their team goal (Currey,
Allen and Jones, 2018). This is productive aspect in the teamwork, because without it all
team members become unenergetic on their particular work.
3. Cohesiveness : Cohesiveness affecting teamwork in the organization. It is help to the
team members to understand the value of partner or other team member. Without it
