There is structure can be perceived as the greatest type of organizational structure.
Organization structure is totally dependent upon the company according. Preserve our enduring
commitment to integrity by shaping our ethical performance culture and by providing clear
guidance. Organization culture of Kellogg’s are currently followed by traditional company
culture with chairman at the top a president /chief executive officer. On the other sides, President

Operation Officer and the chief officer positions and several senior vice presidents. Currently

Handy four classes of culture
Power Culture
In an organization with a power culture might be positive and negative, it totally based on the
individuals. Team members influence the positive and negative power in order to rebuilt the situational
analysis. Apart from that it brings lots of opportunity for the people to learn and implement the work
into effective manner. A power culture is defined the strong culture but on the same side it smoothly
turns into toxic (Chernyak-Hai and Rabenu, 2018). Power culture works either a bottom up or top down

approach. In case of a bottom line approach pf power culture the distribution of power is very high in
which employees taking decision making approach by their own level. On the other side, it also affects
the in case of a complete top down independent matter of fact. It also helps to apart from that. It also
helps to take the new leading approach and better effective result oriented task and technologies. In

performance.
Role Culture
Organizations who followed with rules and regulations they followed the better roles and
responsibilities. Role cultures on detailed organizational structures which are typically tall with a
long chain of command. Role also defined the roles and responsibility of an individual person in
order to fulfill the best effective results. If company having role culture it be very bureaucratic
and ineffective. Organization who apply role culture it may lead stable environment position of
the company in the market.

objectives.
This culture interrelates with organizational performance in positive terms because it
provides security and the opportunity to acquire specialist expertise and also employees get
rewarded for their good performance as well.

The advantage of this culture is invented the new resources and methods to gain company
profit. This culture adopts the approach of unifying power in order to improve the work efficiency and
build productive team work.

their values. An individual works for the more advancing manner such as freelancer workers etc. this
culture rarely found in the organizations generally. Person culture is the organization helps top fulfill the
company aims and objectives in a more proper manner. Not many organizations can exit with this sort
of culture or produce it, since organization tend to have some form of corporate objectives over and
above the personal objectives of those who comprise them (Lee, Shiue and Chen, 2016).

interpersonal roles and information role to monitor the performance of others employees and set the
decisional roles to accomplish the company set aims and objectives.

The role of motivator has been arising from the word of manager. In others words, to get the
output of the work of others in order to complete the organizational task (McDavid, Huse and
Hawthorn, 2018). This role of manager also responsible for such activities such as performance
appraisal, reward, setting goals etc. So that, managers maintained the balance between of employee
interest or the organizational interest.

the company culture. This role of manager reflects the role to invest huge time on research findings.
Apart from that it also helps to discover the leading work objectives in order to make the best outcome
and goals. This is the another major and effective leadership styles that helps to control the long lasting
relationship between managers and leaders.

uncertain situation and rebuilt the management objectives and goals (Posavac, 2015). In other words,
manager is the person who play leaders role in order to resolve the conflict among employees within
Kellogg’s to sustained the positive working environment or culture within the company success.
Managers also play a most crucial role within the company environment in order to make the
contingency plans for the company.
Negotiator
Manager also perform a role to negotiate with employee for the purpose of organization
interest. Sometimes they make a deal which is beneficial for both the parties into the best performing
level in order to build up the new organizational purpose and goals (Yardley and et.al., 2015).
Evaluating the behavioral approach to management through different factors
Behavioral approach is the most common approach which comprise of vertical scales which are
based on certain parameters. In order to that it also helps to determine the employee performance.
This is the most common technique and most effective to measure the actual performance of employee
performance between the organization to build the effective management approaches (Ruhle and et.al.,
2018). In behavioral approach there are various methods through Kellogg’s can be determine the
employee performance such as Comparative approach, attribute approach, behavioral approach and
result approach and quality approach. All these factors might have change the behavior of employees.
The monitoring of features involved in behavioral approach depends on various features and factors
which are widely used to measure the performance of employees. Such techniques are used in different
organizations to adopt the performance and to deal with various approaches. Such approaches include
comparative and qualitative approaches which are based on parameters used to scale the performance
of employees in an organization as well as company success, company control, company turnover etc.
With an evaluation of behaviors high performance is directly connected and this helps in achieving the
targets, rewards and recognition and the employee’s spotlight (Wiegmann and Shappell, 2017). Because
of a good and healthy behavioral approach, performances also satisfy employees and motivate them to
get good appraisals. Keeping the approach transparent among the employees gives a better
understanding and leads to a better communication within the team as well as in the organization.
Hence, it is a very important and focused area for a company to lead and it also affects the growth level.
Seeking a good guidance from the directors and managers gives a specific vision to perform better in the
right path and also increases their scalability.
However, it is noticed that in an organization there are restrictions and control to the behaviors both
vertically and horizontally in the areas of employee performance. There also observed sometimes that
the evaluators are not up to the information and this creates uneven planning in an organization and
falls under bad behavioral approach (Sarooghi, Libaers and Burkemper, 2015).

On the other side, behavior of employees also affects by different factors such as biological, behavioral
and social factors all these factors might change the performance of employees in order to achieve their
aims and objectives. In others, it helps to motivate the employee behavior by applying the different
aspects of motivation to take individual behavior in positive manner. Moreover, it helps to measure the
effective management task in order to build up the company goals.
