P1 Influence of organization culture, politics and power on individual and team behaviour
Organisational behaviour can be defined as a process which is aiming to gain
comprehension related to different characteristics which are related to human behaviour and they
posses a motive of making strategies so that employees can be motivated. The human resource
department plays a very essential role in maintenance of relations between employer ad
employees in the company(Cherry, 2017). There are some elements with regards to Sainsbury
which are discussed below:
Culture
This is referred as basic ideology which are used by various enterprises. This is most
important role which is played by human resource department in having a culture which will
help in welfare of employees in company. There is a model such as Handy's typology which can
be used for analysing of culture of Sainsbury:
Role culture
This culture is related to overall functional structure of a company. This implies that
major power is related to assigning of duties by manager in accordance with skills and level of
competence possess by their workforce. In sainsbury, this culture can help in increasing overall

level of performance of employees. This will lead to increase in contribution of of employees in
development of organisation as a whole.
Task culture
This is also a form of culture which is having relation with various groups which are
formed for establishing harmony and healthy relationship among employees at different levels.
In Sainsbury Task culture will help in encouraging their workforce to attain their objectives in
the time period. This will also help in encouraging and motivating employees in the company.
Person culture:
This is regarded as culture which may have a negative impact on individuals. If culture
will be adopted in any organisation. If this culture will be adopted then this will help in
development of individual personality according to organisation. This culture in Sainsbury will
help them in increasing morale of employees. Every organisation must be careful while adopting
this culture as individual may start considering them as superior and this might create conflicts
which will lead to negative environment at workplace.
Power culture:
This culture can be seen in various enterprise when power is present with few individuals
only. The execution of this culture in Sainsbury may have a negative effect on individual
behaviour and team behaviour. This will affect their creativity and innovative thinking. Such
type of negativity if existing among employees will lead to decrease in employee outcome and
group outcome.
From above mentioned various types of cultures in the organisation, in this role culture
can be said to be best and most suitable with regard to present situation of company. This will act
as a tool to motivate employees and have a effect on their performance in a positive manner.
Politics: This is a process where human interaction occurs having relation with power. It
has both negative and positive impact on the working of organisation. Positive politics can be
regarded as a way in which employees are communicating with each other. In Sainsbury,
Positive politics will help in increasing outcome of employees as individual and negative politics
will lead to reduction in output of employees as negativity always has a adverse effect on a
persons overall productivity(Cacciattolo, 2015).
