INTRODUCTION
In current era, organisation behaviour define actual working system and status of the
business firm. Basically, it is one of the important concepts as with the help of this, actual
working performance and style of all employees of the firm can be identified and analysed.
Therefore, within organisation, it is necessary to manage and control all business activities and
operations (Wickramasinghe and Perera, 2014). Thus, it should adopt and implement
appropriate methods and techniques. In the other hand, this report totally based on BBC (British
Broadcasting Corporation). Hence, in context of this organisation, Handy's culture typology will
be defined. Additionally, the culture, power and politics of BBC Company will be explained. In
this light, there will be examination of several types of teams in the context of BBC.
TASK 1
a) Handy Cultural Typology
Every organisation has their different working style, management system and culture.
Thus, it is necessary to effectively analyse all these aspects in an impressive manner. With the
help of them, actual work performance and quality of employees can systematically be identified
(Sandman and et. al., 2012). Apart from this, working performance and quality of staff members
plays vital role because organisation's profitability and productivity are co-related with each
other. Thus, it is necessary to adopt and implement appropriate management system within
organisation so that all business activities and operations can be significantly managed and
controlled in an impressive way. Apart from this, there are explaining the distinctive culture
which has been carried out by the BBC in their working environment. In the other hand, there are
elaborating Handy's culture it will helps to effectively define culture and working environment of
the company. Thus, this culture basically divided into several parts such as follows:
 Power culture: This is one of the important types of culture in which power, duties or
responsibilities are allocated to all staff members of organisation so that all employees
will significantly perform their tasks and operations as per the rules and regulations. It
assists to maintain an effective and healthy environment within organisation (Agarwal
and et. al., 2012).
 Task culture: In this, employers make a group of persons or team as per their working
skills and capabilities and then allocate the tasks and operations to them. Thus, they can
1

effectively perform their tasks in an effective and efficient manner. While groups are
made by the employers of the business firm then also have to be decide their common
goals which should be achieve by team members. In the context of BBC, manager of the
BBC Company wants to be create effective team of person so that they can achieve their
mission as well as can get success in competitive market place.
 Person culture: In this type of culture included those individuals who have high
significance level as compare with organisation. Thus, this culture helps to enhance
profitability and productivity of the business firm. Additionally, in this, all team members
effectively perform their operations with appropriate results and outcomes (Wong, Wong
and Ngo, 2012).
 Role culture: This type of culture is basically developed within organisation for proper
utilisation of employees. Here, major powers and duties are delegated to all staff
members so that they will significantly perform their tasks and achieve targets and goals
in a systematic way. Generally, power and responsibilities are delegated by the employers
to employees as per their working performance and positions. Apart from this, while
employers working in a team or a group for achieving common goals then respectively

In the other hand, Hofstede theory its based on social psychologist aspect therefore it aids

Every business firm has their own vision and mission which they want to be achieve in
the future so that they can set a positive brand image as well as get success in competitive
marketplace (NutbeamHarris and Wise, 2010). Apart from this, if superiors of the organisation
judge all over employees as per the rationalism them it may be impacts on working performance
and quality of staff members. In the other hand, culture powers and polices are plays important
role for every business firm because with the help of them significantly identify and examine the
actual working system and internal environment of the company. In context of BBC, in this
company, several types of culture, religion caste of person are working and thus, it is necessary
to delegate power and duties to them without any discrimination so that they will effectively
perform their operations as well as develop a healthy environment within organisation.
In the other hand, politics can be effectively carried out as an important aspect for every
business firm because it helps to provide several opportunities and chances to company as well
as to employees (Ashby, 2013). So that they can enhance their performance and skillets in an
effective style. Therefore, it is required to be implement and develop appropriate polices, rules
ad regulation within the organisation so that systematically compete the all operations as well as

problems between employees and employers. All these negative aspects are directly impacts on
company's profitability and productivity (Solomon, Russell-Bennett and Previte, 2012).
Therefore, it is required to be implement and regulate effectively polices and rules within the
organisation. With the help of them systematic manage and control all business activities and
operations in an impressive way.
M1 Analyse culture, power and politics can influence individual and team behaviour
Culture, power and politics of the business firm plays important role within the
organisation because they helps to manage and creates healthy working environment as well as
maintain all working system of this company. Thus, it is necessary to be implement effective
management system as well as regulate appropriate rules and regulations. So that employees of
3

the firm will systematically perform their tasks and achieve their goals and objectives in a

TASK 2

productivity of business firm because both things are corrected with each others. Therefore, it is
necessary to be use effective motivation theories and approaches within the organisation for

theory which can be used by BBC for improving motivation and confidence level such as
follows:
Content theory: This type of theory define human needs and also explain that why needs are
change with time. It include various type of motivational theories are as follows:
Maslow's Hierarchy of needs: As per this theory, every person have their basic needs
and requirements which have to be full fill in a effective way. Thus, in which theory all needs are
categorised into five parts such as follows:
 Physiological needs: In which included basic and necessary needs and requirements of
an individual such as food, shelter, water and so more (Alfes and et. al., 2013).
 Safety and security needs: In the context of this type needs, in which persons wants

wants to be accomplish all their requirements and needs as well as they focus on to get
everything in their life (Farndale, Hope-Hailey and Kelliher, 2011).
Another one motivational theory is Herzberg's motivation hygiene theory in which

they compare their work with other in order to evaluate their performance.
 Goal setting: Under this, if employees easily understand their target and goals than they
easily perform their work and enhance their effectiveness within the organization.
Behaviour and performance of employees will get affected by others directly or
indirectly. Thus, many theories of motivation will be used by superiors as it helps to examine
their behave. This works as a motivation for them. From above described hypothesis, Maslow
hierarchy needs are more adequate as this helps to give inspiration to people in each and every
aspect. Therefore, they will easily attain coveted targets within limited period of time. In context
of BBC, manager is using Maslow's theory which help them to render motivation to employees.
As a result, they will accomplish their work within limited period of time.

In the context of Herzberg's two factor theory, in which employers or organisation

their working performance and skills in a impressive manner.
Maslow's Hierarchy theory also can be used by BBC organisation for increase
motivation level as well as full fill basic needs and requirements of employees. So that, BBC can

Wilson, 2011).
Along with this, Expectancy theory is also an effective for the employees because it

the firm cannot able to perform their tasks with better quality. Thus, employers of the
BBC organisation has developed problem solving team of individuals for solving an
