take important decisions. These individuals are very essential for the company or
workplace and are known as decision makers. In organization, power gets higher
authority and decisions made by them are respectively accepted as well as followed

managing employees as well as its business operations to achieve growth and
development. But there are some issues related to this culture of power as managers
can get partial sometimes and conflict situation can arise in the organization.

solving various issues and challenges. In 4com Plc, employees have a common
objective for which they perform various functions and activities. It also helps them to
learn and develop new skills within the employees leading towards enhanced
performance and productivity. Each and every employee provide extra efforts to
accomplish a task, this process also assists in creating a friendly business environment
in the organization. In this kind of culture, individuals contribute equally and achieve
an objective in an innovative manner.

as compared to their organization. Such organizations follow a culture known as
person culture. In this kind of culture, employees focus on their facilities in a great
way (Bahmani-Firouzi and Azizipanah-Abarghooee, 2016). The employees are much
obsessed about their needs, wants and esteem. The employees within 4com Plc are not
that much satisfied and happy but there are many top level managers who keeps the
company at first priority.

and responsibilities with respect to their interest, skills, qualification and abilities. In

tasks and perform effectively. On the other hand lower employees are not much
capable of understanding their roles and responsibilities. So, bring the changes in
culture, it is very important for 4com Plc to specify roles of the employees.
