TASK 1
P1 Analysis of organisation culture, power & politics that can affect team and individual
performance & behaviour
organisational behaviour is a process of gaining competitive advantage with an aim of
motivating the behaviour of individuals and team members (Osland, Devine and Turner, 2015).
The HR department plays a crucial role in order to maintaining a good relationship between
employer and employee. Below are some of the the factors that effect the behaviour of
employees as well as team members:
Culture:
Every organisation is based on some values, beliefs and culture. The primary role of human
resource in an organisation is to promote a good culture which will be helpful for the welfare of
employees of the company. Some of the cultures which are followed by LG are as follows:
Role culture: It is a business structural concept that is the specified role is assigned to each and
every em0ployee of the organisation. it takes place according to the skills and knowledge of
workers. In context to LG, the manager of the company assigned duties to all the subordinates so
that no confusion can be created among the employees. This will directly improve the
performance and efficiency of employees as well as teams.

Task culture: In these type of culture, the teams are formed and task is given to them with in a
specified time limit. With reference to LG, the manager will make healthy relationship between
employees by forming the groups and assign them the tasks. This will improve the behaviour of
team members as they have to work effectively and efficiently to achieve the goal with in a
specified time period.
Person culture: In these type of culture the focus is only on the behaviour of individuals rather
than the team. This culture help LG to develop or improve the skills and behaviour of the
employees individually. It also affect negatively to the organisation, as every employee thinks
themselves senior and work according to them. This will lead to non fulfilment of organisational
goals as per the specified time period.
From the above study about the various cultures it has been analysed that the culture that
is most beneficial for the LG is Role Culture. This will help LG to motivate employees an teams
which further improve the performance of the organisation.
POWER:
It is the ability of an individual to control the activities or attaining the goals. In the organisation
upper level authorities has the power to take decisions and assign the responsibilities to the
employees. In context to LG, the higher authorities uses different types of power in order to
improve the behaviour of its employees which are discussed below:
Reward power: This power is used by the authorities to give rewards to those employees who
give their best performance in the organisation. With reference to LG, the manager should give
rewards such as bonus, incentives, promotion to the employees who did hard work to achieve
organisational goals. This will motivate them and will positively effect on the behaviour of the
employees(Lăzăroiu, 2015).
Expert power: Expert power is used by the organisation to carry out the task effectively and in
appropriate manner. In context to LG, the company should take advise from the experts so that
the morale of the employees is increases which in turns improve the behaviour of workers in the
organisation.
It has been analysed that the power which improve the efficiency and performance of the
employees is Reward power. This will motivate team and individuals as they work with full zeal
when they get appreciation in terms of monetary benefits.
