INTRODUCTIONOrganization behaviour is treated as a study of both individual and group performancewithin business organization. This study also analyses the human behaviour in the organizationand examines its impact on the performance, job structure and motivational level of employees(Huczynski and Buchanan, 2009). By taking the above topic into consideration, this presentreport has been prepared on City college and Enterprise. As the case study states, City college isa private college in the North West London and is a part of City plc. Organization has uniquestructure and it is divided into different departments. On the contrary side, Enterprise is a Rent-A-Car company which is one of the largest car hire company in the world. Further, this reportwill focus on comparing different organization structures followed by different ventures and alsoemphasize on factors which influence the individual behaviour at work.TASK 11.1 Different organizational structures and culture of City College and Enterprise Business ventures are generally identified of their responsibilities and relationship whichthey build up with different stakeholders including internal and external. Further, organizationalstructure plays an important role in the development of both the City college and Enterprise. Itconsists of the arrangement of different types of activities which include allocation of tasks andsupervision of employees so that goals and objectives of the venture can be efficiently achieved.City College being a private college in London, has a hierarchical organization structure. Thisshows that it only consists of one layer or two layer apart from the top management (Fischer andHarb, 2005). This is also indeed true as Mr. Wakefield who is the owner of City College has splittheir operations into three departments namely teaching, human resource and administration.On the contrary side, Enterprise Rent-A-Car (Enterprise) follows flat structure wheremanagers divide the work to superiors and superior gives work to subordinates who are workingunder them. This structure has a fix authority as well as responsibility criteria and no employee isover burdened with the work. Each and every organization has their own culture and it differs from one businessenterprise to the other. They have their values, policies and guidelines that makes them differentand venture opts these in order to have a competitive edge over its rivals. As per the Charles1

Handy’s model, there are four types of culture namely power, task, person, role which CityCollege and Enterprise have to take into consideration: Power: City College opts this culture in which main power remains in the hand of Mr.Wakefield and he is the only one who can take major decisions for College developmentand success (Saks and Gruman, 2011). Further, he also delegates responsibilities todifferent departments and each department has to accomplish the set objectives.Person: Person culture is opted by Enterprise as for it, their employees are the key peoplewho will increase their revenue and profits. Apart from taking the back seat, Enterprisewalks together with employees and satisfies their needs as well as demands in an efficientand effective manner.Further, from the view point of Edgar Schein model of organization culture, employees inthe company have to understand the external environment and solve problems accordingly. Theelements of this model are:Artifacts: It shows the characteristics of business organization which are viewed, heardand felt easily by the individuals. City College uses this element as they have a properdress code for the employee who are giving their productive service in the differentdepartments and also have better facilities in the college for students.Values: It shows the value of employees at workplace. Values of employees who areworking in the Enterprise play a crucial role in deciding the organization culture (Luthansand Li, 2005). Further, Enterprise also has several dedicated employees who focus onachieving their individual and organization goals as well as objectives.1.2 Relationship between organizational structure and culture and their effect on organizationalperformanceOrganization structure and culture have a mutualist relationship with one another andmanagement structure creates work culture in the business venture. As discussed above, citycollege has a hierarchical structure where decision making is centralized at the top level. Further,their culture will genuinely affect due to lack of freedom and autonomy at down levels whichresult into bad functioning as well. However, if the organization structure is decentralized as ofthe Enterprise venture, then cultural atmosphere will be more independent and employees will beable to work with the best of their efforts (Hogg and Terry, 2014). 2
