INTRODUCTION Organizational behavior is that area of HRM which is concerned with understanding theeffects of individual groups as well as structure on the behavior exhibited by employees in anybusiness setting. This area of HRM is very essential so as to motivate the employees in bestpossible manner and enhance the overall performance of the company (Farokhi and Murty,2014). Current study has thus made an attempt to focus on activities related to organizationalbehavior within 2m Group Limited which is headquarter in UK and is involved in chemicaldistribution as well as related services such as sample management, storage and blending amongothers (2M Holdings Ltd, 2018). Focus of the report has been on how culture, power and politicsand how it impacts the behavior within the company. Emphasis is further on the concept ofmotivation, leadership as well team work that exists within the firm followed by assessing theirimpacts on work relations that exist in the company. TASK 1P1 Analyze how culture, power and politics overall have affected individual and teambehavior within 2m group limited There is a huge influence of culture, power as well as politics on the overall behavior within 2mholding limited.Influence of culture and power The company has a presence of role culture due to the nature of work as dealing with chemicalsrequires control and complete awareness of roles and regulations which further gives power to aperson who holds important positions. In this respect, in order to improve the overallperformance the need is that management is required to have an awareness of cultural differencesthat exist between employees so as to manage them in best possible manner (Zhang and Deng,2016). Hence there can further be an application of hofstede theory so as to aid in cross culturalcommunication. This is as the present firm has a presence of employees from differentbackground hence the need is to understand how their cultural upbringing puts an impact on theorganizational behavior (Spagnoli and Caetano, 2012). For example, employees who have beenborn and brought up in US culture may wish to freely share information with supervisors andalso wish to give inputs due to presence of low power distance. They may thrive to deliver high3
performance and competiveness on account of high masculinity followed by acceptance towardsnovel ideas and innovation on account of being low on uncertainty avoidance. Hence adheringwith the points mentioned in hofstede framework is likely to aid the management in getting ageneral overview about the cultural practices and ethos of employees and what the staff membersexpect from the management with respect to behavior. Decisions can then be taken by themanager on account of customs and values followed in a nation. The dimensions can furtheroffer guidelines for developing leadership approach which are acceptable on cultural grounds. Influence of politicsThere is further a presence of organizational politics in the company that puts an impact on thebehavior of employees. This may basically show its effect when organizational or structuralchange take place in the firm such as new management or reorganisation of the structure amongothers. This can put an impact on the personal relations that exist in the employees as well asdecision take by the ones who play politics (Henriques, 2016). For example, on account ofleadership change, manager of the chemical group may try to maintain close relations with CEOso as to get promoted to a better position. In the same manner, power relations also exist withinthe organization but seeing the nature of working, expert and legitimate power exists within theorganization which is based on expertise as well as formal right of the person within theorganization respectively (Andersen and Kragh, 2015). However, in order to aid in improvedperformance of employees there can be use of reward power within organisation where theemployees should be rewarded in case they perform exceptional work. M1 Critically analyze how the culture, politics and power of 2m Group Limited caninfluence individual and team behavior and performance The existence of culture, power and politics within 2M has an impact on individual and teambehavior. This is as if the supervisors show high power distance with US employees then theremay be a presence of increased demotivation in the employees while reducing the power distancemay make them feel a bit free. But it is also true that this strategy may work well with employeesfrom China as they are accustomed to high power relations. Hence the need here is that themanagement must understand the cultural upbringing of the person so as to enhance the overallperformance of teams as well as employees (Smollan and Pio, 2017). This is quite essentialwithin 2M as it deals with chemicals hence coordination, communication and team performanceis a must so as to make the operations safe and productive ones. Politics that exist within 2m4
