In simplewords Organisational Behaviour can be described as the study of interaction between humanbehaviour and the organisation in which he or she is working (McKenna,2012).A David and Co limited is a private company which provides production and distributionof fruits as well as vegetables. The company deceivers’ fresh products to its customerssuccessfully with the help of a well organised team and staff. In this study we will learn theimportance of Organisation behaviour in medium size organisation as A David and Co limited.Task 1Influence of Culture, Power and Politics in an Organisation and its employee behaviour.As we all know man-kind has struggled between balancing culture, power and politics sincelong. These factors have also entered into the workplace of the organisation. The employees haveto worry about a lot of other things than just completing the tasks assigned to them. Theorganisational culture, power and politics is governing the atmosphere within the organisation(Robbins,2016). These factors are also affecting the behaviour of each and individual as wellteam working within the organisation. As human behaviour is greatly affected by the atmosphereit is surrounded with. This is easy to study the impacts of culture, power and politics on theorganisational behaviour if we analyse them separately.Culture – Culture plays an important role in the behaviour of employees working in anorganisation (Doherty,2016). People having different values and beliefs works together inan organisation. This can create disputes and conflicts among them by the change inbehaviour of the employees among each other (Cole,2013). Culture of the company canbe discussed with the help of Handy cultural typology which comprise power, role, taskand person culture. Role culture of organisation is reflected by delegation ofresponsibilities whereas task culture of company is based on individual work andexpertise on the basis of business problems and objectives. Further, there is personculture which is based on individual working capabilities as per business environment.On the other hand, there is power culture which depicts control which is in hands ofperson with centralised authority. A David Co. Limited follows person culture which1

aim at managing individual performance and working capability. The culture helps thefirm in managing positive work place environment. Person culture in organisation helpsin managing coordination and cooperation in team behaviour and also aid increasingindividual productivity. Politics – The politics after ruining many people's lives has also entered the workingplace. The people who are not willing to work hard in an organisation but needs to securehis or her place in the organisation starts playing dirty politics within the organisation(Aswathappa and Reddy,2010). Political within workplace is based on four factors that ispersonal, decisional and structural. Person politics in an organisation is based individualconflicts among employees which creates negativity in environment. Further, there isdecisional politics which generally occur due to centralised or biased decision-makingprocess of firm. However, structural politics in an organisation is due to tall structurewhere employee are unable to disclose their concern directly to top level management(Leach,2010). A David Co. Limited suffers through decisional politics which happens dto changes in business environment. In accordance with this situation firm aim at makingrandom changes to meet customer satisfaction but the continuous changes in operationimpacts individual employee morale which leads to biases decision making. Decisionalpolitics impact team behaviour because impact on individual performance is a barrier toteam coordination and cooperation. Power – The power is a component which have a direct impact on the human behaviourwithin the organisation. Sometimes the people who has a power of decision making getspartial among the employees. Influence of Power can be determined with the help ofFrench and Raven model which has who has segregated power in 4 types that islegitimate, reward, coercive and referent. In A David and Co limited, legitimate is inhands of management which is focused on employee performance and customersatisfaction. Further, referent power refers to controlled access of functions which is inhands of leader where individuals ensure employees motivation. Further, coercive poweris for employees protection against wrong doing which is managed by leading personwhere the person aim at solving problems at own level.
