TASK 1
P1 Effect of organisational behaviour on organisational culture, power and political behaviour of
managers
Organisational culture includes the rules, vision, mission and policies which are made by
the managers for following by the employees so that the organisational goals will be achieved in
a structured manner. With the help of this, the employees who are working within the firm their
efficiency and productivity will be improved and they performs better on the given task.
Whereas, some kinds of elements such as power and political behaviour of employees can
influences on the productivity of firm. For overcoming the influences, HR manager of A David
& company Limited can implement an effective organisational culture through which they can
easily improve the performance level of their employees. In order to getting better contribution
from their employees (Barry, 2016). HR manager of cited firm can use Handy's typology theory
which helps them in implementing an effective organisational culture. The theory of
organisational culture is briefly discussed by as under:
Power culture : Under this, power is given to the specific persons within the firm for
making decisions so that the betterment of firm can be possible. Such type of persons has
authority to make quick decisions without getting interference of any staff member in the
decision-making process. In the context of David & Co., the power of taking decision is in the
hand of manager and BOD. There decision might effect the union/team where they don't want to

relate themselves with the organisation. Power culture will demotivate the individual staff who
are at lower position where they will not be able to do work as per their choice.
Role culture : In this, the HR manager has responsibility to communicate roles and
duties to their employees as per their skills and capabilities. So that, their maximum effort can be
gained by them for achieving organisational goals. In terms of David & Co., HR manager need
to distribute the roles and responsibility to each team and even every individual too, according to
there strength and weaknesses. This will help them to work at there optimum level and in result
company can achieve their desire goals on time.
Task culture – In this, the HR manager evaluate the performance level of their staff
member. For this, they divide the teams for completing a desired task. In the given case of cited
firm, HR manager need to evaluate the task which were given to individual and team. This will
help them to calculate what kind of result can be achieve from there working capacity. It will
motivate team and every single staff because top level management wants to interact with them.
Person culture – It provides assistance to the managers for focusing on capabilities of
staff members. For this, they provide them opportunities so that their capabilities can be
recognised by them. In the case of David & Co., their HR manager should adopt this culture
because it will build confidence level and morale in employees which will be helpful for getting
competitive advantage in the market (Chung, 2015).
Hofstede's cultural dimensions – Geer Hofstede provides regional and national factors which
contributes in the culture of a firm and influences on the employee's behaviour in a firm. They
were provided five factors which can influences on the culture of workplace are given as under:
 Masculinity vs Feminity- This is an influence of variation in values of genders on the
basis of organisational culture. As the male employees are higher then the female
employees in the David and company limited due to which female employees of
organisation are not so aggressive in performing their duties.
 Individualism and collectivism- It defines the strength of the ties which binds the
employees within a team. Management of cited firm strongly rely on teamwork to
perform most of the tasks of firm because it also helps them in gaining better ideas for
completing a given task.
