LO 1
P1. Organisational Culture, power and politics which can persuade the behaviour of the
employees at the workplace.
The organisation action is an examination and application of skills about how
employees act within the organisation. It acts as tool for the benefits for the human resources at
the workplace. In the other words, it can be conducted that it is a study of what an individual
feel s and does in and out of the organisation whether in the term or in the individual projects. .
In the context of Apple, the organisation work culture, power and politics are interdependent on
each another which influences the behaviour of the worker in the organisation.
Organisation culture: it is system of shared anticipate, beliefs & values which tell how
employees acts in the organisation. Every organisation has a unique work culture which gives
guidance to its employees to behave in certain way so that image of the organisation be capable
power, politics and of be achieved within the set time period. The shared beliefs of the
employees have a strong power to influence the behaviour at the workplace. Handy's model is

implemented into Apple management so see how employee’s behaviour effect the pre-determine
standards of the organisation.
Power culture: under this culture, the administration has some important individuals who have a
influence to make good production conclusion in the management level. The top-level of people
further distribute the roles and duties to their sub-ordinates so that assignment can be finished
in impressive ways. The manager and leader of the Apple make sure that they follow this culture
in their organisation so that activity is finished in the most appropriate ways. Here sub-ordinates
have to follow what their senior have directed and briefs to them so that determine objective
can be accomplished in the long run. (Niven and Boorman, 2016)
Task culture: Here the team of employees who holds the special skills are formed to
solve the critical problem in the organized manner so that activity is finished without any
interference. Under this ,the power is in few individual persons who influence other members of
the organisation so that issues can be dissolve in the most suitable ways. Here small numbers of
group are made who have similarly kind of skills and capabilities required to complete task in
profitable ways.
Person culture: This culture, the worker is more obsessed with their personnel goals
instead of organisation mission and vision. Such kind of employees have a strong point of view
regarding their goals rather than management goals The organisation who exercise such culture
in workplace faces problems on performance bases as human being goals are accomplished
rather of organisation. It types of background ignores the company’s goals and objectives.
(Tharikh Ying and Saad, 2016)
Role culture: Here worker is given with the various task and requirement according to
their skills and facts. Under this culture, workers are concentration on providing their best
inputs at the work location to get the set targets in the effective ways and within the time
structure. The manager of the Apple follows this culture as here workers are more capable of
performing the tasks in the most suitable ways and which lead to completion of task in profitable
manner.(Wang, Fang, Qureshi and Janssen, 2015)
According above discussion, it can be stated that administration culture has a great force on the
behaviour of the member of staff at the workplace. This has different impact on the outcomes of
the organisation as it is interdependent on the performance of the employees.

Organisation power: Here employees are given power to accomplish the task in the
most impressive ways as this power gives proper direction to employees to do the things in better
ways. Every level of the organisation required different types of power to influences the
behaviour of employees to get their best at the workplace. a number of of the authority are
explain as follows:
Reward power: under this authority, staff is given with the rewards for giving their best
performance at the work which can be in the terms of financial and non-money terms. The
fiscal terms include item which holds currency price in the bazaar place such as bonus, another
pay benefits whereas the non-monetary gifts involved vacation packages and shows passes and
etc, such rewards provide a way to boost the inspiration of its worker so that their employment
at their full ability in the organisation. (Bahrami, Barati, 2016)(
Expert power: under such power, senior member who have good knowledge about the
work gives advice to its worker so that task can be completed within the set time frame and is
done in the proper manner. It can also be assured that skill and capabilities are controlling in the
company as their helps in solving the critical issues at the workplace. The expert opinions are
more important in the organisation instead of views of the regular employees.
As per above statement, it can be suggested to the Apple, to use the rewards command in their
management level as it helps in motivation the worker to give continues better performance in
the organisation.
Organisation politics: It is essential for the company to have physical condition political
affairs at the organisation which helps in achieve the score and objectives in the long run. It
provides a path for having the interaction among the employees and with the employers in the
team. In the present condition, every organisation have politics which lead to perform the
various activities in the standard ways.
With the references of Apple, the administrator and leader make sure that there have a proper
culture in their work environment.
M1: The analyse how organisation culture and various other things such as power and policies
have impact on the employees behaviour
The organisation is formed of by its work culture, power and policies so survive in the
target industry for longer period. Organisational culture, power and policies will lead to have

major impact on overall performance of company as well as capabilities of employees to
successfully conduct task. Organisational culture will create environment or structure for
employees to perform business activities as well as power and policies factor which lead to have
direct impact on potential of employees to carry out business task. Such factors have a vast force
on the efficiency of the organisation as these factors are interlinked in the organisation. The
positive impact of such factors is that there is proper hierarchy system in the organisation and
operates with set rules an d regulation which will lead to betterment of the company in the long
run as small objectives are achieved with the proper effectiveness and within the time-frame.
Employees are given roles and responsibilities to complete the task in proper manner and their
opinions are given value and are shared in the management team and get involved into making
sound business decision. The culture of organisation represents set predefined policies which
help employees and provide them a sense of direction at the workplace. The negative impact is
that sometimes worker can be unmotivated in the organisation if their work is not understood in
the team or if their ideas and opinions are not given importance in the management. The politics
at the workplace effect the inputs of the employees which lead to pause in action of the
employees. (Koppes, 2014)
The organisation culture has a huge impact on the performance of the employees in the work
places. The manager has to look after the need of having good organisation culture so that
worker can give their best input in the task. The power and polices also have a huge impact on
the productivity of the organisation as employees behaviours changes according to the work
environment.
LO 2:
P2: What are the context and process theories of motivation in relation to organisation context.
The process can be describe as the path which helps employees to act in certain ways in
the organisation vision are achieved in the most suitable ways and within the time periods. This
theory motivates the employees in the positives ways that will lead to completion of the task of
the organisation align with the operation and visual sense of the company. The process theories
help in examining the behaviours of the workers at the work-related chairs at different times so
relating changes can be done to better the performance of the management team of the Apple.

The Expectancy theory: under this worker are supply with the rewards for their inputs
in the given task in the profitable ways. In the other words, it can be stated that motivation is
the outcomes of self-aware choice which are successful to increase the positive stimulus and
reduces the hurting in the company. This which lead to betterment of the overall performance of
the organisation as employees are granted booty for their superior inputs in the company. This
theory will offer a path to get the wish results by subsequent the goals and objective set by the
top levels of the management team. With the references Apple, The manager follows this theory
in their management system as there is affirmative connection among the employees efforts
with their actual show and such results are to be given rewards so the constant upgrading can be
contributed by the employees, hence increase the profitable and productivity of the organisation
in the long run.
The content theories: under this assumption necessary needs of the workforce at the
work-related places are fulfil which motivates them to perform best in the given task. The
manager of Apple implemented such theory in their management squad so that basic desire of
the workforce are provided to them from time to time and which also make employees feel as a
part of the organisation and stay loyal to the obligation of the company. The top levels of
authorities look after that needs of the employees which help them to finish the task in the
effective ways. The Maslows theory is followed in the company which is explain as follows :
Maslows hierarchy of needs: Under this premise, primary needs of the worker are
provided to the employees so that they feel important for the organisation and also manipulate
the actions of the employees at the workplace. Such needs incudes physiological, social, esteem,
safety and self-actualisation which are to be given to employees to retain them in the system for
the longer time period . The motivation for the employees is fulling such needs in the team for
the long time.(Peltokorpi, Allen and Froese, 2015)
Physiological needs: This need are basic necessary for person survival in the company for the
long run. Such needs involve atmosphere, groceries, water, shelter and clothes which are needed
for living in the organisation and can powerfulness the action of the employees at the work.
Safety needs: here employees are given the awareness of safety and welfare in the
organisation. Such wants involves fiscal security, individual, shield from accident etc. the top
level of management has to provide worker a safe working hours and good conditions, gives

protected pay and job security at the work. So that workforce is encouraged to perform better in
the organisation.
Social needs: employees are provided with the intelligence of belong and receiving at
the workplace. These kinds of needs are important so that workers do not feel alone and isolated
in the administration. The executive looks after that workforce know each other in the team and
encourages them to give their best in the task. Supervisors are also kind and promote good work-
life.
Esteem needs: it mentions the needs self-esteem and self esteem at the activity situation
in the organisation. It is duty of the administrator to appreciate the good job finished by the
employees at the workplace and give praise and credit for their efforts in the given tasks.
Self-actualisation needs under this needs, the employees realise their skills and
knowledge and tries to increase their capabilities in the team. Here employees can know its full
potential and manager can also give them as challenging task and induce them in managerial.
( Gravina Villacorta, 2018)
As per to Apple, the director and leader kind certain that they follow such theory in their
management team so that essential needs of the employee are fulfilled in the time which will
provide to perform better in the organisation.
The manager of the Apple uses different types of theories to improve the productivity of the
employees at the work-related places so that goals and objectives can be achieved in the long
run. According to the above conversation it can be stated that performance of the employees can
be influences by applying the various concept and idea in the company management team. The
expectancy theory will helps in rewarding the workforce for giving their finest in the task and
various activities. Giving rewards for the work done by the employees are beneficial for both
employees as well as employers. The employees gets motivated to execute better in the task and
in coming challenges at the workplace and employers feels motivated as their work is getting
completed in the successful ways and inside the time -frame. Whereas the Maslow theory helps
in fulling the basic necessarily of the employees in the organisation so that they can survive in
the complex work situation and make best use of available store in the organisation so that pre-
determine goal and objectives can be achieved in the long run. Giving rewards and fulling the
basic need leads to point where employees work at their full potential and grow in the
organisation and company are able to receive the mission and vision of organisation by having

effective team and motivated workers for align individual goals with the organisation goals.
These theories are used to motivates employees form time to time to give their best in the each
and every task so that goals can be achieved by the company in the long period with effective
ways.
LO 3:
P3: Explain what does effective team as a opposed to an ineffective team in the organisation.
Team refer as the group of individual who combined and conduct activity together to
attain the common score and objective of the organisation. A squad is formed to achieve a
certain task or the activities in the set producers so that desire outcomes can be achieved by the
end of the task. In every organisation there are different types of team in the management for
completing the task in most suitable manner such team can be classified in effective and
ineffective team in the Apple company. The effective team is a group of people who holds
similarly kind of skills and knowledge which is required to complete the task in the most
effective ways and it also include the open discussion sharing the ideas and beliefs and it also
includes taking advice from the each other for making sound business decision. The
unproductive team is a collection of persons who does not have a ordinary reason and goals in
the organisation which guide to decrease in productivity of the company for longer period of
time. It also tend to have a tense surroundings at the organisation which demotivate the
employee to perform good in the organisation. Under ineffective team, situational leadership is
implemented as different types of management is required in such type of team. With the
references of Apple, the manager make sure that their have a effective team in their management
so task and activities are finished within the time frame and in the effective ways. The manager
also tires to convert ineffective team into effective team as there is less wastage in the
organisation and focus is on achieving the mission and vision of the organisation in the present
as well as for longer period.(Ludwig, 2015

can be chosen by combating
the individual goals and
organisation goals.

top authorises in the team.
According to above discussion, it can be stated that manager and leader must have a effective
team in their management so that goal and mission can be achieve in the productive ways.
M3: explain teh relevant team and group development:
Tuck-man's model is refers to describe the efficiency of the squad and behaviour of its element
in finishing the mission in the correct manner. It include various things such as directing in
original style, given that various teaching and education and creation them contribute at
different task and additive the task in the most impressive ways. In the context of Apple, the
manager uses this model as it give five stage to right-down the task in the most effective ways
and in appreciate ways. The following are the five stages used to absolute the task in the most
suitable ways:

Forming stages: it refers to the situation where employees are depended on its director
and leader for the proper guidance to finish the known employment in the effective ways. Under
this stage, the employees duty and obligation of the workforce are not clearly stated and
communicated to them which will effect the output of the structure for the long run. There
executive has to answer to all the queue about the work conditions and scope of the
organisation.
Storming stages: here various different policies and rules are defined for the team so
that the task and activities are perform in the system of government. Secondly ,here decision
making is difficult as there are various differentiation of estimation among the member of the
team and among the employees and employers of the organisation which further postponement
in the execution of task in the efficient ways. ( McShane and Von Glinow,2015.)
Norming stages: under this stage, workers are provide with various roles and odd jobs so
that task can be started in the team and conclusion can be made by the manager and leader in the
organisation. Such decision can be for implementing the task in the all the levels of the
organisation.
Performing stages: under this stages, all the employees are aware about their part and
responsibilities so that all the employees work in accordance of ordinary goals and objectives of
the government. All the workers are engaged in performing in the better and effective ways so
that vision of the company can be achieved(Rupp,Wright, Aryee and2015)
Adjourning stages: under this stages, the task is ended in the most productive and
successful ways. Here group and small team are dissolve once the task is finished in the
impressive ways and inside the time frame. Further workers are provided with the new projects
and assignment and they get free from liability of the old projects. And all the employees are
given new project in the management and team is dissolved
LO4:
P4: Apply concepts and philosophies of organisation behaviours within an organisation:
The management of human manpower is very essential as well as critical for an manager
as these people are a part of the establishment and helps in achieving the pre-determine modal
of the organisation .with the references of Apple, the manager and leader have to look after the
workforce requirement in the side so that task can be finished in the most effective ways. The

company uses the Path-goals theory which is supported on the specific leadership style or action
that best fits for the worker The major aim is to addition the workforce motivation, authorization,
and contentment so that they become more productive members of the organisation.(Keyvanar ,
Shahpouri 2013)
The path-goals model give a way to influence the behaviour of the workers and style of
the leadership so that goals and objectives can be achieve in effective ways and within the time
frame. This model is for choosing suitable management style and to influences the behaviour of
the employees which are most appropriates for the organisation. under this theory there are
various style such as
The directive path: under this path, the director and leader communicate the employees
what is expected from them and show them a path to perform the task in the most appropriated
ways. The manager looks after that all the employees have a allotted roles and responsibilities
according to the needs of the task so that task can be finished within the time frame.
The achievement-oriented leader: under this approach, the manager and leader gives a
challenges goals to all the workforce and expect them to perform at their maximum level of
performance with the good confidence in their ways and skills to complete the task in the
effective ways.(Wilder, D. Lipschultz, 2018)
The participative leader behaviour: under this stages, the manager and leader take
consulting about the work with the employees and ask for suggestion to attain the set targets and
goals in the most effective ways. Here different facts and estimation about the employees are
taken into mentation at the workplace.
The supportive leader behaviour: Under this stages, employees pleasure in the terms of
basic needs are taken into reflection so that employees work at their full probable at the task and
activities. The good leader will be concerns about the well-being of the workers at the work-
related places and motivate them to achieve good at the activities.
The organisation are focus on using the various type of concepts which helps the employees to
gain the good experience in the work . The employees behaviour at the work place also gets
affected by implementation of different concepts. Under Apple, the director and follower make
sure that they uses different theories and concepts which power the behaviour of the employees
at the workplaces. The organisation should have a effective team in their management team so
that all the employees are responsible for achieving the set targets and subjective of the

organisation in the long run. The manager tries to transfer employees to be in effective team
and give their best in the organisation. The tuck-man's model is used in the management so that
task can be realized in the efficient ways and n the productive ways. Secondly the path-goals
theory is used which helps in influence the behaviour of the worker at the work. The good leader
provide a clear path to its employees so that task can be achieved in the most apposite manner.
Conclusion:
According to above argument, it can be stated that performance of the workforce are gets
effected by various factors in the workplace. The organisation behaviour have a important impact
on the presentation of the company. In the context of Apple., organisation culture, quality and
political relation have a influences on the outcomes of the establishment .the company make
sure that they have a impressive team in their management team and uses tuck-man's model to
completed the task in effective ways.
