PART A
TASK 1
P1 How organizational culture, politics and power impact individual and team performance
An organization can be described as a setup where different people collectively work together in
order to achieve a common objective. It is necessary for employee to work collectively with each
other and deliver their best in accomplishing pre-defined target within the given time. Every
company is having certain principles and belief that form their culture and on the basis of that
culture company decide the manner in which personnel amongst themselves and with other
external parties. The culture of each entity vary from one another. It is essential for employees to
adjust them self as per the cultures and policies of respective business entity.
Handy typology: The theory was proposed by Charles Handy in 1999. In his theory, he
describes that organization are much similar to countries as each one is having its own culture
expectation, beliefs and common values. However, these are likely to be changed with the
passage of time. Therefore it is important for company to change their culture as per market
trend. Handy describe the class of culture into four main categories that are mentioned below:
Power Culture: He explain Power cultured as a spider web i.e. all important person who takes
majority of decision on the behalf of company sits in the middle. There are few companies in
which power remain in the hand of some special people and only they are authorizes to take
majority of decision. In fact they enjoy special privilege at work surrounding. In such type of
culture, subordinate are left with no other option rather than following the instruction given by
their superior. In fact the employees does not have any liberty to express their views and ideas in
open forum. Their role is to follow what their superior is saying. In BBC there are few people
who hold such kind of power or authority and they are normally judged on the basis of
achievement instead of their performance (Ayyagari, Grover and Purvis, 2011).
Role culture: under this type of culture rules and responsibilities are given to employees on the
basis of their interest, skills, specialization and knowledge so as to extract best out of them. It has
been believe that each and every person is responsible for doing something great and
organizational culture promotes willingness of people to accept challenges and react accordingly.
In case of BBC employees are well aware of their roles and responsibilities which help them in a
accomplishing predefined task in a cost effective and timely manner
