Culture - Culture refers to the assumptions, underlying beliefs, values, social andpsychological environment of an organisation. For explaining the impact of culture on individualand team the model used is Charles Handy Model which is explained below:According to Charles Handy model, there are four types of cultures followed by anyorganisation. Power culture- The first culture is the power culture. Here the power remains in hands of afew people only and they are only authorised to take the decisions. These individuals furtherdelegate the responsibilities to the other employees. The employees have no option other thanfollowing their superior's instructions. The employees do not have the option of expressingtheir views and ideas instead they have to obey their employers. This use of power will affectthe employee negatively because employees are not puppets and they wish to work accordingto their comfort. If the employees are not free to express their views then it will lead tointense dissatisfaction and may lead to high labour turnover (Pavalache-Ilie, 2014).If the power is used positively, then the employees will have liberty in working andexpressing their views. This will positively impact the employees because they will feel happy1

It canbe referred to as a team culture where the outcome of the team's work is prioritized overthe individual objectives. As the focus of task culture is to work in a team it positivelyaffects the working of employees. This is so because employees feel good working aspart of team. The coordination between the employees increases and as a result of this theefficiency and productivity of employees increases and the result thereof is improvementin the individual and team’s performance and behaviour.Person culture- In this type of culture individuals are more concerned about themselvesrather than the organisation. Here the employees have complete independence are highlyeducated and can work with their own expertise. The organisation following the personculture is people focused, value oriented and geared towards meeting the individualemployee's self-actualization needs. This culture helps employees to meet their personalgoals and to grow on personal level.Power- It is the capacity of a person to affect the behaviour of the subordinates. The power has avery close link with the performance and behaviour of the individual and the team. It is evidentwith help of the model Five Forms of power by French and Raven which is explained below:Coercive power- It is based on the idea of coercion which means that employees areforced to do work against their will (De Board, 2014).
