INTRODUCTION
Organizational behaviour offers insight into how workers handle themselves and succeed in
the workforce. It allows us to gain an awareness of the things that can inspire workers, improve
their efficiency and help companies establish a positive and trusting relationship with the
workers. Organizing can be defined as such a procedure that is carried out by any company firm
for the intent of reaching own goals or targets in a smooth manner (Abdulrab And et.al., 2018). It
is the method of maintaining a healthy partnership between departments through the correct
means of communication so that the staff (employees) of each department can contribute their
hundred per cent to the achievement of the desired goals. For the better understanding of this
concept, report selects the Tesco Plc which is UK based multinational retail company.
This assignment covers several topics such as different leadership behaviour theories and
relate with the work place relation. In addition, it includes the analysis of characteristics of
organizational structure. It also influences the culture of organization which affects the
efficiency.
MAIN BODY
TASK 1
Characteristics of different organizational structures
Organizational structure of the enterprise defines strategies of business operations. They
may compare systems, analyze weaknesses and recognise strengths by examining the various
features of the organization and deciding how it is structured. Having a review helps you to make
improvements to the structure of the company to enhance efficiency. There are some different
characteristics of organizational structure which required considering by the management of
Tesco. Some of them are as follow:
Classification: For example, the organization has managers in charge of sales, logistics,
customer support and finances and is efficiently structured. The corporation has a product or
market based organisation whether it has supervisors responsible for the goods or regional
regions. Matrix structure explains when the managers of Tesco responsible for activities or
particular tasks and workers report to one boss for the job output and to some for training,
compensation and promotion. Each kind of structure has weaknesses and strengths.

Coordination: Structured organization has various functional, regional or product lines. It
will develop poor inter-employee cooperation as the managers concentrate on their own areas of
responsibility. Managers of Tesco within the organization can conduct similar marketing
strategies for different goods, leading to duplication. Cross-purpose is the manager's responsible
for the various functions which they have to operate. Matrix companies have greater teamwork,
when the same group of workers conduct the job and the roles.
Control: Organizational frameworks focused on tasks, territorial regions or goods get a high
amount of control about what the workers do and how they perform the job. Such systems are
hierarchies in which managers delegate power and are liable for performance. Matrix companies,
based on the problem at hand, have limited rates of supervision when an individual reports to
two supervisors. For companies operating in highly controlled industries such as financial
services, retail sector or health care, a high degree of control is essential.
Flexibility: System entities in due to changes in the operating climate have greater
versatility. If organizations with a hierarchical framework face unforeseen challenges, the
judgments must be taken by top-level administrators isolated from the work-level. If they do not
have thorough understanding of the modified situation, they might not be unable to make the
wrong choice or they might not (Amado and Amato, 2018). The boss who takes the judgments
works together with the plan or task community in matrix organisations. An overview of the
organizational structure will concentrate on the market environment in view of the adaptive
approach to new situations. Tesco is the organization which follows hierarchy structure and faces
several difficulties because; only high authority has power to take decisions.
Above discussed characteristics required to analyse by the business and make sure that it
will work accordingly to improve their operational efficiency as well as effectiveness. Before
making any decisions, manager of Tesco should consider this characteristic and evaluate in well
manner.
Explanation of how the culture of an organization can impact on the effectiveness of the
organization
Organizational culture is a pattern of common values and principles that help employees
to understand the workings environment of an organization. Culture is better understood as a
cognitive phenomenon, that it refers to as 'simple theories,' that leaders of an organization learn
how to solve their external adjustment and internal integration challenges and are considered
