INTRODUCTION
The examination of fundamental components, such as worker action at employment which
has been affected by the job setting, managerial styles, and other operations carried out by the
participants in a corporation, is referred to as organisational actions (Bednár and Ljudvigová,
2020). Boots, one of the top merchandising in the United Kingdom, would be the focus of the
present task. The company is a well-known pharmacy-led health and wellness business. It enjoys
expanding revenues by running more than 2500 outlets around the country. The research would
clarify how organisational environment, authority, and ethics affect person and group conduct
and effectiveness. Additionally, this would explain how motivating approaches and content and
process theories of motivating facilitate successful goal accomplishment. The paper would also
explain what distinguishes an excellent organization from an unproductive one. Finally, this
would define organisational behaviour theories and ideas in the framework of the selected
institution and given enterprise scenario.
PART 1
P1. Analysing how culture, power and politics in Boots influence individual and team behaviour
and performance
The corporate environment has a wide range of variables which can have both beneficial
and detrimental effects on worker efficiency and output. Workers may put in more effort to
increase corporate production efficiency. Following are some strategy principles that pertain in
the setting of Boots to understand how culture, power, and politics affect worker attributes and
performance.
Handy's organisational culture model:
 Power culture: In Boots, a leadership or supervisor who embodies this culture has the
potential to significantly impact team members' and individuals' productivity and conduct
by the appropriate use of their authority to motivate employees and motivate people
(Caputo and Ayoko, 2021).
 Role culture: By assigning tasks and responsibilities to workers based on their levels of
enthusiasm, managers within a company could have a favourable impact on their
productivity and perceptions of them.

 Task culture: Similar to the previous categories of organisational culture, task culture
can have a favourable impact on employee behaviour and effectiveness whenever tasks
are assigned at employment based on a person's talents and efficacy rather than their
outward aspect.
 People culture: With a power culture, a director or supervisor might behave in a way
that enables them to persuade staff to work and produce even more effectively than in
recent weeks or decades.
French and Raven power model-
 Legitimate power: This type of power originates from an individual's particular role
inside a corporation. In the instance of Boots, the leadership could make good usage of
their influence by giving everyone guidance so that they can finish their assignment on
schedule. It might result in an improvement in both group and personal performance
(Erthal and Marques, 2018).
 Referent power: Leaders can improve workers' productivity and conduct by exploiting
their capacity to persuade individuals to stick with their branding and working for them
continuously. This includes making commitments to put in more days when the pressure
is high.
 Expertise- When a supervisor or management shares their knowledge of how changes in
the business affect how they operate and meet goals, they could raise employee
enthusiasm and enable more efficient employment.
 Reward power: How this power is used depends on how executives and managers view
it. For instance, rewarding employees for their efforts through rewards and bonuses may
have a favourable impact on staff efficiency.
 Coercive power: In accordance with this power, if a manager uses discipline as a method
of getting things done quickly, they risk creating a hostile working atmosphere in which
no one wants to perform for Boots. When the senior managerial hierarchy is changed, it
could occur.
 Information power: After the managerial changes has already been organised, it is
crucial to communicate pertinent data to all of Boots' workers. It might enable the
leadership to boost people's output and enable them to remain competing as usually
(Gulzar and ZIA-UR-REHMAN, 2021).
