TASK 1
P1: Analyse the organisation culture, power and politics impact on team and individual
performance & behaviour
Organisation politics, power and culture are affecting individual and team behaviour that has a
both positive and negative impact on the organisational functioning.
Influence of culture:
Classifications of culture: (power, role, task and person:
Organisation is place where employees are coming together to achieve a common laid down
objectives. There is close coordination so that employees can deliver best results. There are
four basic types of culture in TESCO as mentioned below:
Power culture: In this type of culture power is vested in hands of few people and they are
authorized to take decisions. They are enjoying special privilege at workplace. They can
further delegate responsibilities.
Task culture: In this organisations are forming teams to achieve specified targets and dealing
with critical problems. Individuals with specialisations and common interests are forming a
team. This culture is adopted by TSCO in situations of achievement of some short term goals
where teams are formed and each member has to make equal contribution towards
accomplishment of tasks (Wood and et.al 2016)
Person culture: In certain cultures employees may feel that they are very important or the
organisation. There is loyalty towards the management and organisation.

Role culture: It is a culture where each employee is delegating with responsibilities and roles
according to specialisation, interest and their education qualification.
Cultural-difference awareness
Hofstede’s dimensions of culture theory:
Hofstede’s dimensions of culture theory is developed by Geert Hofstede that is understand the
differences across cultures and countries. It is a framework that is adopted to differentiate
between national cultures and asses its impact on business.
(Source: Hofstede’s culture theory, 2017)
There are five categories of culture as mentioned below:
Power distance index: It is extent to which power and inequality are tolerated. High power index
indicates culture is accepting power differences and encouraging bureaucracy. Low power
distance index indicates that there is encouragement of organisational structure that are
decentralized and flat according to decision making (Rhoden, 2016).
