LO1
P1 Culture, Politics and power influence individuals and team behaviour
There are a lot of factors which are influence the performance of an organization like
culture, politics and power which have to be considered so that they can have a better
functioning in market. It is very important for Boots to have a control on these factors so that
they can motivate their employees and make the company give their best in the market.
Handy's cultural model
Charles Handy's gave a cultural model so that the organizations can understand the
organizations culture which would help in the functioning of the organization. There are four
categories which is given by him so that there is a detail understanding which will make the
products and services of Boots more interesting (Larentis, Antonello and Slongo, 2018). This
model was given in 1993 and the four categories are role, person, power and task. The further
report is going to discuss how
 Power
Power distribution is a very important factor in an organization and Boots has a strong
power of delegation of roles and responsibilities in organization so that they can achieve their
1

objectives and goals from time to time. Individuals of a business will have a great influence on
the working of the company in market and also the team work so that the organization can
function better and effectively so that they can have a competitive advantage. Power has to be
distributed between few people so that the functioning of the organization can be in one direction
and will make the company function effectively and efficiently.
 Role
Roles have to be distributed in the organization properly so that there is a sense of
direction which can be given to all and there is a fair and equality in organization. It is very
important to have a healthy environment in the organization because that will help in the
productivity and quality of services and products. Roles should be given to those who are
interested to make the organization achieve their objectives and personal goals with that but not
to those who are interested in just personal objectives.
 Task
Tasks have to be allotted to the people properly so that they can have a better functioning
for a long run in the market. It is very important for Boots to have a well distributed task which
they must do so that there is a clarity of work and this will help the company to have a smooth
functioning (Qiu, Leavitt and Shapiro, 2019).
 Person
There are a lot of experienced employees in the company and it is very important for the
company to have a better functioning which is only possible when there is a sharing of
knowledge that they have. Employees must know how to work as a team so that they can get the
best of results from it which is going to be very helpful for them. Individuals do make a lot of
difference in the company because they are the backbone of Boots.
Influence of politics
Influence of politics in organization is huge in individuals and team behaviour of the
company. Politics can be used in positive and negative aspect of the company which is going to
make a great influence in the company which has to be under control of the company so that the
organization can have a better functioning for themselves. There are a lot of people who do not
give their best but find other ways so that they can find personal success without doing work
which is going to effect Boots in negative manner which is a very bad impact for the long run of
the company (Wiesenfeld and et.al., 2017). The productivity slows down and the organization is
