this project report there is various kind of model as well philosophies of organisational behaviour
which considered by company to maintain good relations with employees (Creed, 2011). Also,
comprises different motivational theories which is used by organisation to enhance employee’s
performance in organisation.
TASK 1
A) Handy Cultural Typology
This model states that how employees will perform their task at workplace which is based
on their skills and capabilities. As there are many workers in organisation who are trying to do
their best in order to attain goals and objectives. There are numerous scholars who has given
various theories in regard to understand the behaviour of employees so that entity can delegate
some roles and power to them (Aronowitz, 2016). This theory of culture model has been
explained in context of BBC Company. As this contain four parts i.e. task, role, power and
person.
Power culture – There are several type of organisations where powers and authorities
are delegated to few number of person. As they are highly centralisation but they do not delegate
1

their power to anyone. This type of culture is to be considered as strong because it will help to
organisation to take fast decision for the benefit of their employees.
Person culture – Here people are considering themselves above as compare with
organisation reputation. As there are many entities who are following this structure and due to
this they are suffering from large amount of losses and creating conflicts among them. So, it
becomes major responsibility of manager to make positive relation with employees so that they
can easily engaged with organisation goals and objectives.
Task culture – In this type of culture teams are formed for a particular period for
attaining specific goals of company. Here teams are made on the basis skills and capabilities of
2

employees so that any conflicts will not arise among them. Along with this, all team members
are making equal contribution for accomplishing with the aims of company.
Role culture – This culture is likely to be considered as important among four of them.
In this, employees are getting own roles and responsibilities which has to be performed by them.
These are based on the abilities and skills of people who are working in organisation (Baumeister
and Masicampo, 2010). With the help of this employees also get opportunity to give their best
and take best decision for enhancing the productivity. Moreover, it is also to beneficial for
organisation to retain employees for a longer period of time.

As in BBC Company, mainly role and task cultural are employed with that because it
allows because allows them to smooth run their functions and complete the task in effective and
creative way. Along with this, it will also help to organisation to maintain healthy relations with
employees.
B) How power, culture and politics is affecting the behaviour of BBC
In the 1970's, Dr. Geert Hofstede wanted to know that whether we can understand the cultural
difference or not. He just wanted to know if we can learn, then through mistakes or training we
can learn. If it is learning through training than what could be the guidelines to understand that?
Whether clear classes or hierarchies is involved in learning process.
What were the things followed by Labeled Hofstede's in Five dimensions of culture?
Understanding those five dimensions helps you not only to get the cultures of others, even it
helps you to get your own culture in a new way.
Hofstede spend a decade (10 years) on researching over a single global company and
interviewed their employees. He collected the cultural data from more than 40 countries and he
founded four clear lines for his four dimensions. Later on he added the fifth one too. After this he
rated each country within the scale of 0 to 100, so that he can create a place in each dimension. If
the society is higher in rating from. Then particular dimension is displayed in that society.
