LO1
Influence of culture, Politics and Power on the behaviour of others
LG plays significant role in developing organization with proper culture with
minimization of Politics and power and give more autonomy to workers and understand their
problems and resolve quickly (Chan, 2019).
Influence of Cultures on others (Handy's Model)
Handy define 4 different type of culture, namely Power, Role, Task and Person. And the
way in which they influence organization performance and impact on its growth.
Power Culture
Power culture one of the influential culture and in this culture power is limited in the
hand within few superiors and their influence is on everyone in the organization. Decision are
quickly made and address using this culture and in this achievement of employees are more
important compare to the way in way they achieve ( Beekhof, 2016). LG cannot use this culture

as it will stop innovation and creativity of employees which are the basic foundation of growth of
the firm. It increased tension between team and hence efficiency, quality and productivity of the
workers.
Role Culture
This type of culture emphasizes on rules rather than power. Everyone is the firm high
controlled by some sets of rules that are defined their duty related to different task. In this power
of the person denoted by his role or rank in the firm structure. It is built by detailed company
structure and follow hierarchy with different kinds of instructions that are commanded by role of
the person (Kompaniiets, 2019). Decision making in such kind of culture is slow and hence
impact on performance of the organization and also company not willing to take high risk which
is important in global world. It is more of bureaucratic in nature.
Task Culture

culture. Task is one of the primary concern in such culture and hence power can be shifted to
person according to need. Skills, personalities and leadership plays important role in
effectiveness of the culture. LG can use this culture and influence leadership in the firm
effectively and workers remains committed to work and hence higher goals can be achieved
using it.
Person Culture
In this individual emphasize on achieve his goals rather than focus on combine effort and
consider unique and superior to the firm. In this company only exist in order for employees to
perform their duty.
Politics
Politics plays important role in growth of the organization and or can say a company with
good politics achieve higher goals on time while in bad politics, there are very few chances of
individual's growth and company performance hampered.Politics impact on individual behaviour
in negative way.
Good Politics
Good politics give equal chance to all in the organization and hence contribute in growth
of the firm. In this power is distributed between all in right manner and every person in the
company can get equal chances of growth rather than focused on particular. Suggestion and
