INTRODUCTION
In the functioning of a business entity, organisational behaviour is considered as key
approach which helps in understanding key aspects of organisational working. In order to
effectively manage all key functions of the organisation, it is essential to focus on understanding
organisational behaviour in a precise and systematic manner (Abdulmuhsin, Zaker, and Asad,
2021). All major companies which are belonging to international and national marketplace
should focus on understanding organisational behaviour in order to move ahead of competitors.
This project will cover example of Sainsbury's company in order to understand key aspects of
organisational behaviour in a well defined manner. Sainsbury's organisation is a supermarket
chain which belongs to United Kingdom and was established in the year 1869. The project will
cover key aspects of impact of politics, culture and power on the nature of team and
organisational context. This report will cover the way motivational theories helps in achievement
of key chances of getting desired success. This project will also cover development of effective
team opposite to ineffective teams. This project will mainly include various philosophies and
concepts of company behaviour in relation to a particular situation.

TASK 1
P1 Description and analysis of the different ways through which power, politics and culture
impact on team and individual behaviour
Most of the business organisations consider and formulate effective techniques that are
helpful in development of effective individual and group behaviour. The companies focus on
evaluating key factors that are providing assistance in development of culture. The major
influence of all factors is explained below:
 Culture- The culture of the organisation is a key factor which impacts on its working in
the corporate world. In the Sainsbury's company, it is ethical duty of human resource
management to determine and develop focused culture which is helpful in increasing
chances of systematic growth (Anagnostopoulos, and Papadimitriou, 2017). This project
concludes that in order to dominate the marketplace there is need for implementation of
best practices related to culture. The positive development of culture leads to increase
chances of positivity in organisation and makes employees happy. If the organisation is
practising negative culture then it will impact negatively on all employees, leading to
make an organisation less effective.
 Power- Power is strength and capability of an individual which helps in increasing
domination over others. Power should not be misused by authorities, so that employees
feel more comfortable with respect to their job roles. Management of company should
develop focused policies and plans in relation to power. The power by higher level
authorities of a business is the main reason behind dissatisfaction of employees. If the
organisation wants to achieve positive power based functioning then it must take help of
relaxing environment for the employees.
 Politics- The politics is considered as one of the key factors which impact on all major
employees. Politics is the main reason why employees quit their jobs in a less time
period. Politics is played generally by top level management of a company and it is key
role of a business to facilitate development of positive politics in order to achieve set
targets and goals (Aslam, Azeem, and Saeed, 2021). The unfavoured politics is essential
to eliminated by the management of company so that behaviour and perception of
employees increase accordingly.
