of individual and teams positively, in term of using their power ethically to reward them and
enhance their motivational level (Shah and et.al, 2021).
Role culture-
With this type of culture, management with organization may positively influence
performance and attribute to employees, in term of delegating roles and accountabilities on the
basis of their interest level (Nasaireh, 2020).
Task culture-

Just like above types of organizational culture, it may also influence workers
performance and actions in positive manner, when task is allotted at workplace on the basis of
skills and efficiency of individuals, instead of considering their physical appearance (Bychkova
and Belyaeva, 2021).
People culture-
With power culture, leader and manager may act in such a manner, which made them
capable to influence employees in term of increasing their performance and productivity extent,

French and Raven model of power-
Legitimate power-
This kind of power comes from specific position of person in a company. In case of
Boots, leader may use their power in positive manner in term of providing direction to all to
complete their work on time. It may lead to increase the productivity of team and individual.
