to improve the working condition of employees. The well established business plans helps in
making the business successful. The cultural environment of an organisation helps to engage the
more employees in promoting brand values along with satisfaction among the employees.

the given specific task to be performed in specified period. Every task are to be performed by
group of employees in order to achieve organisational goal. A different set of people who are
skilled in their core areas and has to complete the assigned work.
Person Culture
In this kind of cultural environment, all individuals are engaged for completion of given set of
task in the organisation(Przybylowsk., 2021). They are free to express their thoughts and views
which helps to make decision for the organisation. It helps to interact with different personalities

execute the work and guiding all the employees from lower authority to superior, all motivates
the working culture to achieve common objective. Power id decided on the basis of experience,
qualification, quality of the work performed by the employees to achieve the organisational
behaviour.
Legitimate Power

people who contributes in making successful implementation of polices and plans. These
strategies strengthen the financial position of the business due to effective and transparent
mechanism which are not only helps in growth and development of company but also ensures

Rewarded Power
Some of the main areas and the ways in which the rewards in the effective nature. This
evaluates and manages the growth through which the employees are highly being motivated and
drawn towards growth and success this is majorly being done in order to maintain the growth and
also to implies all the rewarding nature and working.
Coercive power

It implies to manage the capability of all the managers with which they try to utilise all
such commands ibn working and also maintain the threat of punishments. This considers to have
the short term cooperation and this will not give any positive result through which any
employees will be demotivated.
Referent power
It involves all such areas in which the ability to manage and drive are being taken and
this will help in evolving all the manpower for the aspect of the managers. This is generally
being undertaken on the basis of the individual’s whop are mainly trying to analyse and attract
all the workforce and also help in managing and attracting the contrary effects for the general
structure and development. This develops and manage organisational goals and objectives this

expertise. This manage all the growth and the functions with which all the goals, targets and the
objectives are being taken. Some of the main power which is being undertaken is by all such
rapid areas and the outcomes through which the advantages and the values of the effectual modes
are being taken. This comprise of all such expertise and the ways to overcome the challenges and
the matters(Svagzdiene., 2018). The manager of Morrison’s leads to maintain the role and
eventually tries to draw all such power with which they grow and manage the proper function
and the generality. There is been given that all such areas and the ways through which the
employees will be skilled and it maintain the legal mature and functions. This manatee and
implement the structure and functions. It covers the prominent areas and the management
through complex situations efficacious and also top manage through prominent behaviour. And
theses expertise will undergo to make the company to develop their growth and eventually
personal identification and functions.
Politics :
The chain of operations in which the individuals interact with each other by using their
strength and ability . In this organisation can have both side positive or the negative and it has
distinctive sort of activities such as communication , malleability in holidays and many more .

The partial behaviour is incorporated in the coloured mode of acting for having the optimistic
work policy behaviour to get the desired and wanted result of a work . By using and
incorporation of these it adds the favourable and wanted profession in the organisation to
maintain the healthy bond and relationship in a work and between workers .
Thus , the discussion about the favourable organisation regarding in terms of rewards,
power and inclining of motivation for the both terms whether monetary or non finance edge .
M1 evaluate how the culture , politics and power of a business can affect the individual
behaviour of individual performance .
In a business the each and every individual behaviour is impacted by member units ,
culture ,power which can be positive and negative . With regards of Morrisons if the authority
tend to bring amends and equality and bring the optimistic changes and tries to neglect politics
through this they can achieve there organisation objects and aims . While it also has an edge
where the employee will stay in the organisation for a longer periods of time while on the
contrary if there is high degree of politics and exploitation and misuse of the innocence it became
difficult for employee to stay for a long duration and makes the organisation surrounding
negative it declines the number of employee, the operations work , and equity and income gets
decline at huge margin.
P2 how the content and process the explanation of motivation and the psychological playing the
alternative in efficient achievement in organisation
In personal and professional life the motivation has the crucial and necessary role to
functions(Mielke., 2020).The business leaders and managers has adopted different sort of
theories and approach for making and sustaining the positive surrounding for their employee .
These approaches are mentioned below to maintain the structure .
Content theory of motivation :
ERG motivation theory:
This approach and theory came by Clayton p .alder fer . This theory concludes the the all
five five hierarchy into three category that are relentlessness , existence and growth .
Existence needs : As a word suggests the desire is to have basic necessity to survive such as
food , clothing and shelter . In context of Morrison the managers or the organisation leaders

should focus on providing the funds for instance rewards , bonus to add in their productivity
level.
Relatedness theory : In this theory the workers emphasis on the esteem and socially in the form
of collaboration from their peers and family members . This can done in the unofficial and casual
parties in front of mass people which will enhance the motivation of individuals . It is essential to
have the optimistic relationship between the employees and individual this sort of business has
the hostile co workers which contributes in any sort of grievances and the labour turnover
values .
Growth needs : In this the member has the only concentration their own development in the
context to Morrisons it has given the efficient training and development to their employees to
this they can do best in their work and this will also increase the organisation growth in the
market (Zhou.,2021) . For this reason it is necessary for the organisation to invest in motivation
then only the aim and objectives can be achieved positively . The result is to feel encouraged
from their outcomes and motivated by the others or by the self realisation too .
Process theory of motivation -
The equity theory :
John Stacy Adam is the founder of this theory . It can be defined where the each and
every individual should be treated in a fair and unbiased way as well as it also motivates the
others to do this activity . With regards to Morrison they has given the equal chances to the every
worker to outshine and growth their abilities and capabilities . This theory of respective is based
on the ratio of their performance which is done by employee and the result of their productivity .
There is a underlying values and rewards for motivating the co workers . There is also an edge
by providing the funds , bonus compensation to their business staff gives the advantage from
their rivals .
M2 analyse and evaluate the behaviour of others by using the behaviour motivation theories and
models .
The organisation has undertaken the two approaches or the theories erg motivation and
Adam equity theory for helping in improving and changes in positive working environment
which leads to skyrocket motivation level in the workers . By taking the erg the Morrisons the
organisation was able to capture the requirement , demand and understand what there workers
want and build their planning accordingly . While the other theory Adam equity is more about

treating the each and every individual equally which assists them to be motivated and fulfilled .
By considering and implementing both the theories the organisation was able to boost their
performance and maintained the sanity in the working environment . Thus the productivity of
these models for company has levelled off and their revenue system has shown the inclination in
the market place .
D1 evaluate the bond of culture , power and motivation critically which helps the team and
organisation in success by giving the recommendations .
In the business organisation the each and every individual and worker has to perform and
execute the certain components which amends the planning of politics , culture and power
through this they are able to enhance and develop their workers productivity level structurally .
So the leaders of Morrisons are towards the politics and not proper utilisation of the worker
ability this will hit the working environment and workplace will be unfavourable place to work
as the unprofessionally will penetrate(Balaji., 2021). This also decline the working capacity of
the employee . While if the managers focal point is towards the positivity and less politics the
workplace will the flow of optimistic energy and the productivity level of the employees will be
enhance and activity wont be the toxic moreover it will became a n interesting work to do .
P3 justify the efficient and effectuation squad which works in opposing the ineffective unit .
The squad is creates when the individuals has the similar taste , preference sand attitude
to work in collaboration and achieve the desired results . The major and essential role worker life
is the team play to achieve the work positively(Majkut., 2021). The major duty of any industry is
to come up with efficient blue print and attributes to make the team which focuses on the goals
and aims . Here is the distinctive classification which makes the effective and ineffective differ.
Basis Effective team Ineffective team
Explanation The major work for any
organisation is make the
efficient teams which includes
the two or the more people
which work collaboratively to
achieve the desired results.
In this team the members are
those who does not get along
and mix well moreover they
don't have the desired results
to perform the operations .
Certain individuals posses
those skills but in different

group and the others squad has
to go through the suffering as
they lack in proper training .
Implicit objectives In this team the work and
project are highly appreciated
in a proper structured form and
the recognisable is well given
In this verifiable and
appreciation is not given in a
proper form, or sometimes
vague and the trouble is
always there in giving
recognisable .
Member contribution In this a lot treatment is taken
place in which the individual
takes place and gain a lot of
learning
In this team the insignificant
people takes treatment and
others gets unnoticed and there
is no point of view .
Battle Declaration In this the proper discussion
takes is occurred and struggle
is not avoided
In this ineffective team the
discussion does not takes place
properly and efficiently is
negligee sometimes it also
occurs the rivalry and which is
unresolved .
In in the regards of Morrisons the effective team is required to gain the content and verifiable
proposition.
M3 Analyze applicable squad and abstraction improvement explanation to assist the
improvement of competition within effectual unit.
Manager of the Morrisons company implements Tuckman team development theory for
making enhancement in making effective cooperative nature among the members of the
organisation. By making use pf this framework leaders has the ability to make appropriate team
which helps in achieving the desired goals and objectives. This model comprises five factors

P4 Utilize the conception and philosophies of organizational activity in organisational
circumstance in given concern state.
It is the process which is concerned with the organisation members in contyext of manage and
dealings with the behaviour of the employees to perform in a systematic mode for fulfulling
industry objectives. The theories and practice provides coordination in the attitude og the
workers in order to get the better results. The theory is given below:

employees and generate the working environment in order to attain the determine results. This
theiory is suitable for the working requirement of the staff and their surrounding which make

their workforce in order to make them competitive and make them capable to achieve the
objectives and tasks. Apart from this there are some negative impacts that are impacting on the
performance of the employee and because of this , they get demotivated. Therefore it is best

in the context of Morrisons , this leadership style negatively influence the working of the
employees and this results in lack of support from the management and the leaders which de
motivates them.
Participative
This is the leadership style where the leaders focus on allowing its subordinates to
participate them in decision making and sharing of their ideas and views . This is the motivation
and the leadership style which can be adopted by the company in order to attract its employees
towards the working of the different task in an effective and efficient manner. In context of the
Morrisons it is suggested that if the leader allows its employees to participate in decision making
process of the business organisation then this will help in increasing the morale of the employees
in order to perform in an effective and efficient manner(LaPrade., 2019). This helps in evaluating
the employees in a positive way and enhancing the the ability to motivate the employees within
the business organisation.

employees in order to increase their performance within the workplace. It is very essential for the
leader to understand the perspective of its subordinates and support them, in a right manner. It is

essential for the leader to be supportive to its subordinates in order to engage them in various
activities to achieve the goals and objectives.

adopt the style in order to to motivate its employees. It is also identified that there is a
relationship between a leadership style and managing the staff members in an effective and
efficient way(Mehta,., 2018). There are certain factors which are important to consider which are
discussed below:

hire the talented workforce in order to chive the goals and objectives of the business
organisation. It is very important for the Morrisons to adopt the suitable leadership style in order

performing of employees to achieve goals and objectives. The staff members will highly
motivates if they are given the rights and the better training and development.
The characteristics of the working environment- There are various features which need to taken
into consideration by the Morrisons such as task culture and the dynamic of the team which will
help in order to control over the staff members. The working environment of the company plays
a major role in motivating the individual and team behaviour.
M4 Evaluate how concepts and philosophies of OB inform and influence behaviour within a
given business situation.
It is very important for the Morrisons to develop and execute the path goals theory in order to
attract the employees towards a positive environment and develop such culture for achieving the
goals and objectives of the business organisation in an effective manner.
D2 Critically analyse and evaluate the relevance of team development theories, concepts and
philosophies that influence behaviour in the workplace to improve business performance
and productivity
