1. Analyse how an organisation’s culture, politics and power influence individual and team
behaviour and performance.
The organisational culture can be defined as a set of expectations, experiences,
philosophies and all the value that helps in guiding the employees behaviour and the way of
working in an organisation. In an organisation, its culture, power and politics in the workplace
plays a significant role in maintaining and improving the performance of an individual and
overall team.
A. W. Holding has set guidelines for its employees to work accordingly. It helps in
setting the company’s culture which helps in increasing the productivity and performance of the
tea, and an individual in the company (Mohr, Young and Burgess, 2012). The power and politics
is also an important determinant which can either increase or affect the performance of the
company.
Organisational culture:
Every organisation has different culture which defines a set of rules and the way of
interacting with each other and with the company. The theory of Charles Handy, Handy’s model
or organisational culture can well defined the culture in organisation. According to the Handy’s
model, there are 4 types of culture in an organisation.

 Power culture: In an organisation, were some employees are having power are called
power culture. They are given these power based on their performance, qualification.
These employees are given responsibility of taking decisions, they enjoyed the privileged
in workplace as they are the decision maker (Carlström and Ekman, 2012). They can

employees has to follow the instruction strictly. The employees feels and freedom to
express their view and ideas. It can affect their performance and hinder the efficient
productivity of the team.

efforts in order to achieve the goal in most productive manner.
 Role culture: It is a culture in an organisation, where employees are assigned the roles
and responsibilities according to their skills, specialization and educational qualification.
It helps the company to take out the best from the employees. In such culture the
employees feels motivated in doing the task or role by accepting all challenges. In such
work culture, the employees are held responsible for their job.
 Person culture: the organisation where its employees feels more superior to themselves
in front of the organisation are following person culture. In such culture, employees feels
that they are important than the organisation. Employees works for accomplishing their
personal goals and not for the organisation (Handy's Model of Organisational Culture
,2018). They came to work just for the sake of money. In such work culture, organisation
suffers as employees are not working efficiently for achieving the goals of organisation.
Organisational power:
As discussed earlier in Handy' s model of organisational culture, power in an organisation
is when a some individual are assigned specific poewers in hand of few people. They are
authorised for making certain decisions and power to delegate task or responsibilities to other
employees. Power culture in an organisation is important, where the employees can use their
power for motivating other employees and instruct them to perform their job in order to achieve
