INTRODUCTION
Organisational behaviour is nowadays becoming one of the most important and big issues
for the company. The impact of which the negativity among the employees spread fast which
need to be taken care by the management. This report will be based on the Verdant Leisure
which is a SME located in UK. The company is a bespoke holiday park operator which offers the
self-catering lodge and caravan holiday service to the family customer across Scotland and
Northern England (Nuckcheddy, 2018). This report will also describe the current organisation
culture of the Verdant Leisure company and along with that the report will also include the
influence of organisational power, culture and politics. Further, the report will also state the
motivational theory which help the Verdant to motivate and encourage their employees and also

P1 Critical analysis of the current organizational culture of Verdant Leisure and their impact over
organizational performance
The culture of the organization is one of the factors which influence the behaviour of
employees and team members and affects the performance of the business. The current
organizational culture of the Verdant company is quite positive and encouraging. In order to
further analyse the culture of the organization the Charles Handy model of OC will be taken.
Charles Handy Model of Organizational Culture
In this model, Charles Handy divided the organizational culture into four category such as
Role, task, power and personal culture.
 Role culture: This category of the organizational culture state role and responsibility of
each and every employee with the help of which the employees know in advance what
they need to do. For example; Verdant leisure staff know in advance what they need to do
such as managing the parks, arranging catering service for the customers etc. so that they
can spend time with their family and friends (Wood and et.al., 2019). But the main issue
arises here is that the employees are less adaptable to the environmental changes.
 Task culture: In this category, the organization culture needs to be flexible and based on
the projects so that results are going to be achieved by the company. As the employees of
Verdant know their task in advance but they also make changes in their activities as per

the customers taste and preferences. But because of the low team dynamics the company
faces difficulty in achieving the success by adapting the new opportunity.
 Power Culture: Here, the culture of the organization lack in centralization and the
impact of which teams get demotivated. For example; the managers of the Verdant
leisure directly communicate with the staffs without informing leaders and also expect
quick and agile response from them (Pirow, 2021). But this creates difficulty for the
employees to work in an introspective environment.
 Personal culture: In this category, the organizational culture of the Verdant Leisure
company is such that the employees and teams are directed by the top management and
leaders. On one side they feel less stress because of top support and but also feel
difficulty in managing their work as they are self-directed personal. Any small change in
rules and regulation affects them badly. That’s why the Verdant have to incorporate
flexibility in their business culture.
With the analysis of Verdant culture and politics it is evaluated that by taking use of power
culture, coercive power and negative politics faces number of issues which is not only affecting
its overall performance and productivity but also leading lack of motivation among employees.
 In this it is recommended to managers and top executives of Verdant to undertake use of
role culture, reward power and positive politics. As it will allow company to increase
motivation among workers.
 Managers and leaders are also recommended to take advantage of strong communication
strategies in order to maximise effectiveness of transparency among employees.
Critical analysis of the power and politics factor influence over Verdant Leisure
Apart from the cultural factor, there are two most important factor such as power and politics
which influence the behaviour and productivity of the Verdant company. This factor and their
impact are as follow:
 Power Factor: Power is basically strong factor which influence the employees in both
the positive and negative way. For example; Verdant company uses the reward power to
provide the reward to the employees whose performance increases day by day and also
that work for the company even at tight season. This also help the company in improving
the skills and development of each of its employees so that they personally handle the
