The organisation which has been selected is A David & Co Ltd a UK based company,started by Aurther David. The enterprise mainly deals in selling wide range of food andbeverages items such as fresh fruits, vegetables, bakery, dairy products and many more.

It is important to understand thecomplexity of human behaviour so that they can be motivated. This will help in improving theproductivity and effective growth of business. Influence of culture can be studied throughHandy's model which explains that there are four classes of culture:Power culture- Power is usually held by those who holds certain position or status in thesociety. In the organisation few individual has complete control over functioning of business.They take decisions as to what and how things will be done. A David & Co can adopt this cultureby managing and controlling every single aspect regarding how tasks are being performed by theemployees.Role culture- It is based on rules and regulation created by the organisation forcontrolling purpose. These are established to clearly define roles and responsibilities ofindividuals to avoid conflicts and confusion. Under this chain of command is followed indecision making which makes long and slow process (Allen, 2017). This culture could also beadopted by A David & Co Ltd to maintain proper hierarchy in the organisation.1
Task culture- In this type of culture group of people take measures to address problemsand ensures the progress on project. It is highly based on group dynamics as the appropriatedecisions can only be taken if there exist mutual understanding between team members. Thisculture can be adopted by A David & Co Ltd to maintain cooperative environment in theorganisation. A David & Co Ltd has been growing leaps and bounds because of it's task culture asmembers enjoys dealing with challenges on daily basis with the help of mutual understandingand friendliness amongst the workforce. Each member of team is given equal opportunity to putforward their views and ideas, this helps in influencing the behaviour of individual in positivemanner. Therefore task culture is associated with advantages like efficiency and increasedproductivity in performance of team members (Ye, 2012).PoliticsThis factor negatively impacts the behaviour of an individual along with team membersas politics in organisation pushes people to put their self interest above the organisationalinterest. Therefore it can act as roadblock in the growth of organisation. A David & Co Ltd candeal with this aspect by ensuring that no rumours should be entertained also proper investigationneeded to be done in unforeseen situations to understand the roles played by members theirperceptive and things that went wrong (Borkowski, 2015).Power Power lies in the hands of strong and powerful individual, within the A David & Co Ltdthis factor can moderately affect the employees behaviour. Too much exertion of power by topmanagement can create fear and rebellion amongst individuals on the other hand not havingenough control can cause irresponsibilities. It also impacts team behaviour as they would not beable to take decisions. In both the situations efficiency of business will be affected thereforebalance should be maintain by decentralising power appropriately in the workforce.2
