INTRODUCTIONBBC is a news channel in UK, describes about the latest news and incidents based onfacts by video coverage. An incident of child abuse in the premises committed by Jimmy whowas the employee in BBC. This incident was shocking and put impact on the society by knowingthe risks for kids. Later on for the protection UK government commenced many laws includingtheir protection at workplace are detailed in this report. The negative impact on BBC andrecovering of such terms are detailed with the help of theories and modals which are taken intopractical for effectiveness of work and employees in BBC. This can be seen in this report asbelow.TASK 1a) Influence of politics and power on the behaviour of othersHandy's cultural typology: By defining the culture of an organisation, Charles Handy acted as a leading authority bydefining it in four different ways (Handy's cultural typology 2015).Power culture: As everyone knows power cannot be given to each individual for theregulation of organisation. There should be few superiors and others remain assubordinates. The subordinates follow the instructions of superior. Only a few membersof BBC have been chosen and handed over some powers so that they can effectively runthe organisation (Chumg and et.al., 2016). Under power culture, the limited rules andregulations are given to eligible members. In addition, others are judged on the basis ofhow they work rather than how they act. By this, rapid decisions are made in BBC aboutthe interested workers who can work for long term.Role culture: This culture defines about the role that is performed by instructing and alsoby following the rules and regulations of organisation. In BBC, the role culture isperformed on hierarchical structure. Role culture in BBC is determined by position ofauthorities by following the role in a chain of command from the superior till thesubordinates.Task culture: Problems are fixed with the help of task culture. In BBC, when theproblem arises of child abuse largely, this was settled by the task performers. Somepowers are given to the authorised and skilled people on basis of personality andleadership to solve the problems (Coccia, 2014).1

Person culture: Person culture defines about the superiority of employees andauthorities in their own field. BBC has divided into departments for the performance ofthe tasks and problems. They understand their own responsibilities and performefficiently and effectively for the running of BBC.Smith review on organisational culture of BBCBBC appointed Smith for the inquiry of sexual abuse as it was committed by Jimmy Savile. Jimmy Savile is hosting a radio and popular television. In premises of BBC, Smith collected some evidences from the child with whom the offence was conducted by Jimmy Savile.The people who worked with Jimmy was concern about it, also they were familiar with the culture and practices of BBC. By being concern about the teenagers and youngsters they prevented so far and the proper information about the incident had with persons who were seniors.B) Politics and powers affected within BBCJimmy was on front page news and it negatively impacted on BBC. According to Jimmy,at the time of processing of court, the charges of abuse left him with shock. People never wantedto read such stories on newspaper said by a reporter to Jimmy. Also, nobody will see the linesabout the news in the future (Kitchin, 2017). This in the times of 1970s as said by a reporter byusing the word “paedophilia”, which means content is not worthy to execute in evening papers. But now, the time has been changed also the attitudes towards the positivity, but thepeople when remember about the past they start warning their kids about the men with“wandering hands” who will exploit their childhood. Today's culture in BBCMany laws are compiled at workplace for the protection of women under the SexDiscrimination Act of 1975, which strictly warns about the misconduct with the women staff atthe place of work. In case of Harassment, the law is enacted in 1997 for the protection of women.The right of employment equality regulations are enacted in 2005, which punish against harmingher dignity, also any kind of humiliating etc. also enforced in BBC. For the protection of femalestaff, BBC also took some measures for not happening of such incidents further as it not onlyimpact the environment, but also create fear among the women's and kids which is not good.Cultural and political powers also got affected by this incident (Christina, and et.al., 2014).2
