TASK 1
P1 Organisation power, politics and culture influence team and individual performance and
behaviour
In a firm, there are several elements like power, culture and politics which have
influence on behaviour and working of particular person and group members. It is important for
management to give positive atmosphere at workplace and culture to employees. It will help in
executing enterprise activities properly. Therefore, politics and power are two tactics which gave
negative impact on functioning of subordinates.
Organisation's culture: This involve assumptions, values and beliefs which determine
behaviour of particular person within company. Management of A David & Co Limited need to
consider this element in order to inspire and dedicate employees towards their responsibilities. In
this, Handy’s typology of culture consists four divisions which gave impact on team and
individual behaviour and performance (Handy's Model of Organisational Culture, 2018). It is
used by top authority of A David & Co Ltd which are as follows:
 Power culture: In this element, some companies give power to few individuals for
taking decisions. They do not involve staff members in process of decision making.

Managers assign works to their employees in order to accomplish goals within span of
time. As per David & Co Ltd, higher authorities do not share their powers with
employees as they have to make decisions timely. Hence, firms give some power to
workers for taking decisions related to their work for meeting business objectives and
targets as well.
(Source: Handy’s typology of culture, 2017) Role culture: This is another part of culture. Here, management distribute responsibilities
and roles to employees as per their knowledge and skills (Boxall, Guthrie and Paauwe,
2016). It will assist top authority to make proper use of manpower by giving them work
according to their capabilities. In A David & Co Ltd, staff members execute their work
properly and willingly accept challenges. It is due to managers assign them task as per
their interest and qualification. Person culture: In this, it define that employees are having perception that they are very
essential part of organisation. It will gave impact on functioning of A David & Co Ltd, as
particular person need to achieve their personal targets. Workers perform works for
earning money and they are not having determination to meet enterprise objectives.
