INTRODUCTION
Organisational Behaviour emphasis the human behaviour in an organisation. This theory
depict the behaviour of a human in the working condition of an company. This study links
human behaviour directly with the working environment of the firm (Omole, Oladundoye and
Oyetunji-Alemede, 2019). Main aspect of OB is to provide a quality working environment in
which an employee can express the best ability he possess. A positive OB structure will always
help to organisation to achieve its industrial goals. In this report Sainsbury is taken as an
organisation which retail company since 1884. It specialises in selling high quality clothing, food
products and home products. Sainsbury started their business in U.K and now they become the
leading brand in retail sector as a result of quality working condition and a positive working
environment. Currently Sainsbury acquires 959 stores across the U.K. including 615 only
dealing in food products. This study focuses on how an organisational behaviour can influence
the entire Firm. This report also discusses about all the important aspects of company behaviour

LO 1
P1 How organisational culture influence individual and team behaviours and performance
Organisational culture of Sainsbury are subjected to adopt changes very faster. Sainsbury
follows the culture for enhancing the customers and called customers drive. It is about the efforts
which is implemented by the businesses for the improvement in market researches, recruiting
eligible people, better customer services etc. all such things help Sainsbury in developing their
market value. Simultaneously the firm culture impacts a lot, company works in terms to adopt
new culture which should be different from the previous one.
To understand the organisational culture firstly need to understand the Handy's Cultural
topology because it is considered as the benchmark for the company in cultural model structure.
There are four types of culture
Power culture
It allows only few people to take the authorization power in their hands, and they enjoy it.
As they have position and power in them they take important decisions. These people are
considered as the privileged ones in the firm as they have power with them. These people have to

pay important roles and responsibilities as they are authoritative bodies. They have to distribute
the duties to other employees in the working environment. In this culture other people do not
have the right to speak and present their views. They just have to follow the instructions.
Task culture
This culture is based on team performance. Team work is analysed in terms of resolving
the issues faced during the task, their target achievement, their performances, efforts are
considered (Muhonen, Jönsson and Bäckström, 2017). As they employees participated in
achieving the target, they get the opportunity to contribute in the task so it equals in each and
every manner. People can take stands, express their views and accomplish the tasks by using
innovative ideas.
Person culture
In this culture the individual motive is mainly concerned. Person works for himself, he
doesn't care about company. Individual is more concerned about its own profit, while it may loss
the organisation. So such kind of persona at workplace leads to failure.
Role culture
This culture is based on the employees efficiency and eligibility. The employees are
recruited or selected according to their educational qualification and specialisation of the
employee, so they are assigned the task or job roles and responsibilities according to their
capability.
Sainsbury changes their policies and environment of the firm. As they try to improve in
their business. Company adopted new cultural policy in their workplace which should justify the
morals, values, beliefs and ethics of the Organization culture. To improve in the working
environment and achieving new milestones in systematic approach.
Impact of the Power and politics on the company behaviour
The organisational culture influenced by the changes in the power and polices in the
external environment. They are affected due to Brexit because the political situation has
changed, government has changed their policies, they have to suffer a lot from such confusing
condition. Sainsbury withdraws from the global market that time (Kakabadse and Bank, 2018).
It losses the company a lot, so they need to make new business strategies and follow them in
terms to achieve the target and move forward to international market.
