TASK 1
P1 Evaluate how an organisation’s culture, politics and power impact on an individual and team
behaviour and performance.
All these factors such as organisational culture, power and policies has an important role
in the succession of the business due to which it is necessary for the business to give their major
on properly managing their human resources (Al Saifi, 2015). In which the organisational culture
refers to the behaviour of the employees within the organisation and the outside parties .
Whereas, the power and politics are directly linked with the management and leadership of the
business organisation. The impact of all these factors on the individual and the overall team is
described beneath:
Organisational culture: Organisational culture is depicts as the implicit assumptions,
beliefs, values and ways of interaction of all the members within or outside the organisation. In
order to get the success in the business it is essential for the business manager to give their main
focus on developing a unique culture which will enables the to provide the appropriate guidelines
and boundaries to the member for behaving in the organisation (Anitha, 2016). In this aspect the
business manager of Ryanair company can use the Handy's typology which is described below: \

 Power culture: It showcase that type of culture within the organisation in which the
power is remains in the hand of some people who are responsible to take decisions. In this
the employees have to follow their superior's instructions as they does not have freedom
to share their ideas and views. This culture is generally seen in the small start-ups where
the single person is operated operates the business. It might lead the negative impact on
the employees as it hinderhinders the rights of them which create unrest among the
employees towards their job (Arnold, 2015).
 Role culture: This culture focus on delegation delegating the responsibilities and roles as
per the specialisation, education and interest of the employees so that the best outcomes
can be extracted. In this aspect the power comes with every individual responsibility
which will enables them to accomplish their work with great efficiency.
 Task culture: This type of culture is most suitable for those organisations who which is
concerning for achieving the specific task or solve the critical problems. In the task
culture every employee has their own contribution in accomplishing the task or solving
out the issue in the most effective or innovative manner.
 Person culture: An organisation which is followed this culture is give their more
emphasis on employees. In this culture, the employees more concerned for their own
rather than the overall performance of the organisation. Due to this, the overall
organisation will suffer badly as the overall performance of the business will go in the
lower stage.
At the present scenario the business organisation of Ryanair following the power culture
in their organisation in which the power is handed in one person. For example, in the Ryanair the
power of formulating strategies and plan only in the hand of manager due to which the employees
have to do their work in given boundaries which decrease the flow of ideas and plans in the
organisation. In order to get the success, the firm need to adopt that task culture as it will help
them to cope from all the negative situations of the organisation with the contribution of each and
every employee.
Organisational politics: This refers to the all the rules and guidelines of the company
which are decided by them in order to keep awake their employees that how they want to behave
and how they want to do a specific task for achieving their desired outcomes (Butchibabu, 2016).
All the policies are determined by the business organisation in place to prevent the rights of the
