SECTION - 1
Influence of organisational culture, politics and power on organisational behaviour
Organisational culture plays a very significant role in the growth and development of the
performance of the employees. The organisational culture of Wilko is very supportive to the
employees where the employees can take pride in working for such company. The culture within
the organisation is very rewarding and enjoyable and the place which help in bringing out
positive skills from the employees. Wilko believes in serving the community and make the
workforce as well as the customers happy and satisfied. Example: company came up with reward
policy in which they provide rewards to the employees in order to appreciate their workforce.
The power culture of Wilko is a great way for such organisation in making decisions regarding
the organisational context. Power culture tends to stay the focus on one individual which is very
important for the company (Wood, and et.al., 2019). The power in the Wilko allows the company
to run and operate normally with a sole trader which will have the control over every decision
made within the organisation. The managers of different departments will make use of the power
to take the complete control over production and the team staff in that particular department.
There are specific roles defined in the company which helps in increasing the efficiency of the
organisation. The company makes sure that the staff is well thorough about their job roles and

responsibilities. The task culture is used to improve the working efficiency of the team and
motivate the employees in the process. Wilko tries their best to make its employees feel valued
and part of the company.
The organisational structure of Wilko is functioned according to the hierarchical structure
where every employees is treated equally. A company like Wilko can increase the effectiveness
of the company by using many benefits which come with the hierarchical frame work. These
aspects of the organisational behaviour have its impact on individuals as well as team behaviour
as it help in developing more working culture. Organisational culture, power and politics helps
the team in managing and taking risk and making the appropriate decisions. In addition to this,
organisational culture influences the individual behaviour as it helps in motivating the employees
while promoting individual learning (Balwant, P.T., 2018). Organisational culture of Wilko helps
in making effective communication between different individuals and thus making them work
harder to attain the goals and objectives of the company. Wilko makes them feel a part of
company and the corporate environment. Having the different types of cultures in the
organisation helps the employees become open to wider perspectives.
Behavioural motivational theories and techniques
Motivation is a need which helps in activating the behaviour which will drive the desired
goal of the organisation. Rewards are used in the context of behavioural objective to fulfil the
needs and requirements and achieve the final goal. Reward systems are focused to compensate
employees for their skills, the efforts they put in and maintain the responsibility in the working
conditions which will motivate and bring in higher performance (Collins, and et.al., 2020). The
theories for the behavioural motivational theories is classified into process theories and content
theories.
Content theories: This theories focus on the things which will motivate people working
within the organisation. Maslow proposed a hierarchy of five different needs. These needs
include the the physiological needs such as shelter and clothing, another is the safety which is
related to health as well as financial safety., esteem is related to the status and achievements and
last is the self actualisation referring to the growth and potential of the employee. He suggested
when these needs are satisfied then it is not a motivator. Two factor theory is another theory of
the motivation which is divided into being intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic are more motivators
