INTRODUCTION
Organizational behaviour plays a critical role in the development and the growth of the
organization as it is very important to have interaction between the people of organization. The
behaviour of the employee's in the organization have direct and significant impact on working
environment. Behaviour of employees include employees personal belief, feelings, background
and experience in the company. For managing and understanding the behaviour of individual,
organizational behaviour is a scientific approach. Furthermore, The behaviour of the employees
have great influence at work place. The attitude of employees influence the decision of
management and change the policies and rules and regulations as well. The organizational
behaviour of individual, group and structure have direct impact on the development and growth of
the company. BBC company has chosen in this assessment. The main objectives of this
assignment is to determine how company;s culture, politics and power influence individual and
team and discussing the theories and model of motivation as well.
PART 1
P1.Analysis that how company's culture, politics and power can influence and team behaviour.
The way in which a person or employees behave in the organizations is entirely depends
on the culture where the person is come from (Ehlers, 2017). BBC is the most popular company in
the world. For understanding the prior culture in BBC, we can make use of Charles Handy's social
model. Culture, politics and power of the individual is the fundamental areas of the organization.
Improvement and development in the behaviour of individual is very essential as because all these
elements lead to success or failure of the organization. In our chosen organization that is BBC, it
was seen that the administration and association of the company must be improved as because the
targets goals is to be achieved in any situation. BBC is using the model of Charles Handy's which
helps in understanding the behaviour of the organization. There are four dimensions in this model
which implies that the most important thing is the way of life.
Power- Each and every organization is worked with some crucial choice of individual and the
power as in some companies power remains in the hand of few peoples. All the decisions are
taken by them. The individual who have major powers of the organization enjoys privileges at the
work place. All the responsibilities are delegated by them to the workers. The powers of BBC is in
wrong hands as they are misusing these powers. They are giving instructions in very hard way and
1

treating employees in very bad manner. The whole life of BBC is influenced by these people who
are misusing these powers.
Individual- There are some companies where all the workers feel they are valued in the
organization. It is very important for company to follow this culture. In a person culture,
individual are more concerned about the own self rather than the organization (Searle and Rice,
2018). Worker comes to organization only for earning money not for any attachment which is not
good at all. For attaining the objectives of gaol it is very essential to get attach to the company. As
in BBC the employees are not self-satisfied with the management of BBC. It is very important to
build bond relationship with employees working in the organization. BBC should develop the
culture of togetherness in the organization.
Role- Role culture indicates duties and responsibilities according to the quality and education. The
social framework expresses that representative ought to be fragmented based on the part and
obligations they perform inside the company. The division of the work in BBC is in well manner
and as per the quality of the workers. This kind of culture represent the representative's part and
responsibility will be detached by their capableness and their ability to action. As in the BBC the
best management can modify the situation surroundings and responsibilities still the lower level
worker are not ready to understand their parts and work in the organization.
Politics- This is the best elements in the organization. In each and every organization there are
political factors which influence the powers of top level management. If the person who are
performing political functions think betterment for the organization lead to the best for the
development and growth of BBC (Goh, Ritchie and Wang, 2017). If workers working in
administration are transforming their powerfulness into human action then they will surely
be impulsive towards politics of administration. But the workers desire to be top
management can lead to negative effect on workplace politics as well they start
manipulating others in BBC.
Impact of Cultural diversity on team and individual.
In the era of globalization, Cultural diversity is the most current trends. BBC serves all
over the world which is very difficult for the company to manage all the culture, politics of
every individual. But it is very important for company to manage all these affairs so that
there not a negative impact on the performance of the company.
2

There are various cultures and their variation have direct impact on the performance of the
worker or a team-
Effect on the performance of worker- Cultural diversity affect entire environment of
BBC. The variations within the cultures have immense impact on the performance of the
workers. Every workers in the organization are from different cultures and all have their
own belief in cultures which sometimes leads to conflicts and issues in the organization.
Effect on the performance of Team- In a team there are so many people working in a
team of the company. All have different thoughts and cultures and belief. It is not possible
that every workers in a team understand and respect culture of others (Manzi and Darcy, 2017).
BBC has so many people working in the company al have different opinions and different
beliefs. All are from different backgrounds which lead to conflicts and issues which have
direct impact on the performance of the company.
P2. Content and Process of Motivational Theories.
The enquiry on inspiration revealed that there are two notable elements which can
be related to the motivational theories oriented for the employees inside an organization.
These two elements of the Content and Process hypotheses which can be attached with a
particular end goal to motivate the employees working in the organization.
Contend Theory- This theory is formulated to analysis the needs and wants of a person.
The needs and wants of a person is a most important factor for every individual. The
content theory depends on what influence workers to draw out the best inside them. Every
worker has a few needs by concentrating on those necessities (Pradhan and et.al, 2017). The
organization make use of theories to fulfil there needs and motivate them. By satisfaction
of needs and wants from the employees lead to success of the organization. BBC is doing
for the bets for their employees, company also give prizes, gift to them in order to
motivate them and improve their performance of the employees. The needs and wants of
all the employees are somewhat same. The various needs and wants are-
Social Needs- Social needs is the most important needs for the workers as it is very
essential to build healthy and happy environment in the organization. The workers can be drive
out in the events that feels socially adjusted. The social needs is from outside and inside the
3

organization. Workers in the organization feels more and more motivated if company fulfils the
social needs of the employees (Ruck, Welch and Menara, 2017).
Regards- the other most important need is that worker feel motivated and confidence. The workers
ought to be approached with deference at each level of the organization. It satisfies their self-
assurance needs and motivate them.
Development needs- Fulfilment of the workers and the self-awareness can be another elements to
motivate the workers. Training and development programs in the organization can assist the
workers to heighten their abilities and they feel more and more motivated in the company.
Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory-According to this theory there are different kind of needs
which workers will have during their lifespan and before accomplishing the needs employees will
not move forward to the future needs. Maslows-hierarchy-of-needs theory fundamentally have
five categories. It essentially starts with completion of the psychological needs and after Fulfilling
the first needs than workers needs to have health and safety needs and after that with emotions and
affectionately and Self-respect (Balwant, 2018). In this theory the first and basic needs are
psychological needs which is compulsory for any company to accomplish this needs as because it
is the first and prime necessitate of workers to have food, cloth and shelter. The next health and
safety need is also the most valuable need of the workers as working in the organization
employee's should feel protect and secure. Emotions and warmness is the next most essential
theory which is to be fulfilled in the company. Next needs are Self respect which is included as
award and esteem of the workers in the organization.
McClelland's theory- This theory states that there are three main dimensions of motivations.
Power, affiliation, and achievement. This theory also explains that no employees are
discriminated by its gender, race caste and age or anything. Equality in the organization lead to
motivate the employees of the organization
Skinner's reinforcement theory- in this theory the section of incentives or bonus is included. To
motivate the employees in the organization and make betterment in the performance of the
employees, giving bonus and incentives are the best method. And in opposite company can also
punish the employees for any wrong things. Management of the company can bring out the weak
points of the employees and scold them as well but it should not be in harsh way. In this theory,
researcher also stated that organization should ensure that there no very long time gap in giving
incentives and rewards.

PART 2
P3. How to cooperate effectively with others in team.
Cooperation is the essence of the organization. As we know working together leads to
success. In the organization it is very essential to be in team in order to achieve the goals and
target. In BBC cooperation and team work plays an essential role in the development and the
growth of the company. Cooperation results in productive work. By working in the team workers
learn to settle-down many things like any issues disputes and or any other problems which arises
in the team. Working in a team is the best way to achieve the objectives of the organization.
Effective team in a company has some special skills and qualities. An effective team makes them
different from others. Working in a team is not an easy task as it is very essential to develop the
team work in each and every person.
There are some points which shows that cooperation is very essential for BBC.
Focus on organizational goal- Working together in the team helps in achieving the goals of
the organization (Burrell and Morgan, 2017). Working together leads to success of the company.
Together makes the worker stronger and effective.
Mutual understanding- Working in a team build mutual understanding among all the
workers in the organization. Mutual understanding leads to effective and quality of work. Mutual
understanding in the employees settle down many issues within the team without going to top
managements regularly. In BBC the employees have mutual understanding quality which aid them
to perform work effectively and efficiently.
Identify the issues- A successful team leaders of the team identify all the issues of the
worker. Quality and traits and skills makes them to focus on the activities and behaviour of the
employees and identify the issues in the team. A team leader always try to resolve the issues as
earlier than possible. The Teams of BBC is very adorable and there work is admirable.
Promote unity- Working in a team promotes unity in the organization. Unity is very
essential part of each and every company. The performance of the employee's is raise by unity in
the organization (Kim, Kim and Reid, 2017). Any employees in the organization is facing any trouble
demonstrate their concern in team. In BBC there is excellent unity in the organization.
Participate in decision making- Working in a tea means each and every employees has
right to take part in the all the decision of the company or a team. By taking their views
5

employees fell confidence and they feel more motivated. Their work is more encourage if they
feel they are valued for team.
Equal opportunity- Working in a team, it is very essential to give equal opportunities to
each and every employees. Like any bonus or incentives announced by company, it is the duty of
leader to inform all the employees in a team (Gkorezis and Petridou, 2017.). Furthermore, if company
is giving training in the company at that time all the workers in the team is informed about the
training so that they take the opportunities.
Skill Development- Cooperation leads to development of various skills in the employees.
Employees learn to compromise to many situations and settlement of conflicts. Workers learn to
work together, sharing and caring skills also develop by the organization.
Improvement in Job satisfaction- Cooperation in team builds job satisfaction in the
employees. By cooperation the working place becomes healthy and happy working place but if
there is always arguments, conflicts, disputes in the team than the working place become jail or
way.

the organization or at working place. When employees are divided in groups than there is chance
of misunderstanding which take birth in the organization. BBC is trying best in boosting the level

place.
Develop the listening capacity- Working in a team leads to develop the listening capacity
in the employees. It is very essential to have capacity and ability of listening to others. Sometimes
it happens in a team that employees have to listen for that which they have not done but
argumentation and commenting does not look good. It is very necessary to develop good listening
capacity in workers so that the chances of conflicts reduces (Pereira, Malik and Froese, 2017). In BBC
company, management is trying there best in developing the cooperation level to the best level
and organizing training programmes so that they learn.
Effective communication- Cooperation in team results in effective communication which
assist in building bonded relationship in the employees. BBC has a solid correspondence channel
inside the organization which encourages the organization to pass on a message, and duties and
rules to the workers in better way.

Making healthy competition- To make effective cooperation, organization should make a
healthy competition among the employees. Presenting rewards with the best person or objective
achiever can build up a sound competition among the workers, this efficient growth in
profitability of the organization too every person in the union (Zedelius and et.al, 2017). In BBC the
working environment is healthy and workers are not doing bad competence from others.
Building optimistic working place- Cooperation in a team makes the working place more
optimistic and positive. It vis very necessary inside the organization that there is positivity in the
working place. BBC is fulfilling all the needs and wants of employees in order to bring positivity
