behaviour and performance
Impact of culture
Organisational culture can be termed as the basic culture followed by a business enterprise that
reflects upon the core values and principles adopted by a business firm in its day to day
managerial functions. Organisational culture has the ability to influence the overall functioning
of the firm. Culture of an organisation tends to have major impact on the performance of the
employees. An organisation that consists of positive working culture is likely to give better
results in terms of performance and productivity. Organisational culture must consist of effective
policies and procedure, integrity, authenticity and credibility of the operations within the
respective firm (Veldsman and Veldsman, 2020). Royal Dutch Shell should focus upon building
an organisation culture wherein every individual working in the organisation is given equal
opportunity for growth and development. Open communication and flexibility must prevail in
the organisational setting in order to boost positive culture in the business enterprise which in

turn will help to encourage the business performance as well as the individual performance of the
employees. Organisational culture also promotes the value of the firm to the target customers. A
competent organisational culture helps the firm to attract better personal towards the same which
aligns with the vision of the firm. More concentration and focus should be provided in enhancing
the organisational culture of the business institution so as to enhance the well-being of the
workforce working under the form and to improve the overall performance exhibited by the
same.
Impact of Politics
Organisational politics can be characterised as an attribute that can lead to severe consequences
on the decision-making abilities of the management. Each and every organisation has to deal
with the ongoing politics within the business environment in a deliberate and consistent manner.
Business firms need to ensure that the decision making criteria does not get manipulated due to
the prevailing politics of the individuals in the firm. In order to diminish the impact of dirty
politics in the business firm, Royal Dutch Shell needs to ensure that favouritism is eliminated
within the enterprise. It is also very important for the business firms to gain relevant insights
about the informal communication that takes place within the organisation setting so as to
identify the potential individuals who are responsible for the facilitation of unnecessary politics
within the business institution (Nguyen, 2020).Channelization of internal network is also very
essential so as to determine the root cause behind the politics in order to eliminate the same from
the environment of the respective business organisation. It can be stated that in order to
effectively handle organisational politics it is very necessary for the management to neutralise
the environment in which the politics is exercised. The respective practice shall help the firm in
reducing the adverse implications associated with the prevailing political environments existing
within the concerned business organisation. The ongoing politics within the organisational
setting can lead to negative implications on the performance delivered by the employees within
the same. Hence, it is important for the organisation and the management in charge to make sure
that politics does not affect the mental capacity of the employees and they are very much aligned
with the purpose and goals of the respective enterprise.
