importance of various types of team in the company such as functional team, virtual team,
problem solving team etc. which could be formulated in the company for different-different
purpose. Beside from it, this study also describe about organisational concept and theory by
which BBC organisation could make improvement in some of its performance in the company
efficiently.
TASK 1
P.1. The influence of culture, political and power on the behaviour of others in the BBC
company
It has been seen that, each organisation have its specific culture and behaviour of working
in the company effectively. They must follow particular culture in order to completion of each
task in the business in proper manner (McLennan, 2013). In case of BBC company, it has been
observed by the Smith that, there were some serious falling in the BBC's culture effectively and
which is making negative impact in performance of the company in industry properly. So it
could be examined that, there are some situations are occurring in the company by some critical
factors such as culture, political and power on the behaviour of the firm effectively. It could be
identifies with the assistance of Hnady's cultural typology(1986).
Hnady's cultural typology(1986) :
Task Culture: This is also most useful elements of the organisation in order to formation
of specific team at the workplace while completion of various critical task in the corporation
effectively (Larsson and Vinberg, 2010). This is team has been formed by BBC's professionals in
such a way, in which common interests and specialisation of some peoples' comes together in
1

order to formation of an effective within the company appropriately. According to task culture of
Handy's model, each member of team need to achieve task in the company in more innovative
ways for accomplishment of organisational goals and objectives within the company effectively
(Reychav and Sharkie, 2010). BBC's employees in a team are not delivering well performance as
per its requirement in the company effectively. This might be main cause of serious falling of
culture in the company and its professional need to make improvement in these areas by
furnishing efficient facilities to its team member in context of completion of each task at the
workplace effectively. It has been observed that, its staffs are giving about its culture issues in
the organisation effectively and there is also gap among several employee's for gender and pay
scale which makes demotivate its employees at the workplace properly. It makes negative impact
in performance of the company in the industry properly, because of some misunderstanding at
the workplace, its subordinates are not able to complete some essential works and they are
treated with the worst behaviour of their superior in the company which could negative
influences on the performance of individual and team members at broad level within the
organisational environment in sufficient form.
M.1. Critically analyse how the culture, politics and power of BBC organisation can influence
individual and team behaviour and team performance
Person culture: In each organisation, each individual employees wants to see themselves
in the organisation at superior and most valuable for the company effectively. It is the nature of
2

the organisation in which people existence play vital role in order to operation of a firm in the
industry efficiently. In case of BBC company, its person culture defines about really just a
collection of several peoples in the company who working for the organisation together in order
to accomplishment of firm's goals and objectives within the industry sufficiently. There are
several professions in the company which is common to other organisation structure such as
accountant and lawyers posts etc. (Knights and Willmott, eds., 2016). Power lies in each group
of individuals in the company effectively. Each individual have its own person culture who
makes influences on overall team and organisational culture efficiently. In case of BBC'
company, its several departments has different-different authority to working in the company in
relevant manner. As per observed by Smith, the serious falling of organisational culture have
behind major causes are, varied of staff complains are being listed in the organisation associated
to its superiors at the workplace which making negative impact on organisation behaviour of the
firm effectively. Its professionals need to make appropriate decision about resolving these issues
properly. This is also being one of the major cause of BBC's culture serious falling in the
company in relevant form. There are numbers of issues are being arising in the company towards
serious falling of the company. So that, its employees need to make improvement in its personal
culture and behaviour in the firm towards positive ways in order to getting more revenue from
the market in sufficient form.
Role culture: In each organisation they have different-different types of role culture at
the workplace regarding to their specific professions in the company effectively. These roles
culture might be based on the rules of the company sufficiently. These roles are highly monitored
by top management of the company in respect to furnishing effective roles and responsibilities of
everyone in the company (Shiu and Yu, 2010). Power is a role culture in the company which
determines about person's positioning in the company effectively. In BBC organisation, varied to
role and responsibilities are being done by its several professionals in the company effectively.
Decision-making process of the culture also culture is very slow and organisation wants to take
less risk towards it. In BBC firm, its employees have clearly high level of authorities and defines
structure of their role in the company which must be functioned by them within the
organisational environment in relevant manner. There are many complains and issues are being
listed by its sub-ordinates towards superior authorities in the company regarding to making
violence of their rights and role at the workplace effectively. Its employees require making
3

improvement in is role culture in the firm in respect to improving performance of the company's
organisation behaviour and culture in industry sufficiently. Misuses of roles and responsibilities
of superior's authorities in the company also make negatively influence on organisation culture
of BBC company. It defines that, violence of role and responsibilities of several professionals in
the company might be major cause of serious falling of
Power culture: Power culture is also a big thing for BBC organisation, in the
organisation, where power remains in the hands of few peoples in the country effectively and
have only authorities to making major decision in the company effectively. In the organisation,
they are specific persons who are making enjoying privileges at the workplace in sufficient form.
These persons get more respect from their sub-ordinates in the company and they also major
decision maker in order to some essential changes in the company effectively (Nutbeam, Harris
and Wise, 2010). In BBC organisation, its most of top employees are violating their rights and
making wrong use of their power in the company which is the prime cause of serious falling of
culture of the company in the industry effectively. This is the one of the major cause of serious
falling of culture in BBC organisation effectively, varied of superior's authorities are working in
the company and in the team, they are making wrong use of their power and giving hard task to
be completed within given time period. So its sub-ordinate does not have liberty towards
presenting their difficulties in the company in order to completion of every task in the company
in relevant form. They have to perform well towards their executives in case of making feel them
more motivated in the company and working efficiently as well.
TASK 2
P.2. Motivational techniques and theories enable effective achievement of goals in BBC
organisation
Varied of motivational theories and techniques are presented here by BBC organisational
professionals could motivate themselves in the company in relevant form (Mendes and Stander,
2011). These techniques define about why people need to implement changes in the organisation
and how these theories in the firm assist its employees in respect to making proper decision
towards motivate their employees in the organisation relevantly and also resolving major issues
of the firm effectively.
Extrinsic motivation: This type of motivational techniques defines about to tendency of
organisation to provision of proper engagement towards its employees in the company in order to
4

generating more revenue from the market in more relevant form. These rewards could be
tangible and physiological in nature which is giving to organisational employees properly. There
are some rewards could be given by BBC organisational professionals towards their sub-
ordinates and several executives in order to making them more motivated at the workplace. Their
motivational level enforce them to work harder for the team in order to completion of each task
within the firm efficiently. It requires by company top administration regarding to giving
attractive rewards to their loyal employees and also offering impressive pay scale to their
employees in the company in sufficient form, which makes them more motivate at the workplace
in order to giving their full dedication in order to improvement in organisation culture effectively
(Burnard and Bhamra, 2011). The organisational efforts of provision of external rewards could
assist the employees to removing all barriers of the company in the industry in sufficient form.
They need to make use of some areas by which sufficient development could be gained
sufficiently. It makes great influencing on effectiveness of team behaviour of the company and
they are getting engaged with them in relevant form.
Intrinsic motivation: This is also one of the appropriate alternative option for BBC
organisation in order to getting motivated their employees in the team at internal level, so they
will be able to work harder for the company in more relevant form. They have some issues
regarding to serious falling of organisation culture and behaviour at the workplace effectively
and these situations are making negative influences on company's culture sufficiently (Salin and
Hoel, 2011). BBC organisational professionals require to making fully motivate their employees
in the company for their internal satisfaction level and fulfilment of their desired things in the
company effectively. They need to create an environment in which, its employee's could be
engaged with directly from one to another in the team in respect to completion of each task in the
company in more relevant form. They must be provided some effective learning to train program
by which they can effectively work in a team with using the latest techniques and approaches of
team working in the company sufficiently. These rewarding system assist the corporation in
order to formation of positive emotions to each others in a team and they are enforced to work
effectively in the team with collaboratively for completion of each task in the industry
sufficiently. BBC's organisational professionals must be given opportunities for presenting their
own suggestions in the company in order to necessary changes in team working condition, so its
improvement could be gained in more relevant form.
5

Maslow needs Hierarchy theory: This theory defines that, there are five needs which
could make influence on motivational level of employees in the company in effectively. There
are numbers of issues are being arising in BBC company regarding to motivation level falling
down of their employees in the company efficiently (Okurame, 2012). These fines needs are,
physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, esteem needs, self-actualization needs. All these
must be provided by the organisation in the firm towards their employees as per their sufficient
requirements in relevant ways. All employees of BBC firm's need to furnishing all physiological
needs to their employees in the firm, such as water, food, clothing ad shelters etc. these could
assist the business manager in order to getting proper development and filfilment of needs of
employees in the firm sufficiently. Safety needs also necessary factor for BBC organisation
professionals in order to generating positive working culture at the workplace effectively. There
are numbers of issues are being arisen in the BBC organisation regarding to its working culture
in the company sufficiently. Its professionals also need to furnishing of proper social values to its
employees in the communities which might increase the motivational level of several employees
in the business environment in more relevant ways. Moreover, they required to be given more
freedom at the workplace to thinking about resolution of problems in the team sufficiently. This
could assist the business manager in order to motivate their employees in the team for working
with effectiveness in the industry effectively.
6

M.2. Critically evaluate how to influence the behaviour of other through the effective application
of behavioural motivational theories, concepts and models
Herzberg two factor theory: Herzberg has been developed tow factor theory of
motivation for corporation in order to making motivate to their worker at the workplace
effectively. These tow factors are, Hygiene factors and motivation factors, both are essential to
be considered by organisational professionals in respect to increasing motivational level of their
employees in the company efficiently (Burrell and Morgan, 2017). In case of Hygiene factors in
involves some elements such as, pay scale of employees, companies policies and flexible
working hours and dress codes at the workplace which attract new employees to working with
loyalty in the company effectively. The employees must be given healthcare plans and benefits
by the organisation in critical condition which enforce them to increase their motivational level
within the business environment more effectively. Moreover, some essential motivational factors
are also existing in the company which is, its employees ought to be praised by manger to their
employees on completion of each difficult task in the company effectively. They must be given
appropriate growth and promotional opportunities to its employees in the company in order to
motivating them at the workplace to performing well in the organisation in sufficient form.
BBC's company professionals needed to be built relevant environment in which its employees
feel freely and working with confidence and enjoyment in the company sufficiently. These
activities might increase the motivational level of each employees in the team and also raise
performance effectiveness within the business environment sufficiently.
Vroom expectancy theory: Vroom expectancy theory defines about the results from
conscious choices among alternative whose purpose it is to increase pleasure and decrease pain
of employees at the workplace effectively. Vroom has been noticed that, employees performance
in the firm which is based on some individual elements such as skills, knowledge, experience,.
Personality and ability of completion of each task in the business efficiently. He has been said
that, employee's performance and efforts are interlinked to increasing motivation level of
employees in the organisation sufficiently (Lawrence and Lee, 2013). There are some expectancy
and beliefs which could raise the performance level of employees in the team efficiently. In case
of BBC organisation, they must having right skills for doing each task in the team effectively and
employees must be given essential supports in the team member in context of doing job in the
organisation efficiently. He has been observed that, of performance does well in the company

professionals need to clearly understand the relationship between performance and outcomes of
the business, as per its value provide proper working environment to employees in the company

next is following by superior authorities in the country in effective form. There are numbers of
issues are being arising in BBC company concerning to the cultural and motivational elements of
the company effectively. A high power of index could be observed in the company between with
power and without power in the company efficiently. From this index, it has been seen that,
power of executive level employees are perceived by high power authorities at the workplace
which gets demotivate employees sufficiently at the workplace. BBC company's professionals
need to make sure that, they need to identify those section by which its employees are getting
demotivate and make efforts to motivate them in the country more sufficiently in order to getting
proper development in some areas by which sufficient in performance of the company could be
improved efficiently.
TASK 3
P.3. Explain the different types of teams in within the BBC and its importance and what an

Varied types of teams are working in the company in order to completion of each
difficult task in the organisation effectively. In case of BBC organisation, there are different-
different types of effective team is necessary to formation in respect to completion of each works

marketing, finance, accounting and human resourcing, all these team have specific function
which is needed to be done in particular manner in order to accomplishment of their desired
goals and objectives in more relevant form (Shore and Wright, 2015). All these have different
types of responsibilities but, they are associated with same function of the department in the
company efficiently.

team efficiently. It must be formulated in BBC organisation as per its demands in the company
properly. Protect team should be built in the organisation for completion of its specific project in

BBC organisation could complete each difficult task in the company in more relevant ways. This
is most appropriate team working approach in today's world effectively. By which they can
communicate with each team members from various location in the country effectively and

understanding of the team behaviour and dynamic efficiently. There are four type of stages are
needed to be taken in order to formation of an effective team in the organisation in sufficient
form. These four phases are as following:
Forming: The first stage of Bruce Tuckman and Jensen's model is forming. In this first
stage, each team member behaving politely and positively in the organisation in effective form.
There are numbers of issues are being arisen in the company in order to formation of virtual team

Old team member are excited about to further tasks in the company ahead efficiently. The team
leader have major role in this stage, they need to give appropriate guideline to every team

work together in the virtual team of the company effectively.
Storming: In this stage, team member of BBC company might be pushed against their
criteria in the company in order to formation the stage at the workplace properly. This is the
stage in which many new teams fails to sustain further. In this stage, conflict situation get to
starting in this stage, as they start to working with their natural style. People start to working
with their separated different-different styles in the team and this becomes cause of several issues
occurrence in the company effectively (Kaur, 2013). With the existence of some
misunderstanding, each team member who stick with the task, feel stress and difficulties in
context of completion of each job in the company sufficiently. They need to establish strong

routine may exist in this stage and working in the team in more effectiveness efficiently. In this
stage, people of the team, celebrating their team collaborative achievements together in effective

TASK 4
a) The team performance and productivity could be improving in BBC
An organization the leadership maintain the all functionality or organisations, in the
organisational leader behaviour is the best for to employees work environments in order to
achieve goal (Burns, 2016). The goal is to increase employee’s motivation improvements and
satisfaction, so they become productive member of the organizations. In organisations leader
have ability to motivated their employees and also create positives environments. The BBC new
director have ability to maintain all the functionality of staff. The BBC established the better
environments for employees. Last few year BBC have complained form their staff. So BBC
improved their staff problems and maintain their work according to employees facilities.
11

M.4. Explore and evaluate how concepts and philosophies of OB inform and influence behaviour
in both a positive and negative way
Path goal theory:The path goal theory is based on leader's style and behaviour. Path goal
theory is based on expectancy theory in which an individual will act certain way is based on
acceptation. The path goal theory is first introduced by martin Evans in 1970 and further
developed by house 1971. The path theory can best be through of as process which leader select
specific behaviour that best suited to the employees need and the working environment so that
they may best guide the employees through their path in the attainment of their daily work
activities. As per BBC leader they also supporting their employees to achieve specific goals in
organisation and maintain their work. The path goals theory has following three steps:
1. Employee’s characteristics- Then employees interpreted their leader's behaviour base on
their needs. A great leader has to motivate their employee for hard work and their work
skills. BBC have effective leader who motivate their employee's have skills to increase
business and hard work.
2. Task and environment characteristics- The task environment is special focus on path
goals theory, leader needs to help their employees to select path to work around it. BBC
leader also helps to focus on their work and achieve goals. Those goals help to employees
career and their performance as well.
3. Leader behaviour and style- The leader adjust to the style of behaviour to the employee
and the task, there is four types of leader's style and task (Haji-Kazemi, Andersen and
Klakegg, 2015). First is directive, second is supportive, third is participative and the last
fourth is achievement. BBS leader have quality to support, give right direction and
having great achievement in organization.
4. Application- The people (leader) are flexible that they can change their behaviour or style
depending upon the situation. The leader is most important part of any organizations.
Team performance and productivity can have improved with in BBC: In BBC employees can
trying to encourage other. BBC have brilliant staff that might be encourage both employees and
leader as well. In BBC unhappy workers are going to leave. The happy worker more trend to be
productive in any company. In BBC who people are not happy to work in these organisations
they leave them.
b) The main barriers to effective performance within the BBC:
12

An effective performance helps point out area where can employee adjust their work and
fit his expectations of the business and helps to create blueprint that employee follow there in
few years (Prosser, 2016). The performance appraisal is good way to work employing and
developing a plan for future of the small business. There are most barriers of effective
performance:
Ignoring interaction- According to workplace manger and employees something gets too caught
up in the forms and the process of the performance and appraisal and leave out the
interactive portion. In order of performance appraisal to be productive for the employees and
the manger, it is important that both employee’s mad manager give their input together to
create final evolution. In BBC both are employees and manger work together, they are
express their ideas to each other and share other problem to each other.
Generalising- In this refer to that manger assume that employees present the following
task very impressively. And the manger understand that employees is also good communicator
they client very impressively (Holmes, 2015). this will reduce the problems of in correctness and
they not be accurate. To create an effective performance review, employee’s performance must
be taken into account separately. In the BBC the communication barriers are that employees
create fake impression and they react as they handled all the situation in communication with
client but the client is not satisfied with that.
Lack of preparation- A manager and employees need to spend time preparing for
performance. According to career skills and improvement resource site mind tools. Manger
should be remaining their duties and employees renewing their works. Employees made any
progress toward started goals. Employees should be spending time for their self-assignment and
keep notes throughout the year. In BBC the employers should pre pair their news articles and
study about that and the manger examine all the preparation who done by employees.
A balance need to communication between management and staff. The less
communication is going to staff in dark communicating and motivate or excessive
communication is leads information overloaded. For example, the BBC channel provide their
news in clear format and their new is based are true story.
Important Team Performance- Team performance is important because people who are
working towards they shared their ideas and common goals. They also shared skills in
complementary roles in corporation with each other. Good team work is essential for high
13

performance in any business. Business is profit or non-profit. Teams are brought other benefits.
In BBC there is also all employees work together or teams because they shared their important
informations and ideas or their technical skills which is mainly affects to their organization.
How can be improved team performance- The first step to improved team performance
leader requires commitment, conviction and the rest of team. First leader must change
researching qualities of high performance teams. To improved team performance leader make
sure the teams working skills and benefits which for their employee's.
Team performance in BBC- BBC employees work together they shared their
knowledge and their performance to adopts various kinds of information which is beneficial for
company and their growth. BBC teams workers make strategies decision which is beneficial for
their effective team performance.
CONCLUSION
From the above analysis, it could be concluded that, organisation behaviour play a vital
role in order to completion of each works in relevant manner. In case of BBC organisation, they
need to utilisation of Handy's cultural typology approach in the company in order to removing all
issues related to its serious falling down of culture in the company in more relevant form.
Moreover, this study also defines about how culture and power of superior authorities in the
company makes great impact in the behaviour and culture of the organisational department in
relevant form. Some essential motivation theories also presented here by which BBC
organisational professionals could improve the performance of team effectiveness in the
company in more relevant form. They need to implementation of suggested motivational theories
in the company in order to getting appropriate improvement in the organisational team working
aspect effectively. Beside from it, this assignment also refer to creation of some essential teams
in the company such as, functional team, problem solving team, virtual teams etc. in case of
several different-different purpose in the firm efficiently. Apart from it, this assignment also
reveals about some appropriate organisational concepts and theories such as Path goals theory
which could assist the business manager in respect to improvement in productivity and
performance of BBC organisation in the industry in more relevant manner.
