The motivation and the organisational culture are the two main elements which has very

Motivation is term which refers to as the process which involves guidance and proper support to
the individual which drives them to work effectively and efficiently. While, the organisational
culture can be explained as the proper way for behaving of the employees within the
organisation. The culture is basically consisting of the share beliefs as well as the values which
are framed by the leaders of the organisation which are then communicated to their employees.
The leaders have to be develop the positive organisational culture which supports them and
ultimately allows them to stay within the organisation. When there is positive culture within the
organisation, then this enables the employees to work effectively and gives more efforts to
achieve the goals of the organisation (Odor, 2018).
The leaders motivating the employees enables the employees to stay motivated and
inspired by their leaders. It is very important for them to motivate their employees as this helps

them in improving the overall performance of the organisation. This has direct impacts on the
behaviour of the employees and when the employees are drives positively by the leaders to work
hard, this helps them in improving the efficiency of the work done by them. The motivation and
the organisational culture are two main aspects which has to be considered by the companies to
improve the company’s performance as these both directly affects the behaviour of the
employees and through this the organisation is able to achieve the goals.
Unilever company is having very supportive organisational culture which helps their
employees to work comfortably and there is job satisfaction among the employees of the
company. So when the company is having better organisational culture, there will be higher level
of the motivation among the employees (Tortorella and et.al., 2021). The employees of this
company are continuously rewarded for their effective performance which shows the employees
efforts are acknowledged by the company. This leads to the promoting the motivation and this
significantly influences the performance of the company.
Various organisational culture and motivational theories influencing the performance if the
employees-
There are various models or theories of the organisational culture and motivation through which
the companies are influencing the performance of the employees by meeting the goals of the
organisation.
Schein Model of Organisation Culture-
The principles, policies as well as the ideologies which has to be followed by the
organisation form the culture. This is basically the culture of the organisation which describes
the ways through which the employees will be interacting with the other employers and
employees and also the behaviour of them outside the company. Schein believed that there are
usually three levels of the organisational culture such as-
Artefacts: This involves the characteristics of the company which can be easily seen and heard
by the individual these are known as artefacts. For example, office furniture, dress code of
employees, facilities provided and many more.
Values: This means the values of the employees within the organisation as this plays the most
significant role for deciding of the organisation’s culture. This can be the thought process as well
as the attitude of the employees which has very high level of impact on the culture of the
organisation (Nanayakkara and Wilkinson, 2021).
