like culture, politics and power have a great influence on the working and productivity of the
organization majorly (Melessen, 2017). Further, the report is going to discuss the culture, power
and politic roles in the organization which can making its impact on Primark.

 Task
All employees have a major role within an organization and they have to give their best
so that the objectives of the organization can be met. The tasks are allotted to those who can
monitor and making the functioning of the productivity maintained to their standards. It is very
essential that the performance of the employees are high so that the productivity of the company
can fulfil the demands and needs of the customers. Distribution of work has to be done between
all the team members of the organization so that the organization can reach their objectives from
time to time (Davies and et.al., 2017). Without having equal distribution of work there is not a
well maintained environment for the employees to work in. Primark has a well managed team
which is delegated equal work to all so that the working of the company is maintained.
 Role
The authorities in the organization have to be experienced and must know the employees
who are working in the organization so that the work can be distributed equally. Delegation of
work will get a clarity in the working of the organization and the organization will be able to
achieve their objectives faster (Anagha and Magesh, 2016). To increase the productivity of the
organization it is very important for Primark to have a strong team and that can be achieved by
delegating the roles to all the individuals equally. For example the leaders of Primark make sure
that the productivity is being maintained by supervising them so that the company can maintain
their standards and if the employees need help with increasing the productivity is also done by
the company.
 Power
The decisions which are being taken in Primark is being done by the higher authorities
which is demotivating for the other employees. There have to be experience employees in the
company so that there is a better productivity in the company and also have the ability to
maintain the position with power and does not misuse it. This can make the company have a
negative impact on the productivity as whole. It is very important in organizations to include all
the members of the organization so that the right and acceptable decision can be taken in the
business. This will make the team work increase and the productivity can increase as well.
 Person
There are a lot of individuals which feel like they are superior to others in organization
which is not going to make the organization function effectively (Aukhoon, 2019). This will
