very important role in creating a culture and surroundings where people work. An organisation
consists of many individuals who are indulged in doing various activities and jointly they
contributes to the achievement of common goals of business. Likewise, organisational behaviour
plays an important role in an association where some business going on. Organisational
behaviour consists of the way in which people in a company have to behave in regards to roles
and responsibilities with job they've been working for. The way in which a person works varies
from individual to individual which have been stated in this word document. Various
management techniques and theories for leading people for maintenance of proper working

Hierarchy of an association is efficiently confined which set out of rules and directions
of an organization (Ashkanasy and Humphrey, 2011). The structure characterizes entire working
of an association. It decides means and procedures which can help to accomplish in a particular
time. It expresses line in which data is conveyed down from levels in an association.

The culture can further be described with reference to Charles Handy's four model
approach and they are listed below:
Power culture Role culture Task culture Person culture
The power is confined
in hands of a single
person who directs
whole organisation.
Centralised is at high
peak. Less

employees.
There is a role of each
and every person in an
association which is
taken at a very high
consideration. The
employees are valued
as they are
contributing in
organisation by some
or the other way.
Matrix and project
based structural
designs are high taken
into considerations.

accomplish the task
which is assigned by
the people who are
working upon it.
This is more like a
casual structure where
the people are working
for their own
development as well as
organisations welfare.
Decentralisation is at
high peak.
One more model that is Edgar Schein’s Iceberg Model can be used to demonstrate culture
of various types:
