PART 1:
Lo1”
Organisation civilization, authority and political affairs and different motivation of the individual
and team within the organisation.
The employee behaviours gets influenced by the culture of the organisation , its power hierarchy
structure and politics by the member of the company. The organisation culture affects the
performances of the workers at the work seats and also gets exaggerated by the polities of the
company at work. In the context of the Ryanair, the manager look after the company culture so
that desire goals can be reach in the most valuable manners. the handy’s model is implemented
in the organisation so that effective results can be given by the workers.
Handy;s model: this model helps in understanding the companies culture in better ways so
that establishment are capable to attain the common goals and objectives in the most effective
and efficient ways. under this model, there are four dissimilar type of traditions which are to be
followed by the organisation which helps the improving the presentation of its employees. this
model will help the organisation to understand and examine the companies culture at the work
places so that effectiveness of the employees can be improved by giving them systematic and
1

health work culture where employees are intelligent to perform the task in the most effective and
profitable protocol and have focus on achieving the desire level of outcomes for the organisation.
in the context of the Ryanair organisation , they uses hardy’s model to have effective
organisation culture so that goals and objective can be achieved in the on the whole productivity
behaviour.
Power culture: here power in given to most senior manager and person in charge of the Ryanair
organisation and they have to make the sound business decision which leads them to get the
desire level of outcome in the most effective manners. these manager further delegates its role to
worker in the organisation and these employee have to track the order which are given by
superior manager and worker does not have a power to express their point of view in the team .
the power goes to those employee who holds some skills and knowledge about how to perform
the task in the productivity manners. the manager of the Ryanair apply this culture in their
management so that proper hierarchy can be followed in the organisation.
Task culture: the Ryanair organisation follow this culture, where the manager form the team
and group who are able to solve the critical problems in the management levels. The employees
who have to special skills and knowledge formed a group which assist in answer the various
issues at the work related places. The term is made of people who are expert in solving the
critical issues at the organisation so that objectives can be achieved. The work structure of the
Ryanair organisation apply this culture so that effective team so formed with helps in completing
the task in the proper manners.
Person cultures: under this situation, employees have a point of view that they personal goals
are more important than the organisational goals and objectives. The organisation who have such
culture in their management has to face the issues and conflicts which harm the organisation
objective sin the present as well as in coming years. Here the employees are more concern about
their individual goals instead of the system of government objectives to be accomplish in the
long run. With the references of the Ryanair company, some of the worker thinks that their
personal goals are important as they are not focus on organisation objectives
Role culture: as per this customs, the workforce are given function and everyday jobs according
to their skills and capabilities. The employee are focus on achieving the organisation objectives
in the most productivity manners. employees also have to face the challenges and difficult
according to their duties in the organisation environment. The manager of the Ryanair , provide
2

its employee with roles which are to performed so that task can be competed with the proper
manners.(Avery and Malka2015.)
Organisation power: The organisation power refers to process where employees are provided
with the some power to execute the task, under this stage, the employees required some kind of
power which help in opposite the task in the most successful and profitable manners. the worker
need some authority to run the operational activities of the organisation in the most efficient
ways. With the mention of the ryanair, the organisation provide some good power to the worker
to finish the task in effective manners.
Reward power: here the employees are offer with the rewards for their great inputs at the task
given to them. The employee feels motivated if their work is appreciated at the team and
encouraged them to enhance their contributing in the team work and gets rewards for their
affects in the management levels. This power helps in attractive the workforce to execute better
in every task which is given to them in the management levels so that ultimate objective can be
achieved by the organisation The manager of the Ryanair, give rewrds to ist employees for
giving their best inputs in the team work .
Legitimate power: the power in the organisation are in the hands of the most seniors and top
authorities who guides the employee to how to perform their part of task in the most successful
good manners so that final results can be accomplished in the most effective manners. The
ryanair organisation uses this power so that seniors people are able to manage its team in the
most effective manners.
Expert power: under this condition, the power is given to employee who are expert in their
skills’ and capabilities at the work places. The employee are more focused on competing the task
in the most effective as they have good knowledge about the task. Power comes with the skills
and knowledge in the team so that proper decision can be made for the organisation In the
context of the Ryanair , the power to execute the task is given to worker according to their skills
so that work can be done in effective manners.
Referent power: under this situation, the employees are given some power to influence the team
members soas to all the workers are operational towards the common goals and objectives in the
most efficient manners. here employees get affects with the action of another members of the
organisation (Bauman, and On 2016. ) The manager has a power to influence the team so that
they work for realize the universal objectives.

Organisation politics: The administration politics refers to the employment environment which
are followed in the companies work places so that they is effective hierarchy in their
management. the company needs to have a healthy politics which helps employees to perform
at their full capabilities’ at the organization team. The manager must look after its team and
inspire them to execute better in the given time period. the Ryanair organisation follow health
and affirmative politics at its management levels to influence the employees to perform their
best capacity.
The critical analysis of culture of the organisation as well as of power and politics have
affirmative and negative impact of the performances of the workers at the work connected
places.
The positive side can be that all the employees are working in the direction of achieving the goal
and objectives of the organisation as proper work environment is created and systemic hierarchy
is followed in the organisation to get the desire results .whereas the negative impact is that
employee may be de-motivated if their work is not appreciated in the term work and sometime
they started focusing on the personal goals instead of the achieving the organisational
objectives. The employee also misuse the power which they holds in the team which can affects
the performnces of overall team.
The Ryanair company can use the handys culture model in their management levels to get the
better and wiser results by improving the culture and having effective politics and power so
that employee can work for common mission and idea of the administration inside the set time
period. the organisation can have effective results if it applies handys model in its supervision
team so that all the mission can be finished as per the plan and reach the vision of the
organisation in the market places.
LO2:
Process theory : The definition of the process theory refers to the motivation given to workers
to accomplish better in the given mission and stay focus on organisation objectives which are to
be achieved.
The process theory of motivation helps in encouraging the workers to perform better in the
team to realize the desire level of outcomes. the Ryanair organisation uses psychological and
behavioural process which helps the employee to skilled the vision of the organisation in perfect
4

manners. company uses this theory to motivates its worker so that they can give their best
performs at the any level of task in the team. The process theory helps in motivating the
employees to perform better in the team so that desire outcomes can be achieved by the
organisation in the competitive market places. These theories helps the employees to work at its
full potential level which leads to accomplish the pre-determine goals and objective in the market
places.. (Pietersen,2017. )
The expectancy theory: as per this premise, the employees are to be supply with the rewards
for their good performances in the team. The main focal point of this theory is to provide
maximize enjoyment and reduces the soreness in the management levels to the employees. it is
assumed that employee behaviour is based on making the continue choice from the set of
possible alternative options available. The main object of this theory is that all the associate of
the government have a general assignment and idea of the organisation which needs to be
accomplished within the set time frame. These rewards can be in the form of financial and non-
monetary items for example, the bonus, incentive, holiday package.
The content process: It is a process where organisation have to provide the basic necessity to
its work so they are intelligent to execute the task in money-making manners.
here the basic requirements and wants of the workers are to be fulfilled by the organisation so
that employees feels that they are the parts of the company and their presences matters the
company and give their best inputs in the any task. According to this theory, the desires and
craving of the workers keeps on changing so that organisation has to provide the necessary
things which will help them to survive in the work surroundings and focus on providing the best
affects in the given task. The Ryanair company uses Maslow hierarchy theory in its
management team which helps them in fascinating the workers to perform better in the given
task.
Maslow’s hierarchy theory: as per this theory, the organisation have to provide the basic
needs and wants of the employee at the labour related places so that they be able to focus on
performing the duty and activities in the most efficient manners. these are the basic needs which
help the employee to complete the task in the most profitable manners and within the set time
period. The Ryanair organisation apply the Maslow’s hierarchy in their management so that task
can be completed in effective manners. following are some of needs which are included in this
theory:
5

Physiological needs: under these requirements, it engage the basic needs such as air, water and
clothes , food ,shelter which are needed by the employee to survive in the work place ,it also
helps in making employee more healthy mentally as well as fit . it is most important needs as
everything can be secondly in these needs. The manager of the Ryanair company , provide a
accommodation, food and necessary thing, so that worker can perform better in the work.
Safety needs: employees safety is essential part of any organisation as it helps them in
improving their inputs in the task in better ways and in effective approaches. It involve the
safety from the accidents and various type of injury and social security . The employees of the
Ryanair organisation needs safety and secure job at the work place so that they can work
properly
Love and belongingness needs: here the employees are to be treated with love and affection
which them employee feel that they are the important part of the organisation. this helps worker
to perform with positive vibes which helps them to compete the job in the most useful ways.
The Ryanair organisation make its employees feel that they are important for the organisation
and they belong to this organisation
Esteem needs: under this stage, the employee are made to realized their full capabilities so that
they can act upon better in mission and attain the desire level of outcomes. the organisation
make sure that employees are working at their best so that they can learn new things. The
Ryanair manager make its worker know their full potential so that employee work can be
improved in the team
Self-actualization: under this needs, the employees are made to realized their full capabilities
and help them in growing in their respective fields in the organisation. (Miller and
Caldwell2015). The worker of the Ryanair organisation are made to work at their full abilities
and help them to achieve the desire outcomes.
The critically contact of these motivational theories have various impact such as one side it
helps the employees to enhance their performances in the task by motivating them from time to
time and realization of their full potential at the work places. There are process and content
theory which helps manager as well as employees to perform better to achieve the desire level of
outcomes by providing basic needs and giving the rewards for their good performances in the
6

team. The Ryanair organisation is suggested to use the Maslow hierarchy so that worker can
perform better in the team and stay loyal to the organisation.
PART 2:
LO 3:
Influence on team effectiveness and concepts and theories of the organization behaviour:
The organisation perform its activities with the help of forming the effective and efficient team
which have a focus on achieving the desire level of outcomes in the straight phase of time. In the
another words, it can be ask that team is group of employees who are working for achieving the
common goals and objective in the most productivity manners. In the context of the Ryanair
organisation, its employers tries to have a effective team who have a focus on accomplish the
pre-determine objectives in the most effective manners and so that they can undergo for the
restructuring their airline by opening new four subsidiaries such as Ryanair DAC, Laudamotion
and Ryanair UK . in every organisation they are various team such as successful and
unsuccessful team or group who are responsible for achieving or not achieving the final
outcomes of the organisation in the target market places. The effective team is group of
employees who are giving their best in any task so that government are able to achieve the desire
results. Whereas the ineffective team is a group who lack the qualities of productivity at the
work places which also damage the organisation objective and have impacts on the long period
of time. Under the effective team there is systematic hierarchy which is followed in the
management leads to better achieving the goals and objectives in the most valuable ways.
(Qureshi,2015)
Comparison among the effective and ineffective team as discussed as below:
Basis Effective team Ineffective team
purpose According to this team, all the
employees are given roles and
responsibilities which are to
be formed by them to reach
the desire level of outcome .
Under this team , the
employees are not clear about
their roles and duties in the
team which setback the
presentation of the workers in
7

the work place.
Conflicts and issues: Under this , employees are
able to overcome any conflicts
and issued at the work and
tries to come up with the
better solution.
Employees are not able to
dissolve the issues in the team
which further increase the
conflicts at the management
levels.
Decision making This team is able to make the
good business decision which
helps in achieving the goals in
better ways.
Here the worker are not able
to make the sound decision
which delay the outcomes.
The effective team focus on having the strong communication with its team members so that
every members of the team know their part of roles and everyday jobs so that task can be
competed in the most money-making manners. the team are made to understand that Ryanair
organisation are planning to increase their airline business at various location at the international
market places. It is very important and essential for the organisation to convert the ineffective
team into effective team which helps them to accomplished the objectives in the proper manners
in the target market places. The Ryanair organisation are focusing on growing their business
activities by coming opening new subsidises which will help them to expand their operational
task in global market places.
The organisation uses the Tuckman model to form the team which will focus on achieving the
want level of outcome in the proper time. This theory focus managing the task in the most
profitable ways which helps in growing the task in the company.
Under this model, the team develop the maturity among the members of the organisation which
leads to better relationship at the work places and leader uses different management style to lead
the all the employees to attain the desire level of outcomes and within the perfect time period.
there are five stage which helps in competing and finishing the task in the most effective
manner. These stages are discussed as below:
Forming stage: under this stage, the organisation centre on collecting the significant
information about the task needs to be performed in the organisation. here employees are not
clear about their roles and responsibilities in the team and top-level of management takes the
8

most important decision about the organisation and make the plan of action which are to be
followed by the another employees to compete the task. Here the uncertainly is very high in this
stages and employees are researching for the leadership and need guidance to compete the task .
it is difficult for the employees to perform as they are unaware about the various essential things
about the task needs to be performed. In the context of the Ryanair organisation, worker are not
provided with roles which harm the work of the organisation.
Storming stage: here the various conflicts and issues comes up in the team which damage the
productivity of the employees in the organisation. the employee are working in different
direction which harm the objective of the team in the organisation. everyone is working
without any goals which affects the mission and vision of the organisation and also leads to
confusions and delay in the performances of the organisation. The worker of the Ryanaier
organisation, are facing the different issues at the work which reduce the effectiveness of the
team
Norming stage: under this stage, all the employees are well-formed about their roles and
responsibilities which help them in performing their respective duties in the team and realize the
desire level of profits by compete ting the task in the output manners. leader and manager are
appointed who are provided with the sub-ordinate who are going to execute the task in the
prefect ways and everyone in the team are aware about their roles and given some power to
perform their duties so that task can be accomplished in the most profitable manners. the
difference among the team members are dissolved by the manager and leader so that all the
members are working towards achieve the goals and objectives . Here the worker of the Ryanair
organisation know their part of role and duties which are needed to complete the task in the most
successful comportment and achieve the goals .
Performing stage: under this situation, the prefect team is shaped who will carry out the task as
per the plan of action under the guidance of great leader who will look after its team so that
performance are accepted out according to the plan. Here proper structure is formed by the
manager to its team members so that task can be done with the profitable ways and within the
set time . there team are formed who have to perform the task in the most effective manners so
that final results can be achieved by the organisation in the present as well as in coming years of
the organisation in the target market places. (Roth, 2017. ) The Ryaanair organisation, are
9

focusing on performing the all the task in the most effective ways and obtain the organisation
objectives within the set time period.
Adjourning stage: under this stage, task can be competed in successful ways and goals and
objectives are achieved by the organisation in the market places. Now, all the employees of the
organisation are getting free from their respective roles and duties so that they can join the next
project in the organisation. the winding up process is begin and all the team will be dissolve in
the management so that new team can be formed for the new task or the project in the
organisation. with the references of the Ryanair, all the worker have compete their task and
moving come with another project in the organisation.
The Ryanair organisation can uses this tuckman model to make the effective team who will
helps in achieving the goals and objectives in the most effective manners. it also helps in
showing how the particular task needs to be formed by its employees so that desire results can be
concluded by the organisation. this model will provide course of action to it employees who
will able to execute the plan in the most profitable manners at the management levels so that
organisation objective are achieved in the present as well as in the coming years of the company
in the target market places.
LO4:
