A comprehensivediscussion will be made on barriers that can acts as an obstacle in the functioning of the teams. Inthe end, a brief discussion will be made on different types of motivation theories that can beadopted by BBC.TASK 1a) Organizational culture within BBC using Handy's topology.A cultural topology was prepared in 1999 in order to determine the prevailingorganizational culture in the organization. There are four major types or this topology which are,power culture, the role, the person or support culture and the task culture.Power culture: In this type of culture, power lies in the hands of few people and henceall the important decisions in the organization are taken by them. In these type of entities,the top level management get all the benefits. Further, no decision is taken by theemployees of the enterprise (Kinicki and Kreitner, 2012). Task culture: In task culture, the team is divided into the groups having 2 to 4 members.The division is made based upon skills and capabilities which helps in attainment ofobjectives of the entity.Person culture: Based upon employees of the company, all the decisions are made bythe top level management. Hence, employees plays major role in the decision makingprocess of the organization. Further, this type of culture also aims at giving healthyenvironment of working to the employees (Luthans, Luthans and Luthans, 2015). Itfurther helps in achieving the goals and objectives of the organization in the mosteffective manner.Role culture: The concept of role culture of Handy's topology states that everyindividual has its own roles and responsibilities. Adequate amount of authorities isprovided based upon the responsibilities being given to the individuals. Further, the roleculture also specifies that every person is given equal opportunity to perform their task1
effectively. Top level management ensures that coordination and cooperation ismaintained between management and employees so that the best can be delivered to thecustomers.The culture that is used by British Broadcast company is power culture which hasgenerated the gap between management and employees (Miner, 2015). It also increased staffturnover ratio of the company that reduced the productivity of BBC. Moreover, the conflictshave also arisen in the organization which had adequate impact on the functioning of theorganization.b) Impact of culture, power and politics affected the behaviour of BBCPower, culture and politics has a direct impact on efficiency and effectiveness of theorganization. Since, the power lies in the top level management of the company, it has directimpact on the functioning of the entity. Employees have no right to take their own decisionswhere their perspective is not considered in decision making by the top level management. Itreduces the satisfaction level of the employees (Pinder, 2014). It further reduces the morale ofpeople working in BBC as well. There are impact of decisions in BBC, which are as follows:Culture in BBC: Employees working in BBC are allowed to talk to each other at theworkplace. Hence, they share only formal relationship with each other and have no rolein decision making process. The organizational culture is quite rigid in BBC and hence itis required for the company to adopt better measures so that employees' satisfaction levelcan be increased. The rights of the employees can also be protected trough this method.Thus, complex environment for the employees should be decreased so that effectivenessand efficiency of the employees can be increased. Power in BBC: Managers in BBC holds the authority of decision making. Further, theyuse their power in wrong manner which degrades the performance of the workers. Theauthority hold by them is used in creating biased environment where decisions are takenfor the benefits of the few. It not only demotivate the employee but also increase thesituation of conflicts at the workplace. Further, due to poor policies followed in theorganization, the incidence of bully and harassment has increased at the workplace. Politics in BBC: The power is wrongly distributed at the workplace where the managersare allowed to take decisions. It has increased the unethical practices at the workplace.2
