P1 Critically analysis over the organisational culture, politics and power and their impact over
behaviour in workplace
Organisation have certain culture through which the business activities carried out, it is
important to have positive and inclusive work place environment, which helps to enhance the
business productivity.
Cultural model of handy:
Charles Handy believes that organisation is generally operates in a four culture which are
as follows:
Power culture: It refer as how power is distributed among the different cooperation level,
control is in hand of the few to management employees. Usually some organisation allows their
1

top seniors to make decisions on their basis, consider as the supreme who are responsible for
major decision. In such individuals so not have other options rather to follow the instruction
strictly (Odor, 2018). Employees do not have their liberty to involve in decision making, as well
as this culture is sometimes seen as partial inn which the managers use the biases to give
advantage to their particular favourite employee.
Role culture: Role culture define as where every individual has their assigned role to complete
their work in efficient manner. In such organisation divides their team based on their knowledge
and specialization. Employees in team are provided with their own responsibilities which they
have to fulfil in order to achieve the goals of organisation. In this culture Power comes along
with the responsibility.
Task culture: Organisation divides their employee in a certain team to carry out the effectual
team work. In such teams are developed to achieve their targets, it mainly forms on the basis of
common interest of the employees, which allows them to effectively communicate and resolve
their doubts related to task. All the members of the team have equal opportunity to contribute
their efforts and to give their opinion in every task.
Person culture: This culture define in this person shows concern for themselves rather than their
work. they work for their sake and do not shows interest towards the company’s goals and
objectives. In such organisational culture business suffers the most as employees do not carry
out their work in productive matter which ultimately impact the business efficiency of the
company (Shah, Khuhro and Bakari, 2021).
Therefore, for the Google UK ltd they can proceed to implement the task culture for their
organisation as it will allow them to divide the employees in a certain team on the basis of their
capacity and knowledge for carrying out the task. It is also beneficial in terms of the skill
development as employee works together and solve their queries so that they will be able to
make effective team.
