3ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIORTask 1IntroductionThere are various factors which affect the performance as well as the behavior of theindividuals within a company or a business organization. Culture, power and politics arethree such factors which play a major role in the performance of the employees within aparticular company or business organization (Taras, Steel and Kirkman 2012). This particularsection of the report intends to shed light on the role which the factors like power, politicsand culture play in the performance as well as the behavior of the individuals within acompany or a business organization.Role of CultureCulture can be defined as the agglomerate of the societal norms and behaviors foundin the human society (Minkov and Hofstede 2012). However, the general accepted definitionof culture is that it is “the prevailing ideas, values, attitudes and beliefs that guide the way inwhich employees think, feel, and act” (Taras, Steel and Kirkman 2012). However, thedefinition of culture undergoes a bit of a modification when it is considered in the context ofthe business world. Hofstede gives a pertinent definition of culture in his theory “Hofstede’sCultural Dimension Theory” when he says “the collective programming of the mind whichdistinguishes the members of one group or category of people from one another” (Minkovand Hofstede 2012). Therefore, in this context culture can be seen a platform where theindividuals from diverse cultural backgrounds interact and connect with each other in a bid toachieve the best results for the company or the business organization for which they areworking (Hofstede 2013).
