INTRODUCTIONEvery organisation has a different organisational behaviour. Organisational behaviour arethe factors which affects or impact the performance of job, leadership and managerial skills,process of motivation etc. These behaviours are needed to be effectively handled because theyare very important and can have positive as well as negative impact on the business operations.BBC is the British broadcasting company and has vision to become the largest broadcaster of theworld. It recruits around 30000 employees in a year (Chapman, Johnson and Kilner, 2014). Thisreport includes Handy's cultural typology to understand the culture within the organisation.Content and process theory of motivation will be discussed. These theories are helpful inimproving effectiveness of the company. There are different types of teams which are importantto form in an organisation. Using organisational theory performance and productivity ofcompany can be improved.TASK 1A. Handy's cultural typology to understand the earlier culture in the organisation.According to the smith review earlier culture or behaviour of the BBC was verydisheartening. Handy's cultural typology was made by the Charles handy. In this typology hediscusses about four cultures that can be followed in the organisation. These cultures are:Power culture- In this culture only few people in the organisation have power to take allthe decisions (Densten, 2015). This culture does the partiality between some specialmembers and normal employee of the company.Role culture- It is the best culture to be followed in any organisation. Employees get joband responsibilities according to their skill and knowledge in Handy's role culture.Person culture- This is the culture where employee do whatever they want to do and donot think about benefits of organisation. They think that they are more superior from thecompany.Task culture- In the task culture teams or groups are made to do some task. In this allteam members have same skills to be used in performing the task.According to smith there are many complaints that are being recorded against the BBC.Many cases of abuse done by higher authorities of organisation had come in front of the publicwhich decreased reputation of the company (Hitt, Ireland and Hoskisson, 2012). Employees
working in the company were not satisfied by the management. Many skilled employees had leftthe job because of poor management in the organisation. According to the Handy's typologiespower culture and person culture were followed in BBC which is not at all good for growth ofthe organisation. Power always remains in the hand of few who were not at all sufficient to makethe decisions for the company. Employees of the organisation had complaint that managersalways make wrong decision to perform the task and never gave responsibilities and power to dothe task by using their skills. This irresponsible behaviour of managers and leaders of thecompany had made the employees lazy. Company started following person culture. Employeescame at job when they want to come and do whatever they want. They started treatingthemselves superior from the organisation they work for (Moody and Pesut, 2006). Manyemployees who were skilled and really wanted to work had left the job because of these culturesfollowed in the BBC. Smith concluded that their were many problems faced by the organisationbecause of incapacity of their managers and leaders.B. Affect of culture, power and politics on behaviour of organisation in past and in present.In the past culture, power and politics had very badly affected the behaviour of theorganisation. It is discussed that power culture and person culture had been used in the workingand business operations of the BBC. It had given power in the hand of non- efficient people whodo not know anything about effective decision making. It has also made some employees lazy todo the job efficiently. Many competitors of the company had influenced the politicalenvironment which had reduced the goodwill of organisation in the market. Political actions hadtaken against the company because of amount of abuses that are done in the business whichlately came in front. This states that culture, power and politics had very badly affected the firmin the past years. This snatched many efficient employees from the BBC. Politics can be alsodone within the organisation because it gives power. Using power in the negative way can leadto destruction.In present years also culture, power and politics have affected the organisationalbehaviour but favourably for the company. Now the company uses the culture which is best forthe workings of the BBC (Weick, 2012). It has hired many skilled managers and leaders tomanage and lead the organisation. Employees who now works for company are satisfied withprocesses that are being used in the business operations of the organisation. Now the firm ispolitically stable and maintains healthy relations with all its competitors. The management of
