ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOUR ANALYSIS2
Introduction
Organizational behavior can be defined as the study of the ways by which people
can act within different groups. The analysis of organizational behavior is mainly related
to the attempts that are made to improve the operations and revenues that are gained
as well. The report will be based on the analysis of relationships that exist between the
organizational behavior, culture, power and politics. The analysis will be based on the
context of the operations of an UK retail organization and issues that are faced related
to staff turnover as well.

the ways by which senior leadership and top management can develop their policies
(Alvesson and Sveningsson 2015). Power struggles are a major factor that has an
impact on the family owned organizations that operate in different industries. The rival
powers of different family members can have an impact on the power levels of the
individuals (ARCHER and CAMERON 2013).
Relationship between culture, politics and power
The stakeholders and shareholders of an organization are influenced in a huge
manner by the power and politics related factors. The issues that take place between
members of the top management can have a negative impact on the morals of the
employees. Employees thereby tend to lose the interest related to work due to the
power game that takes place within the top management of the organization
(Ardichvili, Nattoch Dag and Manderscheid 2016). The levels of attrition in the
organizations in which top management employees are a part of power games are high
and they are demoralized by this factor. The power struggle that takes place in the
