Organizational Behaviour refers to a study and analysis of behaviour of different people

which can be adopted by the managers so that they are able to achieve the goals and objectives
without facing problems and issues. It is diverse in nature and has several fields in which the
managers can specialize so that they are able to influence the behaviour of people in an effective
manner. By using it the management can target higher-level efficiency, effectiveness and
productivity in the company. This report is based on Versace. It is a British Company which

TASK 1
P1: Organizational culture, politics and power
Organizational culture-
It is a system of shared assumptions, values, beliefs and norms which can govern how
various people behave within an organization (Organizational Culture: Definition, Importance,
Types & Examples, 2020). Organisational behaviours is termed as the study that evaluated its
impact on individual's performance due to their diverse course of the factors like power, politics
and culture. Organisational culture is a team that involves values, belief and attitude that are
possessed by the management. As all management have diverse set of manner in working and
operating with diverse set of the tactics that are adapted by diverse business in respect to
accomplish managerial targets. Diverse managers have their own manner of encouraging
candidates and maximising candidates satisfaction. Workers who are performing in the business
are affected by power, politics and culture that are presented at the workplace.
It means the environment which is created in a company. For its analysis the management can
make the use of Handy's model. Its application in the context of Versace is as follows-
 Power culture- In it, the control lies with very few people in the organization. It is used
when there is a requirement to take certain strong decisions by the management. In
1

Versace it can be used so that the management is able to take the appropriate decisions as
per their requirements.
 Role culture- Here, the requirement from the managers is to make sure that they identify
the different types of roles which can be played by the different people in the
organization. Versace's managers are required to make sure that they provide specialized
roles to the people in the company which enhances their level of efficiency, effectiveness
and productivity.
 Task culture- This type of culture requires the management to be able to identify the
various sorts of tasks which are performed within an organization and make sure that they
are able to provide the tasks to the team members according to their capability level. This
will help the managers of Versace to be able to promote specialization within the firm in
an effective manner without problems and issues.
 Person culture- Here, it is believed that an organization exists just for the sake of people
who are working in it. In the context of Versace it is quite important so that the
management can fulfil the needs and expectations of the people who work for it.
Justification- The management of Versace should make the use of role culture in which
different roles are assigned to the individuals in the organization. In this way, they will ensure
that the specialization can be achieved within the company.
Impact on individual and team behaviour and performance- If a positive culture is
created within Versace it will positively influence it. However if a negative culture is created in
the organization then it will be negatively impacted.
Organizational politics-
These are different behaviours which are exhibited by the managers and people working
within an organization which can create an influence on their working pattern (Afshari and
Gibson, 2016). Its examples in Versace are as follows-
Positive example- If the employees working within Versace criticize each others in a
positive manner this can facilitate improvement and thus this can help in the achievement of
goals and objectives.
Negative example- If the managers of Versace only identify the shortcomings of the
workers without appreciating their strengths then this can impact their overall performance.
