Introduction
One of the most important section of any organization’s activities is the organizational behaviour
where the basis of the organization lies in the hands of understanding and influencing the work
of an individual thereby predicting their behavioural changes that may take place and the effect
that those changes may bring in the future developments. It acts as an essential human tool to
apprehend what each individual is doing and acting in accordance with the changes and how
their behaviour affects the organization both in positive and negative ways. To improve the
effectiveness of the organization, the employees are made to understand the potential risks and
consequences and use their innovative ideas to find solutions to it.
Task 1
P.1(a&b) Handy’s cultural typology,identify and discuss the earlier organizational culture and
Analyse how culture, power and politics overall have affected the behaviour within the
BBC
One of the main sections of any organization involves the cultural, political and
behavioural approach towards the employees which plays an important role in influencing the
developments within. In our chosen organization BBC, it was seen that in order to carry out the
management better, the organization has used the methods of campaigning and proper
collaboration in order to raise their voices and bring out their point of view to everyone to make
a suitable condition for work. Acknowledging the good work results in a better collaboration
between the teams, thereby simplifying the complex processes to have a significant impact on
their culture.
In every organisation the most important thing is the culture. For better understanding of
culture in the organisation the Charles Handy model describe the culture of BBC in the
organisations. According to these model, culture can be four types in the organisation such as:
(Pinto, 2016).
 Power: Organisation build with important key person decision and it will depend on the
person power. In organisation the power remain with higher authority and the decision
made by them it will be final and it may be the situation of the conflicts. In the BBC the
new appointed directors has taken charge to bring the better organisation culture with
more important to decision for BCC.
 Politics: these the most replicated aseptic in the organisation the points make the two
groups in the organisation and conflict will be arise in type organisation. It can be in
between the employees. Due to such con conflicts organisation is not able to bring the
working environment in appropriate manner.

 Person culture: In these culture organisation employees will give important to eh
organisation with this thought they will do anything for the organisation to achieve the
organisation objectives. As in the BBC the employee are not happy with the organisation
and some decision are not according to the employee but there are various key people
who bring the organization on first priority and they are always ready for performing for
employees.
 Task culture: In every organisation the team will be form that brings the culture together
by doing certain task. For such team members they bring the culture into the organisation
which is only importance of work.
 Role culture: These type of culture describe the employee's role and responsibility will
be divided according to their qualification and their potential to performing any task in
organisation. As in the BBC the top management is able to do better roles and
responsibility but the lower level employee are not able to understand their roles and
responsibility in the organisation.
Task 2
P.2.a) content and process theories of motivation.
Content theory: These the theory of motivation in which the different types of need have
described for the human beings. As the organisation context these there will be related on the
employee and they have various need to me fulfilled to motivate them
Abraham Maslow: He suggests need theory of the motivation in which employee have the
different needs which has to be fulfilled. These need can be such as follows:
Physiological needs: as these needs are the most important for the employees. Psychological
needs are included such as food water, shelter and proper sleep. Which is the most important
things for employees to motivate.
Safety needs: in the organisation the most important aspect to give employee is the safety and it will
benefit to the organisation if these need have been fulfilled.
Social need: these need is also important for the organisation in which the employee have their
family and friends.
Esteem: Every individual need respect in the organisation. As all the employee feel some valued in their
organisation which will brings the major changes in their performance.
Self-satisfaction: Each and every individual have potential and skill in them. Organisation have
to give chance to perform the employee according to their potential.
