who are directly engaged in setting communication with the employees and providing them with
a direction and motivation to work in a suitable manner. Now, culture, power and politics are

top most authority in terms of further assigning the roles and duties. This culture if implemented

performance of the workforce in an individual and team manner. Besides this, it is acknowledged
to build trust and loyalty within the personnel as they are given work as per their expertise and
interest. When individual behaviour improves, the team behaviour automatically gets a boost.
Task culture:
It is kind of culture that witness formulation of strategies for resolving conflicts that leads
to generation of harmony in the firm. If this type of culture is adopted via Marks and Spencer
then there will be improvisation in behaviour of team as well as individuals. Employees are
rendered with opportunities for addressing interpersonal issues along with development of
healthy relationship among one other. The output that will be delivered by workforce,
collaboratively and individually will increase.
Person culture:
It is considered as pessimistic kind of culture via various researchers, as focus is laid on
point of view of individuals and not on the team as a whole. If such culture is opted by Marks
and Spencer, then this will boost up behaviour and performance of individuals. That renders
opportunities for development of organisational requirements. Culture creates adverse influence
