INTRODUCTIONThere are different types of issues that are faced within the organization. It is importantthat the management understand these issues and take appropriate steps so that they are able toimprove the performance (Belschak and Hartog, 2010). Present report is focused on Tesco whichis one of the top retails in UK and aim at understanding their customers and providing themservices accordingly. This report covers organization’s culture, politics and power that influencesthe individual’s behaviour and performance. Further, it covers applying concepts andphilosophies of organizational behaviour within the given situation.LO 1. Analysis of organization’s culture, politics and power that can be influence individual andteam behaviour and performanceThere are different types of cultures that are followed at various firms. These are highlyeffective enough to carry out the business and in maintaining healthy environment in theorganization. Culture within the firm can be determined to be the system of shared values, beliefsand assumptions that governs how people act or behave within the organization (Perkins andArvinen-Muondo, 2013). These have strong influence on people and provide them understandingto dress, perform and act in accordance with their job. There are different types of cultures thatcan be followed within the organization. In this context, it includes power, role, task and person. Power: As per this culture, power is given to a person and they are responsible to makesure that employees are able to achieve their goals and objectives. For exampleGoogle is thebest example of power culture. It may help in taking better strategical decision for thefunctioning of the company. Further, decentralization of power so that it do not lie in the handsof a single person. People working at lower level management can be given some responsibilitiesso that they can have some sense of belongingness to the entity (Zaleznik, 2017).Role: Each person is provided with specific set of roles that has to be performed by them.It enables to reduce the rate of issues or confusion and helps to focus more on work given. Tescofollows this culture. It helps Tesco in better functioning as all the duties being extended to theemployees are distributed in the well defined manner. It is ensured that the management andemployees coordinate and cooperate so that the best can be delivered to the customers in the end(Perkins and Arvinen-Muondo, 2013).1
Task: In this culture, employees are given with specific tasks that they have to completewithin the speculated time period. For example, HSBC follows this organizational culture(Perkins and Arvinen-Muondo, 2013). A team of 2 to 4 members is formed having differentabilities in order to achieve the objective of the task effectively. The division of the team clearlyrelies on skills and capabilities that are being possessed by the members so that goals can beachieved effectively.Person: Each and every person has their own set of capabilities, they are provided withroles as per their preference. It helps them in performing in the best possible manner. It alsoincreases job satisfaction level of the employees further boosting up their morale to perform aparticular job. They tend to perform the duties where they can use their capabilities andknowledge. It is has a positive impact on sales and profitability of the organization as well(Wood and et.al., 2016).Hofstede cultural dimensions theory can be determined as a framework for cross culturecommunication. From the findings, there are four dimensions that distinguish it from otherculture. The model is highly effective for the Tesco to set their culture in which employees areable to perform with their full efficiency (Parikh, 2010). With time, there are many changes thathave taken place in which changes are identified in the type of environment that should becarried. There are six dimensions of culture that have been discussed in this model. Thesedimensions are as follows: Power Distance Index (high versus low): The dimension discusses regarding unequaldistribution of power at the workplace where people having power utilize it to fulfil theirown interest. In case of Tesco this dimension of model is applicable as power isdistributed as per the role of the individual in the company (Sweetman and et.al., 2011).Individualism Versus Collectivism: Every individual at the workplace tends to work fortheir own goal rather than working in collective manner to achieve the organizationalgoals.Masculinity Versus Femininity: The work distributed based upon the gender of theemployees as some of the organization thinks that males are more capable to perform atask rather than females (Christina, Daniels and Waterson, 2014). The dimension is notapplicable on Tesco. 2
