2

CHARLS HANDYS MODEL
It is leading authorities on organizational culture, which defined various kind of culture.
It includes power, role, task as well as person and this theory is linked with the culture of the
organizational structure. There are four types which are associated with this theory and it is
explained as:
Role culture: This is typically characterized by organizations which have a high degree
of formalization and high degree of centralization, such as large stable businesses. There are
various well established formal procedures and rules and well-defined organization Maybelline
New York, which is the clearly understood and tightly enforced. The benefits of these such
culture is that employees understand exactly what is expected of them, and there are well-defined
processes and procedure to follow (Liu and Wang 2021).
Task culture: These organization are characterized by a high degree of centralization but
a low degree of formalization. They are typically quite flexible and result orientated and often
work on a project basis. Team dynamics are likely to be vary important to the overall success to
such culture. If Maybelline New York follow these culture, there will be no struggle between an
employee ans other team members of the organization. This is divided the task equally to each
employee and provided different departments to each and every task.
Personal culture: This is a culture lacking in formalization of centralization and is likely
to centre on a work environment which is self-directed and status driven. In context to
Maybelline New York, this organization in stable and predictive environments such as
accountancy as well as insurance benefits from this type of overall culture. It has benefits for an
that individual operates on a self-motivate basis so need limited formal structure (Piercy and Carr
2020).
Power culture: There are some organization where the power remains in the hands of
only few people and only they are authorized to take decisions. These are the most important
people at the workplace and are the major decision makers. This culture is not suitable for
Maybelline New York because it is very expanded organization and will not be successful
because there are various departments and and one loader can not be handle everything on large
scale (Wilder, 2022).
3

From the above discussion, it has been seen that if the Maybelline New York adopts the
task culture then it will be effective for manager as well as employees. The employees should be
aware about project in right way and there will be no struggle between other team members.

York, if power is giving to the
wrong employees then it
misuse of the informations of
the company that generate
complexities for the business.

power that change attitude
because of more dominance in
business.
It is directly impact on the
organization and use more
power then individual.

other team members because
each and every employee is
aim to work as a team leaders.

improves organizational
values, group decisions-
making and solving conflicts
(Tian and et. al., 2021).

creative but also are found to
be teams with the most
conflicts, confusion and
ambiguity.

the workplace pay less
attention to their work. They
are more interested in leg
pulling ans back biting

organizational politics that
may leads decrease
productivity, low level of
concentration as well as
cynicism.

Task 2
P2) Evaluation on effective achievement of goals by process theories of motivation and
motivational techniques.
Content theory of motivation- According to this theory, all the essential necessitate
related to the human is required to employ the changes in different factors through which
manager encourage the team to show more ability in their work (Baporikar, 2018). Maybelline
New York uses this content theory to encourage their employee's that result in completion of all
work in organization. This also make realistic approach towards goals. Some of the content
theory of motivation is listed below:
Maslow's theory of motivation – In context to Motivational theory, It signifies that
Maslow's perception leads organisation to get all the required needs and works according to the
definite pyramid (Fallatah and Syed, 2018). Different stages under this are as follow:
 Physiological need – It include the consummation of basic needs for a simple life like
air, water, shelter, food and clothes.
 Social need – It signifies love and meaning of belongingness with some other
individuals. In context to employee's social need, Individual should get motivated for
better relationship development with another engaged individual of company.
 Self-actualisation – It is identified by management that the individual with their
professional expertise can able to perform all the activities with more effectivity .
 Self-esteem – It demonstrate the worth of individual role and performance by
acknowledging self respect and appreciation.
 Safety need – It include health, job and financial security that help and motivate the
individual to work more effectively.
In the context of Maybelline New York, this theory is employed by persons for carry through the
necessities and wants of employee's in an befitting way. Through fulfilling manpower needs with
organised manner,The stability, capacity and ability of employee's are improved.
Herzberg's two-factor theory- According to the theory, Two different factor are there
which impact on manpower of company in context to satisfaction and dissatisfaction (Korezka,
2021). This two are mention as follow:
5

 Hygiene factor- The factor considers environment factors of an system, which are
necessary for motivating the employee's of an organisation. Absence of hygienic
environment demotivate the employees but presences of hygienic environment does not
retain the employee for longer period of time. For example- Essential factor of
workforce to motivate employee's are job security and equal pay that will improve their
working.
 Motivation factor- Motivation leads to create positive consequence for system and for
motivating employee's for operating their work with more efficiency. This factor will also
improve the inner strength and confidence of manpower so that, business used it to
motivate all employee's to achieve the company goal.
In context to Maybelline New York, the organisation should implement this two factor
theory in order to motivate the employee's and complete the needs and wants in
contented manner.
Process theory of motivation- from the perception of motivation theory, employee's
perform their work in organised manner (Gonida and Lemos, 2019). This theory will help in
motivating the employee's according to the company necessities, in order to achieve the company
goal. Processes for theory of motivation are as follow:
Vroom expectancy theory- This theory refers to the change in an person behaviour. It is
simple for management to complete all work, according to the necessity of an employee's and as
per ability and cognition of individuals. Further, this theory states that the performance of
persons is connected with attempts and performance of individuals. Motivation include outlooks,
power and instrumentation (Dodd, Guthrie and Dumay, 2022). So it is effortless for management
to benefit employee's according to employee's exertions
 Valence: Vroom signifies dependency on worker like the value for the reward which is
connected to a specific behaviour or results.
 Expectancy:All employee have different level of confidence and expectancy towards
their ability for performing a particular work. This will motivate as well as demotivate
the employee's.
 Instrumentality: Employee's motivation also get affected by the rewards they once
desired and the belief which have been promised.
6

On adopting V*E*I model, Maybelline New York can acknowledge the ability of their worker
and try to make employee's, belief in themselves, with assuring them suitable prizes for their
hard work.
Goal-setting theory- According to this theory, it is easy task for management to create a
long term constitution accompanying with development program. This also motivate the
employee's for effectively performing their work which results in motivated individuals with
improved performance (Weiner, 2018).
After analysing both process theory, Management has concluded that goal-setting theory
is more fruitful for Maybelline New York. Due to which employee's are more focused and
motivated to complete their work by using goal-setting theory.
For influencing the behaviour of individuals the analysis of motivation theory.
In context to Maybelline New York, Organisation should use Maslow theory of
motivation as a content theory. Meanwhile, process theory of motivation consider goal-setting
theory because it help the employee's for creating and employing more efforts towards
organisation goals. This is also obligatory for the employee's as it lead management to leverage
persons for controlling task according to the process of business. For example- individual
behaviour is easy to pull through controlling and fulfilling their needs as per company goal.
Moreover, the major view related with motivation theory is to result long term outcome because
individuals and organisation both are profited by employing strategy that leads to achieve
organisation as well as individual goals in specify time period.
