INTRODUCTION Organization behaviour is the study of interface between human behaviour and organizationwhich helps to identify the fields including psychology, communication, sociology andmanagement. In order to manage all the activities, organisational behaviour includes concepts suchas leadership, motivation, job satisfaction and team building (Alavosius and et.al., 2016). Presentreport is based on GlaxoSmithKline which is headquartered in London that is a health carecompany engaged in the creation and discovery, development, manufacturing and marketing ofpharmaceutical products. This report covers a comparison of the structure and culture of GSK withother similar organisation. Further, it covers leadership styles followed by the firm. Moreover,comparison of different motivational theories at the workplace of GSK is studied and at last, theimpact of technology on team functioning within organisation is highlighted. TASK 11.1In an organisation, different types of structures and culture are to be followed which includeshierarchical, functional as well as geographical and matrix. A hierarchical structure means a personis authorized to one single entity in an organization. In matrix structure, it considers the firm inwhich employees have dual reporting relationship which means that they have to report both;functional as well as the area manager (Daft, 2010). On the other side, culture of organizationincludes the system of values and beliefs in which people have common understanding andrelationship. The workplace has an open environment in which they provide opportunities forsocialising amongst employees. There are four types of culture given by Charles Handy which includes power, task, personand role (Alavosius and et.al., 2016). Firstly, power culture says that in an organization, there isonly few people who are authorized to make decisions. Further, task culture refers to the firm whereteams are formed to achieve a particular task or goal. Now, person culture is the one in whichemployees feel that they are important for their organization as main emphasis is given on themonly (Anderson, Potočnik and Zhou, 2014). At last, role culture is that where roles andresponsibilities are delegated to employees according to their interest and qualification. In context of GSK, they follow a flat hierarchical structure in which there is few levels ofmanagement rather than multiple levels and another structure is matrix based in which employeeshave dual reporting relationship that means they have to report both the functional as well as thearea manager. In this type of structure there is exchange of efficient information and encourages in
the level of motivation of employees of GSK. On the other side, culture of GSK is task based whichis job or project oriented where teams are formed to achieve the set goals. The structure of organization can be defined as the way in which workers in business areorganised and relate to each other and also helps in the progress towards achieving goals of theorganizationTable 1 structure StructureGSKBootsFlat hierarchical structure refers to that in whichthere no or few level of middle managementamong the staff members and executives.In tall hierarchical structure there are many levelof the management including managers and allof them have less control on the activities.

Disadvantage of tall hierarchical is higher costsand reduced empowerment.After carried out comparison between the structure of both companies is different as pertheir nature. Both of the organizations have different structures such as flat and tall which is basedon the nature. In case of GSK the flat hierarchical structure of company helps in taking decisionsand there is clear communication between the management and employees. Further, there isdifficult employee retention which is to be negative aspects for them. On the other hand, Bootsfollowed a tall structure where different opportunities are available but at the same time it reducesempowerment.
