TASK 1
P1 Influence of power, culture & politics of an organisation and its impact on team behaviour &
individual.
INFLUENCE OF CULTURE
Organisational Culture defines values, beliefs, experience and assumptions that
contribute to the social & psychological environment of business. Organisational behaviour also
influences individuals & group behaviour and how individuals interact with each other in the
company. An organisation's culture is not rigid, Members of company interact with each other
share knowledge, beliefs & ideas and make changes in organisations culture if that not leading
the company towards success. It helps the company to achieve its goal (Burrell and Morgan,
2017)
Handy's Model for Organisational Culture defines Four type of Organisational Culture: -
 Power Culture- In Power culture, power is held by few individuals only and they
influence the whole organisation. Rules & decision made by these people is to be
followed by all the subordinates. In A M (Holdings) Limited, power culture helps the
company to make quick decisions and it is easy for the company to respond quickly on
1

any event because decision making is centred in the company and all the employees do
not have an option to express their views or ideas so, they have to follow what their
subordinate says.
 Role Culture- In Role culture, specific roles and responsibilities are assigned to each &
every level in the hierarchy, employees working at a level has to follow roles assigned to
that level and that roles continues even after employee leaves. In A M (Holdings)
Limited, this culture offers security & opportunities to the employees, For Example- If
performance of the employees is according to the required standard than they will be
rewarded on the basis of pay scale. But, with this culture sometimes, employees get
frustrated because these rules contain detailed structure of the company and are not
according to their interest.
 Task Culture- In Task culture, teams are formed with the objective of solving critical
problems and to achieve the target. In A M (Holdings) Limited, teams of 4-5 members
having similar interest & specialisation are formed and they work together with an
objective of achieving the task in the best manner.
 Person Culture- In Person culture, employees give more importance to themselves than
the organisation. This culture is followed in a company where employees are highly
educated and work with their own knowledge. Companies success is in the hands of its
members. A M (Holdings) Limited, not follow this culture because it cannot depend on
its employees and the company has its own rules & regulation.
Organisation culture influence individual & team behaviour. Power culture influence team
behaviour & individuals by facilitating quick decision making and giving quick response to their
problems and task which enhances performance of the individuals and team. On the other hand,
individuals & team members get frustrate because this power's and decisions are not according to
them and performance of the employee is recognised on the basis of achievement not on the
basis of their performance (Goh Ritchie and Wang, 2017)
Hofstede cultural dimension theory
In accordance with this rheory culture in organisation is influenced on the basis of
following factors:
2

 Power distance: It reflects unequal distribution of powers at workplace where different
levels of employees feels that theirs powers are distributed unequally and it arises a
situation of conflicts among members of the company.
 Individualiam v/s Collectivism: This reflects working environment where employees
develops selfishness towards their work which results in mismanagement and lack of
coordination among their members.
 Masculinity v/s Feminity: In this culture is based on tough and tender where women are
known as tender and males as tough which leads to disparity and impacts working
environment.
 Uncertainity avoidance Index: It expresses the dimensions where the members of the
company and their culture feels uncomfertable with the uncertainity and ambiguity.
Issues here arrises are that the future is unknown and it becomes difficult for them to
cope up with certainities that will come in the future.
 Long term orientation v/s short term orientation: In this culture of the employees are
affected on the basis of time duration allotted to employees which can be long term
orientation and short term orientation.
INFLUENCE OF POWER
Power in an organisation is using social relationship among the managers, leaders &
subordinate to complete the task. Management & Leadership are the factors that creates power in
an organisation. A M (Holdings) Limited use following power to enhance individual’s
performance and boost their morale.
 Reward Power- Manager of company has a power to reward its employees such as an
increase in pay, attractive job assignment, compensation, bonus, gifts and perks to
individuals and teams for their work which enhances their performance. A M (Holdings)
Limited also gives reward to its employees for their performance.
 Legitimate Power- This power comes from job & designation of the personnel. For
Example- Sundar Pichai has enjoyed legitimate power as the CEO of google This person
can set deadlines & the individuals & team has to follow this power whether they like it
or not.
3

 Coercive Power- Authority with this power can punish the individuals & team for the
non-compliance of the work. It forces individuals & team to meet the deadlines.
Power influence individuals & teams of A M (Holdings) Limited is based on Reward power
which helps to complete work on time and it also increases work efficiency of individual &
team. Individuals improve their performance every time when they are rewarded via
compensation, incentives, bonus, etc. Reward power also creates positive influence on the
individual & team behaviour. Legitimate power also influences teams. For example- Managers
of A M (Holdings) Limited sets deadlines for a team than that influence the team to complete the
task with in that time limit.
INFLUENCE OF POLITICS
Politics in an organisation refers to activities associated with use of man power to
enhance individuals & teams’ interest. Workplace politics in a firm is based on communication
between different authorities with its powers .In A M (Holdings) Limited politics is used by the
company to get work done on the time. It also promotes negativity on the work environment and
conflicts may arise in the company due to politics. Politics in a company is based on 4 factors.
In A M (Holdings) Limited politics is based on Organisational & Personal Factors. Negative
impact of organisational behaviour is that they are mainly focusing on individual interest and
agendas without thinking about their effects on firms’ efforts to achieve its goals whereas
positive impact is that its lets us aware about the destructive aspects of organisational politics in
order to minimise further negative effect in firm.
 Personal Factors- Politics spoil relationship among individuals because, employees do
not like persons who plays politics in the business. Due to some personal issues & for fair
pay employees do strike which affect environment of the company.
 Organisational Factors- Irrational behaviour of individuals in an organisation promote
negativity in the organisation.
Politics in A M (Holdings) Limited reduces overall productivity because it lowers output of an
individual, individuals & team pays less attention on the work due to politics. It creates stress
among the individuals & team.

TASK 2
P2 Content & Process theory of Motivation
Motivation generates desire to do the things, need of money & financial safety motivate
individuals to work hard. Higher motivation enhances production of the company and efficiency
of the employees. An individual can be motivated by rewards, compensation, higher pay and
attractive assignment etc. Motivation in A M (Holdings) Limited can be built by using two
theories- Content Theory & Process Theory. Content theory of motivation focus on 'WHAT'
whereas Process theory focus on 'HOW'.
CONTENT THEORY
Content theory focuses on the needs that motivate individuals in an organisation. This
theory not clearly explains what motivate or demotivate the employees. Content theory is useful
for the managers because it gives sources of motivation for each individual. The main content
theories are- Alderfer’s ERG theory, Herzberg’s two-factor theory and Maslow’s needs
hierarchy. Maslow’s needs hierarchy for motivation. This theory is explained below: -
This theory contains Five basic needs which shown in the shape of pyramid basic needs
at the bottom & complex at the top (Healy, 2016)
5

Illustration 1: Maslow hierarchy of theory
(Source: Abraham Maslow Quotes About Psychology, 2018)
 Physiological Needs- It includes most basic needs such as food, water, shelter &
sleep. According to Maslow our body and mind cannot work without these basic
needs. This need can be managed in A M (Holdings) Limited by providing employee
basic food and accommodation facilities when employees are on official duty.
 Safety Needs- After satisfying all the basic needs, company should fulfil safety needs
of its employees which includes a place to live, source of income, health & wellbeing.
A person seeks safety before employees makes any commitment towards work. This
need can be managed in A M (Holdings) Limited by providing medical aid, health
insurance and occupational health and safety.
 Social Belonging Needs- Affection, love & belongingness needs come when both the
above-mentioned needs are fulfilled. People need to be loved and be loved this need
is fulfilled by creating social groups and by providing group projects and social
events. This need can be fulfilled in A M (Holdings) by providing informal training
6

sessions for the employees so that they can interact and can built good and healthy
relation between them.
 Self-esteem Need- Humans need to be valued, respected, appreciated by others in an
organisation. This need is fulfilled by the company when the company recognizes
achievements and aby appreciating employees on the basis of individual performance.
This need is adopted in AM (Holdings) by performance appraisal through providing
incentives as bonuses, promotions of employees on the basis of their performance
levels.
 Self-actualization Need- Every employee in the company have a desire to grow &
develop to his fullest potential so the company has to fulfil these needs after
satisfying all the needs. To satisfy this need company provide its employees
challenging work on the basis of deadline and importance of project or task.
Firm A M (Holdings) considers this need in an organisation by assigning
different targeted tasks to different employees on the basis of their performance
level and provides them particular time frame in which they have to complete
that assigned task.
Maslow’s needs hierarchy for motivation
Strength Weakness
1.This theory takes into consideration human
nature its needs which Maslow’s theory defines
beautifully.
2.It is relevant in almost all the fields of work.
1This theory affects cultural differences as
them arises conflicts between different cultures.
2.In this theory it is very difficult to measure
satisfaction levels through any machines or
tools as it is subjective in nature.
Hertzberg theory of motivation
In 1959, Frederick Herzberg, a behavioural scientist proposed a two-factor concept i.e.
the motivator-hygiene theory. According to Herzberg, there are a few tasks that result in
satisfaction while there are other factors that forbid dissatisfaction.
Hygiene elements are the ones activity factors which are crucial for existence of motivation
at place of job. The major hygiene factors which influence motivation are pay, company policies
7

and working conditions. Motivator factors motivate the employees for a higher overall
performance. These elements are known as satisfiers and some examples of such include
recognition, responsibility and growth opportunities. A M(Holdings) also believes in effects of
satisfying factors and dissatisfying factors which affects employees in a firm. So it keeps
motivating its employees by upgrading their positions providing good opportunities for work.
And also takes cares about hygiene factors as salary, working conditions, relationships among
colleagues to keep them satisfied with the organisation culture and policies.
Hertzberg theory of motivation
Strength Weakness
1. This theory helps in eliminating
potential job dissatisfaction.
2. Helps in knowing the areas where
employees are feeling dissatisfied with
the culture of organisation.
1.This theory overlooks situational variables in
relation to employees.
2.This theory eliminates blue collar workforces
those are doing manual labour.
PROCESS THEORY
Process theory focuses physiological & behavioural process which motivate individuals
in an organisation. This theory addresses various issues related to how the process works &
sustain itself over the time. There are many types of process theory but A M (Holdings) Limited
use Vroom’s Expectancy Theory.
Vroom's expectancy theory: This theory was proposed by Victor H. Vroom in 1964. In
this theory people are motivated to perform to achieve their goals by choosing options available
to them. According to Victor H. Vroom motivation depends on three factors- Expectancy,
Instrumentality and valence. This are explained below-
8

Figure 2: Vroom's expectancy theory
(Source: Joy, 2019)
 Expectancy- This theory indicates that more efforts leads to better performance. A
company can motivate its employees so that they can deliver their best performance.
According to this theory employee can be motivated by offering them target based
incentives which supports motivation & performance. This aspect suggest motivation in
AM holding on the basis of deadlines and target based projects and if employees achieve
the target on the time incentives are given to them, this motivates people & boost their
performance.
 Instrumentality- Every employee thinks that there is a connection between the task &
the goal, if they give their best than reward will be given to them.
 Valence- It defines an extent to which an employee values the reward. In accordance
with this aspect motivation is managed by giving incentives, promotion, etc.
Vroom's expectancy theory
Strength Weakness
1.Employees expectations are boosted by
rewards and incentives which enhance their
performance level.
2.This theory dont works without active
participation of managers. Involvement of
managers is must.
9

2. In this theory employees voluntarily and
happily participates in work projects.
2.The perceptions of managers doesn't match
with employees as motivations and rewards
offered by the managers does not matches
with the employees expected level.
Goal setting theory
In 1960’s, Edwin Locke recommend the goal putting concept of motivation. The
principle states that goal setting is basically linked to overall performance.
In goal setting principle, desires should be set based on five concepts, they are:
Clarity, Challenge, Commitment, Feedback, Task Complexity. Thus, Goals setting theory
suggest and supply direction to worker about what needs to be executed and what kind of efforts
are required to perform the task. With the help of this theory company can motivate its
employees to properly plan their strategies regarding execution of the assigned task and what
kind of inputs they will need to implement that task successfully with effectivity. Systematic
alignment of activities boosts performance of employees which helps in managing individual
motivation with workplace results.
Goal setting theory
Strength Weakness
1.It aligns employees work in one direction and
motivates them to work for specific goals.
2.It helps employees to develops clear plans for
which they want to achieve and how they will
accomplish those achievements .
1. Focusing on two goals at a same time
creates mismatch among employees. It
becomes difficult to achieve both the
task at the same time.
2. Another limitation for this theory is two
vision side as while achieving goals
employees forgets to focuses on the
other aspects of their job.
In accordance with overall analysis of content and process theories if motivation, it can be
recommended that A M holding should incorporate use of Maslow hierarchical needs for
managing employee motivation. In accordance with the needs of model firm should provide
pantry services, lunch breaks, appropriate wages & Tea breaks. Further, A M holding should
10

focus on providing insurance policies, job security, safe working environment and retirement
benefits. With the help of this model firm should organise session of team for managing
performance and appreciation of individual employees.
Motivational technique helps in achieving business goals
 Intrinsic motivation means that the person's motivational stimuli are coming from within.
Thus, the personnel feel motivated and connected with company which helps in the
accomplishment of goals.
 Extrinsic motivation occurs when employees are influenced to carry out a conduct or
engage in a task to earn a reward or to be away from penalties, Thus, the personnel
perform with their potential abilities which leads to profitability for company.
TASK 3
P3 Effective team in reference to ineffective team
EFFECTIVE AND INEFFECTIVE TEAM
A team is a collection of employees, each of them possesses unique understanding; each
of whom is liable for making their own decisions; who collectively hold a common reason; who
meet together to communicate, cooperate and integrate information, through which plans are
structured, actions are decided and implemented (Burrell and Morgan, 2017). Organizations form
teams to perform obligations that are too complex for an employee to finish.
Team dynamics deals with the attitudes and behavioural structure of a team. it is
concerned with various situations like how teams are formed, what's their composition and
which approaches are accompanied in their functioning.
TYPES OF TEAMS:
 Special Purpose Teams: Special purpose teams of A M HOLDINGS are groups which
are developed to fulfil a unique purpose. These teams consist of committees framed for
accomplishing an exceptional event, or a committee that altogether clear up a selected
problem.
 Virtual Team: Virtual Team of A M HOLDINGS is a team which isn't always sitting
together, and do not have any face-to-face interplay. These are the personnel from
extraordinary cultures, special language and they are working towards a common purpose
with the help of digitized technology.
11

 Self-Directed Team: The self-directed team of A M HOLDINGS comes collectively on
their own personal decision with minimal input from their superiors. These aren't
formally assigned to a specific assignment. For instance, when they see a trouble; they
come collectively to form a team which collectively work towards that challenge.
 Cross Functional Team: In A M HOLDINGS these team consist of individuals from
unique departments of understanding. They come together for a short time period
foundation or sometimes they’re framed permanently. For instance, this team can be
composed of personnel from manufacturing, sales, advertising, finance, and legal
department. Thus, these diversified experience helps in taking innovative decisions.
EFFECTIVE AND INEFFECTIVE TEAM:
In effective teams, there are lots of discussion in which surely every personnel
participate, however it stays appropriate relevant to task of organisation (Mullins, 2016)
In Ineffective Teams, a few personnel’s have a tendency to influence the discussion.
Thus, their efforts are way off the task for which they are formed.
EFFECTIVE TEAM INEFFECTIVE TEAM
 The goal of the group is properly
understood and well-known via the
members.
 Ineffective team of A M HOLDINGS
find it hard to understand what is the
task, or what its goals are.
 the team members listen to every
different personnel. Every idea is
considered under the decision-making
processes of team.
 Personnel’s of ineffective team in A M
HOLDINGS do not truly listen to every
other. Ideas are unnoticed and over-
ridden by team members.
 In ineffective team There is
confrontation and indicates no
symptoms of getting to avoid conflict.
 Disagreements are usually no longer
handled efficaciously by the
organization.
 In effective team the leader of the
group does no longer dominate it, nor
does the team members refer unduly to
 In ineffective team, Leadership remains
absolutely with the group leader.
however, he or she usually sits ‘at the
12

him or her. higher position of the table'.
 Effective teams of AM HOLDINGS
are united for common reasons, dreams
and beliefs, with the understanding that
each and every personnel's contribution
supports the collective goals.
 One characteristic of an ineffective
team of AM HOLDINGS is the dearth
of harmony and cohesion.
A M HOLDINGS uses Tuckman team development theory to form effective team. Tuckman
model is proposed by Bruce Tuckman in 1965. It is one of the well-known team development
theory that implies that team manages a task from the arrangement of team to the winding up of
task. This theory is based on five stage of team development mentioned above:
1. Forming: In this stage the personnel of AM HOLDINGS is accumulated and the
challenge is allocated to them. Under this the roles and duties of team members are
unclear. Leader of team are prepared to answer masses of questions about the team's goal,
targets and external relationships (Kiweewa and et.al., 2018)
2. Storming: Under this stage of A M HOLDINGS team members voice their opinions as a
result of which conflicts may additionally stand up. The personalities of the group
members emerge individually when they confront every different thoughts and
perspectives. The team leader has a guiding position in this stage, thus He has to
encourage team individuals to discuss freely and to be broad-minded.
3. Norming: Under this style of A M HOLDINGS, Roles and obligations are clear and
common. Complicated decisions are made by means of team member settlement. Smaller
choices may be delegated to individuals or small teams inside group. Allegiance and
harmony are strong. The crew members of company also participant in amusing and
social sports.
4. Performing: Under this pattern of A M HOLDINGS, the team members are aware
clearly about why they are doing this task and how to accomplish those tasks (Goh,
Ritchie and Wang, 2017). may occur but now among team members but they are
13

resolved within the group undoubtedly, and necessary modifications to tactics and
structure are made via the crew members.
Illustration 2: Tuckman team development modal
(Source: Burrell and Morgan, 2017)
Dr Meredith Belbin and his team located that there are nine roles of behaviour - these have been
called 'Team Roles' Some of the team roles of Belbin are discussed below:
Resource Investigator: This role of AM holdings Uses their speculative nature to discover
ideas to deliver back to the crew. Strengths of AM holdings shows the attributes of ineffective
team like, Outbound, enthusiastic, explores possibilities and evolve contacts. Weaknesses of AM
holdings reflects the attributes of ineffective team like over-positive, and might get bored once
the preliminary enthusiasm has surpassed.
Coordinator: This role of AM holdings focuses on the group's targets, draw out group
contributors and delegate their tasks accurately. Strengths of coordinator shows the features of
effective team of AM holdings like Mature, self-assured, identifies ability, Elucidate goals etc.
Weaknesses of coordinator shows the attributes of ineffective team of AM holdings like the team
members are manipulative and may transfer their proportion of the work to other personnel’s.
14

TASK 4
P4 Philosophies & Concepts of organisational behavioural
Organisational behaviour of AM HOLDINGS is based on two essential concepts namely:
nature of people and nature of organisation (Svanberg and Öhman, 2016)
NATURE OF PEOPLE
 Individual Differences: This factor of company depicts that every human being is
different from one another not only in context of physical characteristics but also in
psychological attributes.
 Perception: In this factor AM holdings follows a famous phrase that ‘One man’s food is
another man’s poison’ which means that every person has their own perception.
 A whole person: By this they imply that it isn't always the talent or the intelligence of
the worker that is crucial for the growth of the company. Employees individual life, his
emotions, and many others, are similarly crucial to accomplish the goals.
 Motivated behaviour: A M HOLDINGS believes that every employee has so many
needs and desires inner him and they need to fulfil those wishes, thus it is essential to
enhance their quality of work by different motivational approaches so that it would be
possible for them to achieve those desires.
 Value of person: This factor of company says that personnel’s need to be valued and
favoured for his or her capabilities so that they could develop themselves.
NATURE OF ORGANISATION
 Social System: Two styles of social structures exist in A M HOLDINGS i.e., — formal
and informal. The formal structure is based on the authority—responsibility relationships
(Taştan and Davoudi, 2017). On the other hand, the informal system develops on the
basis of friendly relationship, communication, likes and dislikes of each personnel’s, etc.
 Mutual Interest: A M HOLDINGS believe that Mutual interest is developed by using
the idea that company need employees and personnel’s also want organization. They say
that People see organisation as a means to attain their desires, simultaneously, company
want employees to accomplish their set goals. Thus, it is a mutual understanding among
the corporation and the personnel that allows each to attain their respective targets.
15

 Ethics: They are the ethical concepts of an organization, and business enterprise. In order
to develop ethical environment, A M HOLDINGS set the standard under which they
perform their activities.
In order to meet these concepts A M HOLDING applies path goal theory in their organisation.
The path goal theory itself is based on expectancy theory which says that employees must be
encouraged by believing that they are capable of doing the work. In addition, the expectancy
theory implies that company must find out that what kind of rewards employees expect and
how these should be provided (Taştan and Davoudi, 2017)
Thus, path goal theory of AM HOLDINGS specifies four leadership styles namely:
 Directive leadership: This style provides instructions to employees regarding their work
and what is expected out of them, how the project is to be completed, and a deadline for
completion of work, etc. This leadership style helps employees of this company in
performing group tasks through providing road maps to them to increase the effectivity
and efficiency of the performance of the organisation. Autocratic leadership of AM
HOLDINGS is considered as one of the few management patterns in case of emergency
or quick choices to be taken. Autocratic management implies self-ruling. This leadership
style of company is characterised by giving unique commands to personnel concerning
what, how and when work need to be accomplished.
 The supportive style: This style of company emphasises on satisfaction of employees by
creating pleasant work environment and treating each employee equally irrespective of
their skills and intelligence. For example, with the helps of this style firm is emphasising
equally on the satisfactory and motivational factors which can create comfortable work
environment for Employees to work with efficiency and effectively. A supportive
leadership of A M HOLDINGS tries to reduce worker strain and frustration of employees
by taking proper action regarding their concern and try to reduce their stress by creating
pleasant working environment (Kitchin, 2017). supportive leadership is implemented by
listing to their personnel’s, providing them guidance regarding their work and
encouraging them for putting efforts. moreover, through this leadership company involve
employees in problem solving decisions of the company and considering their ideas and
opinions in accomplishing the desired goals.
16

 Participative style: In this style, AM (holdings) considers all the ideas and opinions of
their personnel’s and involve them in the decisions making system of an organisation
regarding how to achieve gaols and which path to follow to accomplish them. This is
applied by inviting all the thoughts and ideas of employees of firm and comes to some
valid and effective decision which can fulfil goals of an organisation. in this style of
leadership, A M HOLDINGS share authority of decision making with their co-workers.
A collegial system of company is characterized by means of surroundings in which
organisation and their personnel all work together as a group to clear up problems. A M
HOLDINGS conduct such activities that motive employees to feel comfortable by
sharing their different views and opinions. One benefit of implementing a collegial
management style is that the organisation will have high worker morale and gives a
fulfilling and supportive work environment.
 Achievement-oriented: Through this style of leadership, A M(Holdings) challenges their
employees to attain the pre-decided goals and motivates them to achieve those objectives
through their potential capabilities. For instance, with rgard to this style leadership style
in AIM Holdings company encourages their employees to achieve its targets of the
company through their inherent capacity of working efficiently to achieve goals of the
venture.
PHILOSOPHIES OF ORGANISATIONAL BEHAVIOUR:
The contingency concept put emphasizes on the significance of each the leader's character
and the situation in which he performs. It defines two types of leadership, Task-Stimulated and
Relationship-Motivated. Task refers to challenge accomplishment, and relationship-motivation
refers to social relationships. Fiedler evaluated leadership style with the Least Preferred Co-
Worker Scale (LPC scale.) The leaders who are scoring extravagant in this scale are relationship
motivated, on the flip side, those leaders who are scoring below average are task-motivated.
Contingency theory influences the AM holdings team performance in the positive manner.
The managers of the Company acts as a leader and guides the whole team. They show support
and concern for their subordinates and this helps them to improve their team performance. The
leader assigns the roles and duties to their employees through proper planning and scheduling of
the projects. Before making decisions they consider internal and external environment and on the
basis of that they took their decision and guides their whole team. This helps them to improve
17

their team performance and coordination among themselves. It also helps them to boost up the
team morale and this helps them to accomplishing their Company's goals and mission.
CONCLUSION
This report briefly summarises the organisational behaviour of A M HOLDINGS
inclusive of its culture, power, and politics. Further, it also describes how motivational process
help companies to motivate its employees and boost their morale. The report also comments on
how effective and ineffective team of companies work and it also describes how Tuckman theory
helps A M HOLDINGS in team development of company which is done through forming.
storming, norming, and performing. Moreover, this report also highlights two concepts namely:
nature of people and nature of an organisation which is explained through path-goal-theory that
helps company in encouraging their employees by believing in their capabilities. on the flip side,
it also frames about the philosophies that helps A M HOLDINGS in deciding how these tasks are
to be implemented.
