IntroductionIn business organizations organizational culture is becoming a common term. It describes organizational dynamics, attitudes, principles and interactions. It is found that as individuals in an organization obtain positive organizational culture, people prefer to act in a similar way and thus aspire to pursue organizational success when they are attached to the organizations.Organizational culture also has driven to help meet organizational objectives and goals .In the discussion below, the impact of community, power and politics on people's actions, along with theories of motivation, are discussed and the successful team working, and organizational behavior principles and ideologies are addressed. Google, LLC, a US-based corporation, is an American multinationaltechnology company specializing in Internet-related services and products, including online advertising applications, search engines, apps, cloud computing and hardware.Figure 1: Google logoPage 3 of 26
Analyzing culture, politics and power influence individual and team behavior and performance in Google, LLCWhen formed as a group, each company is distinguished by individual activities as well as community of individuals. In fact, human behavior is dynamic, and each person is different from each other. Human natureis an important factor of corporate performance since it is the individuals who conduct the work of an enterprise for their performance. Regarding the actions of individuals and teams, it is seen that tradition, authority and politics are the main factors that control human action at person or community level.Organizational culture is a common idea that describes organizational nature, attitudes, principles and experiences.When formed in a society, each organization is distinguished by the actions of individuals as well as groups of individuals. In nature, human behavior is complex and each person is different from each other. Human behavior is an essential factor in organizational performance, since it is the individuals who do the work in an organization for their performance. As far as individual and team activity is concerned, it is seen that community, power and politics are the major factors that affect human behavior at individual or group level.Organizational culture is a common term that describes the organization’s psychology, attitudes, values and experiences. It is shown that when people in an organization are given a positive organizational culture, people appear to act in a positive way and therefore seek to achieve organizational excellence when they are attached to organizations. In Google, LLC, where a healthy organizational culture is given, this can be seen .The Business has a customer-driven culture in which all the people involved in the organization are making a real effort to increase customer loyalty, hire the right people and have adequate training. The company is complex and so it's always searching for ways to improve their way of working. It has also been noted that the Organization uses appropriate communication strategies to gather, gather and communicate the information needed to carry out business operations and provide workers with a productive work culture. Good corporate culture continually nourishes individual behavior. However, [ CITATION Kit17 \l 1033 ]has criticized the fact that organizational culture has a detrimental impact on the actions of individuals and teams. Internal competition occurs in the organization to achieve market competition, influencing the actionsof individuals and teams as each person and team is perceived to be a competitor.Page 4 of 26
Through this thought, the organization's success is negatively impacted and hence, organizational culture often plays a negative role in influencing the results by influencing the behaviors of the leader as well as the team.The positive atmosphere created by the Corporation influences an individual's behavior, because of which organizational interests outweigh individual interests. It is therefore recommended that the organization inculcate positive working cultures that can contribute to positive team actions in which the community of individuals work together by recognizing the point of view of each other, which in turn influences the success of the entire team.It is shown that Google, LLC's organizational culture has been adequately successful in shaping the success of the team, which is characterized by both individual and group behaviors. The company's customer-driven culture helped to strengthen the value to consumers that is made possible by successful teamwork that enhanced efficiency .Politics is another important factor, apart from organizational culture, that influences the behavior of a person as well as a team, which in turn affects organizational efficiency. One such company is Google, LLC,where workers who do not work hard use dirty politics to protect their jobs. Politics here implies the individuals' irrational actions in an organization in order to achieve benefits outside their influence. That contributes to a negative atmosphere. Regarding Google, LLC, it is seen that the company has a broad organization of many workers and the responsibility for its smooth running goes down the line of management. However, at each stage, there are many workers who are more interested in spoiling the reputation of individuals in front of others .By indulging in dirty politics, the Company's workers ruin the office ambience, which in turn affects the relationship between all workers. Employee negativity results in the negative actions of people involved in politics who are either the origin of politics or the victims. Individuals have a callous attitude towards each other that hampers their contact. They act differently to their peers and colleagues and there prevails a feeling of resentment and rage. Team conduct is often influenced by the fact that a lot of information is manipulated and not transferred in the desired manner. Because of which community acts in a negative way,supervisors get a wrong picture.The work of Google, LLCs as a team inspired all this. It is therefore shown that both individual and team actions are influenced by the organization's prevailing policies. [ CITATION Pet14 \l 1033 ]criticized the above argument, however, arguing that it is politics that helps workers develop in their careers as politics teaches Page 5 of 26
them how to work in business and how to be more competitive, which in turn influences both behavior and results.Power is another factor affecting the actions of individuals and teams, which in turn affects the efficiency of the company. As far as power is concerned, it is seen that the more power a person or team has, the more impact it has on the organization. It is seen in the background of Google, LLC that high-powered workers, especially senior managers, have a high degree of pursuit of power that allows them to regulate their own environment . Employee behavior is improved when the whole team is led by a strong leader.Page 6 of 26
