Introduction: This report aims to understand the concept of individual and group behavior inorganisations, by the application of various theories and approaches. In this report, therelationship between organizational structure and culture has been understood, followedby an understanding of various theories, mechanisms and approaches in managingorganizational behavior.Capco was founded in 1998, by Rob Heyvaert and is based in Belgium. It appliesvarious strategies to make their organization work as a team. Teamwork in anyorganization is influenced by the behavior of its team members, along with structure,culture and management of the organization.LO1: Relationship between Organizational Structure and Culture [M, M2, M3] Task 1.1: Comparison of Organizational Structure and CultureIt has been found that as compared to other organisations such as Investtech SystemsConsulting, Capco has a flat structure. This has enabled the employees to have theadvantage of matrix groups to solve problems, as compared to other companies (Hatchand Cunliffe, 2013, p.1).

The organizational structure shows an arrangement from lower staff tomanagement, motivating the workforce, promoting the development of the team ineach department at Capco (Wilkinson et al. 2014, p.2). It is not only the structure but the also the culture at the organization that influencesthe behavior of its employees. Capco is a modern organization that employs masses ofpeople, especially the females, to work in the multi-dimensional services of financialand IT sectors (information and technology) industry (DuBrin, 2013, p.3). As comparedto other organisations, it has been found that Capco follows a natural modern strategyfor promoting their work culture, through four basic pillars - experience and learning,personal growth opportunities, performance and reward, and a challenging workportfolio. This is done by motivating the employees to perform well as a team, which inturn, helps to foster creativity, flexibility, long-term perception, risk taking andcompetency in their employees, leading to a positive behavior of the same at theworkplace (Schneider et al. 2013, p.361).5

Task 1.2: Relationship between Organizational Structure and Culture and itsImpact on Business Performance It is well known that the organizational structure and culture has an influence on thebehaviour of the employees. This, in turn, influences the business performance of theorganization. The flat organizational structure of Capco enables the employees todirectly communicate their problems to the management and other departments. This,in turn, leads to better efficiency and performance of the employee, boosting positiveorganisational behaviour of the individual. The reason behind this is the role culture ofCapco (capco.com, 2016). This enables the employees to enjoy the right to voice theiropinion with their innovative ideas and strategies, helping them to develop leadershipand competency skills to sustain in the company.The culture of performance and reward motivates the employee to work as a team, asthey take up challenging tasks to prove their skills and abilities regarding their workdomain, helping them to learn new skills (Bock et al. 2012, p.179). Further, core valuesof respect, integrity, knowledge, commitment and excellence help the employeesdevelop learning and technical skills, along with human and conceptual skills. Thisenables them to communicate and discuss problems, collaborating theirresources and working as a team. This teamwork boosts the business performance ofthe organization by collaborating their resources and working together as a team, so asto fulfil their allotted target within a stipulated period of time. This leads to a positivebusiness performance providing Capco with a competitive edge (Rothaermel, 2015,p.2).Task 1.3: Factors Influencing Individual Performance at Work It has been seen that the organizational behaviour of any individual is influenced by theperformance of the individual at the workplace.
