3PEOPLE AND ORGANIZATIONhas been committed to the deliverance of excellence in terms of services provided to thecustomers. The company also operated trough a wide range of products and services that reducedthe carbon dioxide emissions and even saved the fuel, electricity and water largely (Abraham2013). The functioning of the engineering instruments and machineries incurred a lot of energy,because of which the costs for implementing those were also high. The issue was thoughnegligible, still it posed to be a threat, because it delayed the construction project and even couldhave reduced the capital of the organization, furthermore creating more problems like beingunable to improve the infrastructure of the organization through necessary investments. This is amajor issue at the organizational level for Radian Oil and Gas Company in Saudi Arabia (Baineset al. 2013). Individual levelThere are lots of questions related to the industry fundamentals including macroenvironmental factors, maintenance of balance between supply and demand, regulatorymechanisms for managing the cost components and influence created by geopolitics. The pricesof oil and gas are reduced, which has created a huge adverse effect on the oil and gas industry ofSaudi Arabia. Crude prices reduced, which resulted in complexities related to the trade flow andother traditional suppliers’ concerns.

Discrimination is amajor issue that can create issues for the workers of Radian Oil and Gas Company at the grouplevel. This not only could hinder the successful accomplishment of tasks but might also preventthe organisation to obtain the outcomes that were assumed at the earlier stages during themanagement of a project. This might even delay the progress of a project and prevent thecompletion of the project on time (Basu 2014). Socially constructed nature of organisationThe socially constructed nature of the organisation means the theory of knowledge incommunication and sociology that can identify the development of jointly constructedunderstandings and make shared assumptions about the reality and origin of the organisation.The social constructionism theory enables to focus on the human beings perception related to theenvironment where they are working. The conservation of energy is related to the performanceof the organisation, which shows that with the management of construction project activities,there will be production of large amount of energy as well as many investments. As theperformance of the organisation is excellent, there has been production of huge amounts ofenergy too, which is considered as a major issue, because energy conservation is important forbusiness sustainability (Baumeister and Peersman 2013).
