INTRODUCTION
The study of process of interacting with people within the group is known as
organisational behaviour. Both internal as well as external perspective of employees influence
the organisational behaviour. It is necessary for organisation to study the organisational
behaviour as it implies effect on the working environment. Along with this, it also analyses the
impact of behaviour on the performance of employees, motivation, organisational structure,
leadership etc. The study of organisational behaviour highlights the behaviour of employees by
performing several activities which leads to the development of motivation in employees. Such
activities result in the improvement in productivity of the employees. Majorly the organisational
behaviour has been studied for the purpose of establishing the relationship with stakeholders, so

The respective report is based on Sainsbury which is company of supermarkets of United

MAIN BODY
Identify the company’s culture in line with a theoretical model.
The values, expectations and practices are combined to form organisational culture and
provide guidelines to the employees to do the work in a specific manner. The culture plays an
important role at the work place as it helps the team leader to guide their team members so that
they can work together effectively (O’Donovan 2021). Handy's cultural model is being used by
the Sainsbury for the purpose of identifying the culture of the organisation. This model includes
four types of cultures which are explained below:
 Power: Under this culture, the decision making power of organisation is in the hand of
few people such as top management as they have the ownership of business. A special
privilege is provided to such people at work place. Along with this, delegating the entire
responsibilities to the subordinates is the another action performed by the people of
higher authority. Subordinates are not allowed to share their views, they just have to
follow the instructions of their superiors.
