TASK 1
Determine the influence of the organizational culture, politics and power on the individuals and
team members behaviour and performance.
Organizational behaviour is define as the process in which different areas of the business
operations are been studied in order to make improvement in them with the motive to provide job
satisfaction and enhance their performance. In context of Google the company has started its
business in year 1998 in the field of search engine and with the increase in the activities it
becomes difficult for the company to manage all the operations. Hence it becomes important for
the company to focus on its organisational behaviour and make changes in its existing structure.
The company introduce a partner company named as Alphabet which has provided support to
google in managing its diverse work activities. The organisational culture has influenced the
operations and functioning of the Google (Bissell, 2012).
Organisational culture influence on the activities of Google
Organisational culture is define as the process in which the beliefs, values, attitude, etc of
the employees are been identified and evaluated within the operations of business in order to
control and monitor the activities of business. In context of google its mission is to provide each
type of information in the most desirable manner to the public around the world. There are
3

different theories of organisational culture and the theory demonstrated by Charles Handy is
been explained below-
 Power culture- In this type of culture the power is been allocated to few qualified
individuals in the organisation who are responsible to take decisions regarding the
operations of business.
 Role culture- The company which follows the role culture in its business operations take
decisions according to the rules and regulations which are been formulated by the higher
authorities. Therefore they work according to the rule book and this culture is mainly
followed in the organisations having hierarchical structure.
 Task culture- This type of culture is been adopted by the organisations which work on
different projects as there are diverse set of activities to be performed. The main motive
of this culture is to focus on timely completion of task hence the power don't remain in
one hand it keeps on shifting according to various projects.
 Person culture- In this type of culture the employees work together but they relay on their
personal opinions and function according to their professional capabilities.
In context of Google the company has diverse set of activities to perform so they have
adopted the task culture in its business operations (Butler and Rose, 2011). The company is
operating at global level and dealing in digital technology hence they understand the impact of
globalization on the culture of the company. Hence, they function according to current business
environment and the current marketing trends.
Hofsteide model of organisational culture
 Power Distance- This is a type of culture take place when there is need to distributed the
power among the skilled employees with the motive to complete the task on time. In
context of Google, they don't control there employees that is they have power to take
decisions regarding work (CHEN and et.al., 2013).
 Masculinity vs Femininity- It refers to the different values and beliefs of males and
females as they function differently in the organisation. In context of Google they
consider both makes and females equally capable of performing task and activities.
 Individualism- Many organisations functions on the bases of individualism and not belief
in team work. In context of google the operational activities are carried in teams hence
provide effective results.
