behaviour is that it facilitates leaders and manager to identify level of contribution of individuals
within entity goals. It is essential for an organisation to effectively analyse expectations of
employees from entity. This will aid entity to satisfy employees need in effective manner
through which entity can accomplish their objectives with great efficiency. In context with
TESCO, it has been evaluated that executives of company developed strategies and policies

This culture facilitate organisation to allot roles as responsibilities to every individuals as

allocated according to position that has been held by them. With the help of this culture TESCO

objectives in given time period. This culture within TESCO facilitate maximise active
participation of every employee. In this entity can also develop team that share mutual purpose

compared to others. Workforce in this work culture considered their interests only and
encouraged to have their own welfare rather than working for the organization. TESCO working
