This report is about 4com plcwhich is working for improving communication services of SME market of UK. Initially thisreport discusses about organizational behaviour in detail in which it has been described that howculture, power and politics can influence individuals’ performances in an organization (Agarwal,2014). To get work done by employees, this report describes different motivational theories thatare used to motivate individuals. Secondly, it focuses and differentiate between effective andineffective team, which is very important to motivate employees so that they can put up greaterefforts and perform their roles perfectly. Then study moves to different organizational theoriesand concepts which should be applied to each organization so that tasks can be performedeffectively and efficiently. TASK 1P1 Influence of culture, power and politics on team performancesAn organization's culture, power and politics influence individual team behaviour andtheir performances. Power and politics are to be considered as most unwanted components in anorganization but they are inseparable from businesses. They have major influence over behaviourand performances of employees and have important place in decision making. Organizational Power: This can be defined as capacity of members specially superiors,of influencing others so that they can work with greater efforts. Organizational power can beused in both positive and negative ways. If this power is used to influence employees like in4com plc then it is well and good and if organizational power is used by top level management toabuse or to control others, then it will have a major impact over decision making and workings of4com plc because employees then will not be able to work properly and freely (Bester VanZyl,2015).Organizational Politics: This is the process can be defined as process of discussingconflicts and differences of opinions so that they can be solved. Managers and leaders in 4complc are using organizational politics to resolve conflicts and issues among employees so that theycan work in happy working environment. Politics will have good impact over 4com plc if it has1

been used for sake of whole company but it will have negative impact if it is used to degradevalue of others. The organisation politics affects employee’s motivation and company'sprofitability. Bad organisational politics contributes in decreasing employee's motivation andhigh turnover rate whereas good politics in organisations leads to strengthen employee'scapabilities and performance. Organizational Culture: Culture of an organization is sum of common attitudes andbehaviour of individuals. This contains work structure, working styles, plans, policies, etc. of anorganization which must be followed by each and every member of organizations.Organizational culture impacts performances as it considers working style and environment. Handy Culture Model: This model was given by Charles Handy to determine impacts on teambehaviour and performances on companies of culture, power and politics. In this model there are4 types of organizational culture which are discussed below:Power Culture: Organizations following power culture are having power within fewindividuals in which they only have the power of taking decisions and these are spreadthroughout the organization. For example, employees of 4com plc are working in this type ofculture and have no option but to just follow already framed decisions. Task Culture: Organizations like 4com plc are following task cultures in which they aresupposed to be task oriented. In task culture individuals come together to solve or work upon aspecified task in which every team member must contribute equally and to complete tasks inmore innovated ways as possible. Role Culture: Organizations which are following this type of culture delegate roles andresponsibilities to each employee according to their specializations and area of interests. Andthey are wholly accountable for what they are doing. Person Culture: This type of culture shows that there are some organizations in whichemployees consider themselves to be most important parts of business which is not correct.Individuals in person culture come at their workplace, work for the sake of money and go(Burrell Morgan, 2017). They are not attached to organizations nor they are interested.Impacts of Handy Culture Model over organizations:Organizations like 4com plc are having different types of culture in their worksurroundings which affects their team behaviour and performances in so many ways (Christinaet.al., 2014).2
