Introduction:Organizational behavior is an essential topic that helps any organization operate its activitiesefficiently and manage the employees' roles (Afzal et al., 2019). Organizational behavior definesthe way of conduct of management and employees. Organizational behavior involves variousterms like organization’s politics, culture, and application of power as well. Without establishinggood corporate behavior, the success of an organization lags far behind. For this assignment, Ihave been selected as a Junior assistance in Mckinsey & Company, and I have to present myresearch variables to the firm for their future endeavor. This study will also reflect on thepractical research methods regarding the behavioral approaches of organizations & how theyprovide exposure to their organization by using these. We will also discuss the benefits ofteamwork and how teamwork can be enabled within an organization using different theories.4 | P a g e
LO1:1.1 Organization’s culture, politics, and power & their influence on individual and teambehavior and performance:1.1.1 Effect of organizational culture:When we hear about organizational culture, we reflect on the employees' behaviors, conduct,vision, norms, and beliefs within an organization. It also shows the way of their achieving goals.The following sections discuss the various components of management culture identified byHendy's model:Figure 1: Hendy’s model of organizational cultureSource: (Calvert, 2021)Culture of power: In a power culture, policymakers accumulate authority under their directcommand. In other words, a power culture is one in which judgment and control aredecentralized to management. Decisions are made quickly in this type of culture, but employeeengagement is non-existent.Culture of the role: Role culture is prevalent in tall hierarchical organizations where decision-making and control are distributed among employees based on their status and credential(Colella et al., 2018). For instance, at McKinsey, which is structured functionally, decision-making and management are highly distributed among employees based on their position. Therole culture affects the organization by employee involvement, which is one of the primary5 | P a g e
reasons they are motivated to work. Although the moral choice is slower, Mckinsey'sproductivity is highly effective.Culture of Goal: Organizations that form teams to accomplish goals or solve significant issuesadhere to the goal culture. Employees with shared interests and specializations form teams insuch organizations. Each unit is typically comprised of four to five members. Each team membermust contribute equally and complete tasks in the most imaginative manner possible in suchcultural values.Unique culture: There are many organizations where the employees feel superior to theorganization. They believe that they are more valuable to the organization than that organization.This type of culture is also known as dubbed person culture. These types of industries are self-centered and much concerned about their activities than the organization (Hiriyappa, 2017).Insuch a culture, The organization lagged and starts suffering in the long run. The employees haveno inner connection or emotional attachment with their colleagues or office. They go there toearn money. McKinsey does not follow this culture.1.1.2 Influence of Organizational Politics:Organizational politics define individuals' power and approaches. Corporate politics can have avariety of beneficial effects on an organization. For instance, the existence of diplomacy atMcKinsey & Group via union movement and workplace politics positively impacts employeeempowerment (Natvig & Stark, 2016). Trade unions protect employee rights, equal pay, equity,and justice. The positive influence of politics on employers persuades them to improve employeewellbeing and working conditions. For instance, politically influential employers in myorganization engage in various development activities to enhance organizational performance.On the other hand, the negative influence can result in corruption and abuse for personal gain,criminal acts, and favoritism.1.1.3 Organizational Power influence:The organization's power is the visible manifestation of its culture and politics. At Mckinsey, theleadership role persuades control to be allocated based on the employee's position. 6 | P a g e
