TASK 1
P1 Analyse of organisation culture, power and politics that influence individual and team,
behaviour and performance
Organisation behaviour evolves set of all practices and work that is aimed towards
improving and enhancing the comprehensibility of human behaviour and characteristic. The
main motive to monitor workforce performance is to develop strategies according to gap that
exists between Tesco goals and employees. So each department and workforce is motivated with
a particular strategy that fulfil organisational gap. In the present scenario, HR manager plays an
important role for formulating of organisation behaviour through maintaining positive and
healthy relationship between workforce and management. The main role of organisation is to
formulate effective atmosphere and also to generate organisation behaviour according to TESCO
goals and objectives (Brough, Brown and Biggs, 2015). There are three main factors is
considered by management which include Culture, power and politics. In context of TESCO this
are mention as follow:
Culture- An organisation culture considered shared values, norms, belief and vision etc.
which are formed according to inner internal conditions such as to interact with outer world and
also to analyse behaviour pattern of workforce. In context of Tesco Handy’s culture typology is

induced by management for understanding the work culture. Some aspects of respective model
culture are mention as follow:
 Power culture- The major concentrate of organisation is to keep power in the hands of
an individual who induce their order and define all manners through which operations are
performed. In context of Tesco, adoption of power culture aid management to perform all
operations in a systematic manner.
 Role Culture- According to role culture an organisation determines all roles and
responsibilities that is related with an individual and overall controlled with a single
person (Clement, 2014). With adoption of role culture, TESCO enhance performance of
overall workforce through delegating them power according to its capability.
 Task Culture- It refers to the culture in which project or task is completed and power is
shifted to the individuals according to status and individuals who are engaged in project.
With adoption of this, TESCO is able to improve their relations with all individuals by
providing information according to decide task that are completed by exchange of
information related with task.
 Person culture- The culture identifies all factors related with organisation in which all
professional perform their work according to individual capacity. Each person completes
their task according to expertise which relates with a specific field. Moreover, adoption
of person culture aid TESCO to assign all workforce according to work in which they are
specialised or expertise.
Importance of culture difference awareness- From the perspective of TESCO, it works as an
international retailer that managed its stores in various geographical locations. For this a large
number of diverse workforces are engaged in company operations (Dillon, 2015). It develops
differences among view pattern and ways that helps to complete task according to expectation of
workforce. The main motive of organisation is to formulate positive culture in workplace and it
help management to minimise the challenges, conflict and issue from the engaged workforce of
TESCO.
