LO 1
Influence of culture, politics and power influence individual and team behaviour with
performances
Organisational culture, power and politics influence functions of the business within the
enterprise. An ipact of these elements directly reflect on culture of the business. Therefore, ways
in which people increase and shape with social experience determines cultural effects (Oeij,
Dhondt and Vroome, 2016). Organisation's culture in A David & Co Limited refers as a system
in which shared assumptions, values and beliefs show that staff members have appropriate and
inappropriate behaviour.
An influence of culture
Culture in company can be discussed with the help of Hany cultural Typology according
to which there are four types of culture in an organisation that is power, person, task and role
1

(Rondina, Curtiss and Ryan, 2017). Role culture of David A company Limited is based on
delegation of authorities by management which sometimes leads to overpowering behaviour of
superiors and creates negative workplace environment. Person culture of company is focuses on
individual capabilities and skills which aid in managing positive attitude of a employees towards
work. However, task culture of David A company Limited is based on problem solving ability of
teams at workplace which is effective as the firm offers flexible working environment to
employees. Further, there is power culture which leads to negative impact on employee work
attitude as in this top and middle management of firm concentrate of giving power to few
employees which sometimes to favouritism (Organizational Culture and Its Impact on Team
Performance, 2019).
Thus, individual, team and organisational of David A company Limited is majorly
influenced by power culture because in this specific preference is given to specific employee
which leads to employees’ conflicts. Therefore, individuals are unable to coordinate with team
and also unable to put in completely efforts due to personal grudges which impact work
productivity which is directly proportional to decreasing organisational performance.
Influence of politics
Organisational politics are informal, unofficial which exists behind the efforts to sell
ideas and influence the enterprise. It increases power and accomplish targeted objectives. Politics
is an important part of the organisational life which made up with different interests that are need
to be aligned. In positive political influences, proper procedures followed which perceived with
the organisation's resources that consider rewards and recognition (Oeij, Dhondt and Vroome,
2016). On the other hand, the negative size of organisational politics in A David & Co Limited
impact on decisions that are difficult to take. David A company limited in influenced structural
politics where there is hierarchical management of work and employees. In accordance with this
type of politics management end up taking harsh decision without involving lower level
employees which increases work pressure and leads to negative workplace environment.
Thus, it can be said that individual performance is hampered by structural politics
because in this the person is unaware about the changes and sudden changes leads to resistance.
Moreover, when employees work in team then specific decision by management impact’s
coordination and cooperation which leads to mis management and impact individuals as well as
productivity of group which influence organisational performance.
