time. Task is very important, power has distributed according to task complicity so that it create
positive impact on firm to achieve goals and objectives in given time.
Person Culture:In company with people cultural has shows individual has see

2

Power: With in an organisation, management should be divided into level and each one
level has different power to influenced lower level employees. Management has develop policies
in which each one person whatever they are in lower or upper level can not used their power for
own profits (Chiang and Hsieh, 2012). But is a only rule, no one at work place follow it because
they thinking if they have power then they also have higher risk, workload etc. and superior
person has earn this position after many efforts and using power for their own prepose is a
