INTRODUCTION
In the present era of globalisation and conceptualisation, every organisation is trying to
maintain standard norms, culture and workforce in order to attain the leading heights of success.
Organisational behaviour (OB) helps the company to sustain long in the hyper competitive
environment. It assists the corporation to gain an insight understanding about the activities and
nature of its employees within the corporate place (Kondalkar, 2007). Furthermore, OB plays a
vital role in encouraging its employees to work with dedication and commitment and also helps
to maintain strong interrelations within the organisation. OB can simply be described as the
study of individual and group performance within a company. It is observed by the organisation
either through internal perspective or external perspective.
In the competitive scenario, it has become a growing phenomenon to understand and
implement OB in an effective way. Doing this would help the company to enhance its work
environment and increase its overall productivity. As a result, the firm would be able to gain
global exposure in an effective way and within the standard time frame.
The present report highlights the basic concept of OB in the selected organisation, Tesco.
The report focuses on the leadership and management theories essential for the growth of an
individual in the organisation. Also it helps to gain in-depth learning about the importance of
organisational culture in the corporate environment and how it helps the said company to
effectively manage its business activities.
ACTIVITY 1
1.1 An evaluation of leadership theories
Leadership is the systematic process of motivating the group members in an effective and
impressive way which fills them with the feeling of commitment and loyalty towards their work.
Doing this helps the company to easily achieve the success and create competitive edge in the
global corporate economy (Robbins and et.al., 2013). It therefore, becomes a mandatory
phenomenon to implement effective and vibrant leadership theories within the workplace in
order to create positive and healthy environment which leads the company towards the direction
of achieving success in the competitive economy. Undertaking impressive leadership theories
will help Tesco to build strong coordination and cooperation within its team members which will
help them to work together to achieve the common set of goals in an effective way. Apart from
1

this, with the help of expert guidance, the group members will be able to rectify their mistakes
and work efficiently to achieve the goals of the company. Leadership theories also plays a crucial
role in motivating the employees and filling them with the sense of trust, loyalty and
commitment towards their work.
There exist tremendous leadership theories which Tesco can undertake in order to gain
organisation's success. Some of such theories are discussed as below- Trait theory- It dictates that individual come out as a leader across different tasks and
situations; important individual leadership characteristics generally include skills,
intelligence, extroversion, adjustment, conscientiousness and self-efficacy. This theory
lays significant concern over the personality, physical, intellectual or social traits in order
to differentiate non leaders from leaders (Wood and et.al., 2010). The basic leadership
characteristics includes the desire to lead, energy and ambition, integrity and honesty
along with self confidence. However, the said theory possess no clear evidence of the
cause and effect relationship of traits and leadership.
 Behavioural theory- It is contrary to the trait theory. It explains leadership on the basis of
what they do, whereas trait theory describes it in terms of what they are. As per this
theory, leadership is the result of impressive and effective role action. The essence of
leadership is reflected by an individual's act rather than his/her traits. This is a systematic
and effective research strategy undertaken by Tesco which emphasizes on the behaviour
of the leader which is measurable. The following theory broadly includes Autocratic,
Laissez-faire and democratic leadership styles in an impressive way.
1.2 An evaluation of the impact of managerial styles on organisational effectiveness
Implementing an effective and appropriate management style is essential for the
company's success. It is often used to reflect the management working and functions in a
systematic way. Managerial styles is described as a set of principles through which the
management of the company capitalizes on the skills and abilities of its entire workforce. It is not
concerned with the overall procedure of doing a particular task but it focuses on the total
framework of the organisation in an appropriate way. Managerial style is a systematic way of
corporate life conducting its operations throughout the organisation thereby permitting an
executive to trust on the initiative of the employees of the corporation (Suppiah and Singh
Sandhu, 2011).

Effective and exotic management style reflects the scope to which a leader progressively
and continually directs and leads the employees towards the set destination. It is a systematic
approach of accomplishing the heights of success by transforming the available resources into
high quality and best outcome through the effective managerial functions of Tesco. The said
company considers management style as one the most distinctive approach of making relevant
decisions, formulating and implementing strategic vision and setting goal to beat its line of
competitors in the fast changing environment.
There are several types of managerial styles undertaken by the managers of Tesco in an
impressive and effective way. Some essential styles are explained below- Authoritarian management style- Under such kind of management style, the leader
formulates certain policies and norms and implements it within the workplace without
involving the subordinates and employees in the decision making scenario of the
organisation. This style is implemented by Tesco when it is facing various challenges in
the corporate world and does not get sufficient time to involve employees in the decision
making process of the company. Under such a situation, the management of the company
only give commands to its sub ordinates to get the task done on the given time frame.
This style creates negative impact on the mind of employees and forces them to quit the
job as they are least interested in doing the job with so much burden. However, this style
brings positive results for the company which helps it to attain global exposure in the
hyper competitive environment (Inesi and et.al., 2011). Democratic/ Participative management style- According to this managerial style, the
said company undertakes the core involvement of employees in the decision making and
problem solving process of the organisation. Doing this benefits the organisation to create
a strong sense of trust, loyalty and commitment within employees towards their work.
This helps Tesco to attain the highest level of employee job satisfaction and also allows
to minimize its overall employee turnover.
 Permissive management style- The said style lays its significant concern over the
employees and make use of their decisions which helps Tesco to bring innovations and
quality productions in a fascinating way. The subordinates and employees are get valued
and the management of the company treat them as core asset for the business rather than
cost. This management style focuses on implementing effective employee engagement

techniques in order to retain the best employee within the workplace which increases the
overall productivity and performance of the mention company in the tough trading
environment.
All such management styles creates a positive impact on the organisation. It increases the
effectiveness and efficiency of Tesco in the following manner- Increased productivity- The said company provides its employees with exotic
opportunities to take part in decision making process which helps them to perform the
best to achieve the set target (Butler and Rose, 2011). Doing this helps the corporation to
enhance and increase its overall productivity in an effective way. Committed employees- Such management styles impressively motivates them and helps
them to attain a strong sense of commitment and loyalty towards their tasks.
 Achieving the objectives- It also helps the company to closely accomplish the set targets
within the standard time frame and assist the company to maintain competitive edge in
the new international market.
1.3 An analysis of how motivational theory can inform employee motivation
Undertaking a vibrant and fascinating motivational theories will no doubt helps the
company to gain positive and wide exposure in the trading environment. Motivational theory
generally reflects the study of various elements of motivation which helps the employee to gain
job satisfaction at the highest level. It also helps the Tesco to retain the best and eligible
employee in the workplace thereby reducing its staff turnover. Motivational theories act as a
backbone to the organisation. In order to sustain long in the hyper competitive environment, the
company makes the best use of motivational theories which results in an overall increase in
productivity and performance of business operations in the global corporate world.
Some motivational theories which helps Tesco to achieve the heights of success are
discussed below-
 Maslow's hierarchy need theory- This is the most significant theory used by Tesco. The
theory lays considerable concern over various needs of an individual within the
workplace. It then takes effective measures to fulfil such needs and requirements in an
impressive way which helps the company to meet highest level of employee job
satisfaction and job enjoyment (Nair, 2010). Various needs and requirements of
4

employees in an organisation is reflected through the mention diagram in a systematic
way-
From the above diagram it can be seen that Tesco focuses on all such needs in the
following manner- Physiological needs- The company satisfies such needs by providing them with the
necessities of food, cloth and shelter in an appropriate way. Safety needs- After satisfying the basic needs of an individual, the company thereafter
put its efforts to provide a safe, healthy and secure work environment which creates
positive impact on the minds of employees. Love and belonging needs- The said organisation lays concern over rendering friendly
work atmosphere and considers its employees as the asset of the company rather than
5
Illustration 1: Maslow's need hierarchy theory
(Source : Robert and Josse, 2007)

cost. The company focuses on providing best work culture where employees are valued
for their work (Sharp, 2008). Esteem needs- After satisfying the above needs, Tesco render its employees with various
incentives and promotional schemes which helps its workers to satisfy their esteem
needs. The company provides its staff with various opportunities to gain prestige status
and recognition within the workplace and the society as well.
 Self actualization needs- The cited firm allows the employees to achieve the real heights
of success in their personal life (Tsai and Wu, 2010). It promotes the employee to gain
exposure in the competitive scenario thereby fully satisfying the self actualization needs
of an individual within the organisation.
By satisfying all such needs, Tesco is clearly able to motivate and encourage its
employees to work hard towards the common goal of achieving organisation's success in an
effective and exotic way. It also helps the employees to work with proper coordination and
cooperation to get the target done in standard time format.
 Herzberg's Hygiene theory- According to this theory, Tesco lays significant concern
over various hygiene (also called as de-motivators) and motivational (also called as
motivators) factors which either forces the employee to quit the job or helps employee to
seek motivation and produce the best outcome. A detailed learning of such theory is
explained through the following diagram-
6

By giving significant attention on all such factors, the said company is easily able to
reduce its overall staff turnover and increase its productivity. The company is also able to
produce cost effective results and implements effective employee engagement techniques in
order to retain the best employee within the workplace (Suppiah and Sandhu, 2011).
1.4 An analysis of theories relating to work relationships and interaction
There are mainly four important theories which relates to work relationships and
interaction. Tesco emphasises on all these theories to develop and maintain an effective and
impressive work environment which motivates the employees to work together in full
cooperation and coordination with each other to accomplish the common goal of the company in
a fascinating way (Shah and Ghulam Sarwar Shah, 2010).
Theories relating to work relation and interaction are discussed below-
7
Illustration 2: Herzberg's motivational theory
(Source: Riding and Rayner, 2013)

 Social Exchange theory- The basic concept of this theory is based on the ground of give
and take relationships. It focuses on the learning of social behaviour within the
workplace. The theory describes the relationship of an individual with some other person
in the organisation on the following perceptions-
 The balance between what an individual puts into the relationship and what he
gains out of it.
 The type of relationship he deserves in the workplace.
 The possibilities of getting a better relationship with some other person in the
company.
With regard to such a fact, Tesco has designed a well structured format in deciding and
examining the satisfaction level of employees within the group in which they are allotted to work
efficiently (Tosi, and Pilati, 2011). The brief description of such a format is explained below-
OL > CL Satisfied with the team
OL<CL Dissatisfied with the team
OL>CL(alt) Remain in the team
OL<CL(alt) Leave the team
Here
 OL reflects the outcome level of an employee (Rewards- costs)
 CL reflects the comparison level ( Subjective standard)
 CL(alt) reflects the comparison level of alternatives (CL of Next- Best
Alternative)
With the help of such a structure the said company is easily able to analyse the
satisfaction and enjoyment level of workforce within the organisation. By clearly analysing the
situations in an appropriate way, Tesco will select the behaviour which seeks to maximise the
profit in an impressive way (French and et.al., 2012).
 Uncertainty Reduction theory- It proposes that uncertainty arises because of new and
poor relationships within the organisation. The concerned theory lays significant focus on
building strong communication channels to reduce uncertainty and develop better results
in the light of organisation's success. In context with the present case scenario, Tesco
8

emphasises on establishing identifiable strategies in order to develop powerful
communication channels across the organisation. Doing this helps the company to reduce
the level of uncertainty and sudden downfall in the competitive economy.

oftesco is evaluated on different rounds such as performance of the organisation, the degree of
communication practices, operational efficiency and through using quantitative tool such as
Mayo High performance team work scale.
Performance of an organisation: Employees striving to achieve the organisational goals and
targets work in a team. Hence, in order to assess the quality of team working practiced in an
organisation the effective measure is to monitor the performance of the organisation. It gives
relatively precise framework of the coordination among employees. From the emperical dat and
other statistics it sis found that Tesco is growing with the very fast pace. Such as in terms of
revenue it is the second largest organisation in the world.

existence of effective team work. In this there is the questionnaire which is filled by employees.
In this extent of coordination is judged on different parameters covered by the tool.
3.4 An analysis of the effectiveness of change

ACTIVITY 3
2.3 An analysis of the culture and structure of Tesco and its impact on the organisation's
effectiveness
Culture is an integral aspect of an organisation. It reflects the personality of the company
in the hyper competitive international market. An impressive culture helps the corporation to
increase its productivity and reduce its overall staff turnover. Tesco possess a very supporting,
welcoming and friendly work culture. It helps the company to meet the highest level of employee
job satisfaction and job enjoyment. It therefore creates a positive impact on the organisation's
effectiveness and efficiency. The management of the company keeps a continuous check on the
measurements and control arrangements in order to monitor and observe the competence of the
employees and the managers. Strong communication channels and systematic meetings at each
level symbolizes a vibrant internal environment (Dwivedi, 2001). Because of such exotic culture
of the organisation, the said company is effectively able to streamline its business activities and
impressively control the operations.
Apart from its vibrant culture, Tesco also have an effective organisational structure which
leads it towards the direction of achieving success. Because the company is a large sized
organisation consisting of various number of organisational level and tremendous staff, it follows
12

a hierarchical structure to closely accomplish the set goals in an effective way. Each level within
the said company is owned and controlled by one person. The hierarchical structure basically
reflects the working of business in a systematic way where there is one superior who controls the
employees under him in a result oriented way. The mention diagram gives a beautiful
understanding of the organizational structure of Tesco-

ACTIVITY 4
4.1 An analysis of different approaches to organisational decision making
Tesco makes use of effective and impressive decision making approaches in order to
attain the heights of success within the standard time frame. Some important decision making
approaches adopted by the said company are explained below-
 Rational approach- It is a step by step and systematic process of making crucial
decisions in the line of acquiring the objectives of the company. It is based on the
assumption that the company is managed and controlled by the decision-makers who
possess complete and relevant information and are absolutely determined with the
objectives of the company (French, 2011). The basic steps undertaken by Tesco in
conducting a rational approach of decision making are listed below-
▪ Identify the situational objective
▪ Examine the problem
▪ Determine the type of decision (programmed or non programmed decisions)
▪ Generate the course of alternatives
▪ Evaluate the alternatives
▪ Select the best alternatives
▪ Implement the course of action
▪ Finally, control and monitor the plan
With the help of this approach the decision makers makes a strategic decision in a
sequential and logical manner. The insight analysis of various alternatives assist him to select on
the ground of relevant information rather than on the personal judgements or emotions.
However, the said approach faces the challenge of having improper or irrelevant information
with the managers which negatively affects the decision making process of the mention
organisation (Jokinen, Brewster and Suutari, 2008).
 Behavioural approach- Using such an approach for decision-making process forces the
decision-maker to make decisions on the ground of bounded rationality. It restricts the
inputs to the overall process of decision-making and emphasizers the decision maker to
consider only two or three alternatives because of time constraint (Gronn, 2009). The
decisions are basically made on the basis of personal logic and biasses. Therefore, this
14

approach is considered as less significant by Tesco as it results in disputes among the
employees and the management of the company.
4.2 An assessment of management approaches to risk and uncertainty in decision making
Tesco undertakes the major three approaches to manage its risk and uncertainty while
taking any major decision. The three most essential approaches used by the company are
explained below- Top-down multi-pass approach- According to this process, the top management of the
company starts the procedure by gaining deep understanding about the project. It then
makes decisions by considering the risk of the overall project in a rational manner. It
takes into consideration the major risk questions which may arise in the decision-making
process of the company. The company also undertakes the use of effective and
appropriate risk management techniques in order to answer the key risk questions. These
techniques are essentially used to modify decisions in order to provide a fascinating
shape to the project solution (Hebb, 2002). Quantitative risk based forecasting – By using such an approach, the management of the
said company lays significant concern over combining the implications and results of all
the risks in order to predict the overall risk arising from such a decision. With the help of
this approach, the organisation is able to generate confidence and committed forecasts in
an effective way. This model is also applicable for “what-if” scenario of the company.
 Risk register- This is one of the most easiest and flexible approach to manage the risk
and uncertainty in the decision making process. Here the said company identifies the
major risk factors and make the list of all such factors and finally enters them into a risk
register for assessing the risk and taking effective measures to properly plan and execute
the decisions in the lights of achieving organisation's objectives.
4.3 An evaluation of the effectiveness of organisational decisions in Tesco
Effective decision making is crucial for the company. It helps the organisation to attain
global exposure in an exotic way. Making and implementing a strategic decision helps the
company to easily attain the success and makes competitive edge in the global international
market. The effectiveness of organisational decisions in Tesco are explained below-
15

 Strategic decision helps the management of the company and the employees to work in
proper coordination and cooperation in the line of achieving common set of
organisational goal (Hess, Jepsen and Dries, 2012).
 It helps to build strong interpersonal relations within the company.
 Also, with the help of an appropriate and systematic decision, the company is able to
increase its overall level of productivity and enhance its business operations in an
effective way.
 Furthermore, it benefits the employee in a manner which satisfies the overall needs of an
individual within the workplace. It also provides an aid to the company to reduce its staff
turnover and retain the best employee for generating high quality results in the
competitive environment.
