bringing new and innovative ideas at work placed or target is regarding accomplishing the
particular task.
In organisational behaviour there are four important elements which is to be examined

background and also their learning and capability is also different. Thus behaviour of
organisation is determined through this perspective (Marchington, 2015).
 Structure: In this the behaviour is examined in respect of sharing views and ideas with
superiors and in return their ideas and thoughts are appreciated and undertaken to bring
any changes in company working (Laforet, 2016).
 Technology: In this the adequate resources are provided to the employees so that they can

time. Thus, through the process of motivation, Sainsbury mainly adapts the Maslow theories of
motivation in which they satisfy the needs of the employees working at work place

working. In respect of organisational behaviours motivation helps in increased the productivity
of the employees by determining the usefulness of working as team and reducing risk by dealing
in any such matters (Chapleo, 2015). The impact of this aspects is arising in respect of increasing
the productivity of the employees and also it results in increasing the reputation and good will of
the business.

person thinking. As every person had the different thoughts and views to live their life and also
their needs are also different.
