INTRODUCTION
In context of business environment it is identified that there are various factors which
are directly related to performance of the organisation as well as its productivity. It is
mandatory for every organisation to identify and evaluate different kind of factors which
impact on the productivity and will lead to help the organisation in improving its practices
and functions (Astuti and Istiyono, 2020). In context of this there are various factors which
have to be considered by the organisation which include personal environment as well as
behaviour factor that can be impact on organisational performance. The current report is
based on case study of Tesco. It is a global organisation which is performing its function at
global level under the retail chain. Is a British multinational company which was founded by
jack Cohen in 1919. The current report will consider in the personnel environment and
behaviour factor from bandura's social cognitive theory.
MAIN BODY
It is analysed from the case study that there are different kind of factors which are
related to influence on the performance of business and will impact on the capacity of
organisation to attract the customer and achieve its desired goals within the market where it is
trading. It is identified from the case study of Tesco that organisation is performing its
function at global level where there are different aspects and elements that will influence the
productivity of business (Boateng, 2016). It is also assisted that in order to enhancing the
overall performance of business and achieving the desired goals organisation is performing
its function in a proper set of frame. In context of the current business environment the major
factors which influence on the performance of organisation are the personal environmental
and behavioural systems. It is also identified that they have direct influence on the
performance of the company which will impact on its decision making abilities. This makes it
essential for organisation to perform its function in an appropriate way and achieve the
objectives according to the current requirements of business environment. This is also
identified that in order to make the corrective decisions as well as performing the
organisational function in a beneficial way organisation require an appropriate system to
grow its business within the environment and behaviour factors.

Bandura social cognitive theory was developed by Albert bandura in 1977. This
theory is related to the concept of behaviourist learning theory and will use under the function
of classical conditioning as well as operant conditioning theory is. In context to this theory it
was a theory which is based on behavioural approach where it at two important ideas in
relation to mediating process which occur between the stimulus and response (Bratton,,
2016). This theory is related to in functions of behaviourist in which it include the behaviour
is learnt from the environment but considering the process of observational learning. It is an
appropriate model which was developed in order to find the needs according to the
consideration of children as a modern. In accordance with this model there are various
elements which are considered under the theory which impact on overall performance and
help the organisation in order to identify the behaviour of a person. For instance at children
surrounded by different influential aspect that include family members parents friends TV
characters and many other will always lead to significant impact on their behaviour which
impact on their performance. Under this model it is identified that behaviour is impacted in
accordance with various factors which also shows muscularity, feminists, pros, antisocial and
various other aspects of the behaviour of an individual (Zewail-Foote, 2020).
These factors direct influence on the organisational performance as well as
achievement of its goals and objective in the current business environment. It is analysed
from the mentioned case study that management within the test quiz using appropriate
function in order to maintain the functioning and achieve the objectives in accordance with
the requirements full stuff this is analysed that this theory is helpful to the firm in managing
different situations and using them in accordance with the current requirements of the
organisation and performing its function (Hockenbury, Nolan, 2018).
Also across two real-worlds, observational studies conducted in student
canteens it was observed that the presentation of social norm messages was associated with a
small effect on increased purchases of meals containing vegetables and side portions of
vegetables whereas the introduction of a health message was associated only with an
increased purchase of side portion of vegetables. This is one of the first attempts to test the
effects of such messages in real-world contexts. Limitations of the study design prevent us
from being able to rule out alternative explanations for the overall pattern of results and so we
conclude by suggesting that any further tests of social-norm approaches to encouraging
healthier eating must now involve larger-scale testing at multiple sites using a randomised
controlled design (Thomas, Liu & Higgs, 2016).

Bandura social cognitive theory is also helpful to the organisation in determining the
importance of motivation and mental state of employees. This theory analyses that in order to
determine the behaviour of different individual it is also essential to study their mental state
within the organisation in relation to the performance as well as work assigned to them. This
theory states that by leading the individual is important by the leader to direct the impact of
their leading as well as analyse the work burden on different individual so that a motivated
and coordinated environment can be established and the goals and objectives can be
achieved. This is also identified that by improving the learning process organisation can
improve personal satisfaction and provide appropriate environment which can be used in
order to work at different locations within the organisation (Thomas, Liu & Higgs, 2016).
This theory states that it by identifying the current culture and improving the potential
resources this will help the organisation in improving its function as well as achieving
appropriate level of motivation within the employee so that they can perform the functions in
accordance with the needs and requirements of the organisation and achieving better results
in future. This is also analysed that this theory focus on internal capacities of organisation
which help in building an appropriate system so that organisation can easily improve its
function and achieve the goals and objectives in a desired time. Through this personal factor
it include number of elements which related to the internal capabilities and potential of
different individual so that behaviour will consist as a factor and element which is related to
in knowledge and 27 and attitude of individual and will help the form in managing the skills
practices and self-sufficiency in order to maintain the better functions (Krawczyk and
Showalter, 2020).
This is also analyse from the case study that there are various factors which impacted
on the performance of Tesco company as well as impacted on overall organisation and
respective of companies employee. It is identified that every factor which impacted on the
organisation is related to the difference between behaviour and various aspects which
influence over the potential conduct for fulfilling the task requirements. This is also analysed
that test quiz performing its function at global level where organisation has to manage the
attitude of different working individual in context of global business environment so that it
can achieve better results and perform the function in an appropriate manner (Maddens,
2020). This is because there is difference between the opinions of various person and will
impact on organisational performance so that the person have to behave in accordance with
the organisational requirement. The major factor which impact the employees within Tesco is

related to their performance are personal factors we will factor and environmental factors.
This is essential for the leader to use an appropriate tool in technique in order to minimise the
impact of these three factors so that organisation can achieve its business objective. For
instance employees within the organisation has adequate knowledge about making plans for
performing the business practices in a significant weather at achieving the objectives
accordingly full staff in order to meet the requirements a positive attitude toward the meeting
with employee expectation and customer is needed (Persson, 2014).
The positive attitude with IT company will flow appropriate system and help in
managing various employs a different live girls. Employees have different experience an
expectation level within the organisation which has to used in accordance with the
organisational goals and objectives and performing the function in an appropriate manner so
that it can become a better Organisation in the current time. This is also analysed that there
are various environmental factors which are related to the Tesco and working of its
employees which whole staff. In order to maintain the expectation factors it is required to
follow this strategy so that organisation can achieve its objective and manage the function of
different individual according to the working groups (Tuffrey‐Wijne, 2020).
A high belief in one’s own ability to change lifestyle behaviors in relation to
smoking, alcohol, eating, and physical activity may lead to a decision to avoid help offers.
Although it might defer between the individuals according to their own perception and
behaviour. (Andersen, 2011).
CONCLUSION
It can be concluded from the above mentioned information that there are several
factors which are included in the theory which has to be managed by the organisation in order
to better its productivity and profitability. This is also identified that organisation is using
appropriate system which is related to improving the learning capacity of employees and help
the form in managing functions effectively.
