Influence of culture

The culture is divided in three major parts which has a significant impact on Tesco business team and individual performance as well as behaviour in terms of Role, task, power and person. These are defined by Handy and described below:

The Power culture: The power culture defined by Handy is a “WEB” that the concentration power is influenced and reflected by family businesses which can be large or small in nature effectively. The roles and responsibilities for a family business is depended on the role model of family member. The major impact of such businesses are that there are few members in the family who operates the business operational activities. The decision making is also proposed by role model of family member. Strategies and plans formulated by the family members is implemented by any other professional or member efficiently. The plans and strategies for empowering a family business is mostly formulated by others due to the lack of effective family members who can implement these strategies and plans by themselves. It can be said that the power culture has more trust on any individual rather than committee or groups that it changes very quickly and consistently.

The Role culture: It is also known as a Greek Temple. Here the functional unit of business are pillars and apex if an effective decision making which helps to implement apex decisions effectively. It can be analysed that pillars are the main strength of any business that it is run by a paper system method. The culture is suitable and effective for those firm who does not make any quick changes and also a part of anticipation efficiently. There are some constant changes in firm which reduce the stability. It is effective for government departments, public sectors, local authorities, public utilities and general sectors effectively.

The person culture: The person culture is a characteristic and part of the model or structure of business management consensus, where the determination of paths and structure within individuals is pursued by Tesco. It can be said that a structure formalisation requires needs and services of an individual. Control of management and relationship reporting helps to define suitable culture for the groups and communities effectively. The person culture has a potential effect on Tesco business that it is not much suitable and also reflect culture of a person within organisation efficiently.

The Task culture: Task culture represents the business characteristics which includes activities such as development and department as well as extensive research which is dynamic in nature for Tesco. It can be said that there is a close liaison and mean between organisation activities, functions, integration, communication, specialities and liaison where the firm is able to adopt changes consistently and become a part of anticipation activities. Task culture influences the decisions making and performances of team and an individual in both positive and negative term. It all depends on the activities and performance managed and controlled by individual or team effectively.

Influence of politics

Decrease productivity: It can be said that political changes affect business policies and strategies which has a negative impact on individual and Tesco performance. This will affect profitability and production which decrease productivity. There are some employees at workplace plays politics and lose their attention and concentration towards work and also affect thinking of fellow workers. Such employees pay their attention towards leg pulling and back biting which is not good for them and organisation effectively.

Demotivate employees and change attitudes: Politics at workplace affect behaviour and attitude of employees and unable them to work hard towards their individual project and task. It can be analysed hat politics also affect workers with proper knowledge and skills that they also attend office just for a sake. Hard work done by employees is also not noticed by management in the presence of politics.

Stress and wrong information: Individual in the firm find more difficulties and problem to communicate with their fellow workers due to the fear of leaking secrets and informations. They do not trust each other due to the fear of politics from which they get tensed and stressed. Management and superiors also get wrong information in the presence of politics effectively. Thus, it can be said that it will affect their performance as well as behaviour at workplace which lead towards decreasing production and profitability.

Influence of Power

Power can be described as a authority which is provided by Tesco to its management and leaders in order to manage and control different business operational activities in order to achieve desired goals and objectives. The power is used by managers in order to control and manage work of employees at workplace that helps to increase production and profitability. Misuse of power will demotivate employees and will affect their performance and quality of work which reduce productivity and profits effectively. Manager are responsible for handling all the financial and non-financial activities in order to manage business operational activities effectively. Thus, it can be said that business politics, culture and power has a potential impact on behaviour and performance of team as well as individual effectively. This should be managed and controlled well which helps to achieve desired objectives and goals and lead towards profitability and production.
