Assignment - Organisational Behaviour

Part A: Organisational Cultures and Workforce Motivation

Learning Outcome 1: Analyse the influence of culture, politics and power on the behaviour of others in an organisational context.

Learning Outcome 2: Evaluate how to motivate individuals and teams to achieve a goal.

Assignment Brief and Guidance:

You are to choose an organisation of your choice (those in work should use their organisation of employment) to research and prepare a report to present in a board meeting.

The purpose of this report will be to establish the influence that organisational culture and motivation has upon behaviours and performances within the workplace.

You will be required to discuss and analyse the various organisational cultures and motivational theories, and to identify which ones can be found in your organisation. The report must then evaluate how the above-mentioned theories influence behaviours within organisations and how this affects the performance of each organisation. You will conclude with recommendations on how your organisation could improve the performance of their staff to meet goals. Your report will be an overview of your chosen organisation's culture, politics and power, with relevant examples of how these aspects of organisational behaviour have influenced behaviour in the workplace. It should also include how motivational theories and techniques have been applied in your organisation, supported by relevant examples.

Part B: Team Dynamics and Organisational Behaviours

Learning Outcome 3: Demonstrate an understanding of how to cooperate effectively with others.

Learning Outcome 4: Apply concepts and philosophies of organisational behaviour to a given business situation.

Assignment Brief and Guidance:

This part of the assignment gives you the opportunity to demonstrate your ability to work with others, based upon the understanding of group and group dynamics.

In small groups (3-4 members per group) you are required to participate in an in-class activity to test group and teamwork theories (for example, Belbin, Tuckman, and hard and soft skills) and their effectiveness.

During this process you are required to analyse various factors and skills that assist or hinder effective teamwork. You also have to consider appropriate philosophy regarding team performances and the impact on behaviours.

After the in-class activity you will individually reflect on the various concepts and theories in a reflective statement of your team performance, analysing team dynamics, team members' roles and behaviour. You should conclude with an explanation of what factors are instrumental in teams effectively achieving their objectives and identify those aspects which threaten successful achievement and cohesive group work.

Assess the benefits of working in a team: identify the mix of knowledge, skills and experience necessary for a team to fulfil its functions in an organisation.

Demonstrate and discuss the benefits of working in a team as a leader and member towards specific goals, dealing with any conflict or difficult situations to develop roles during team assignments.
