Unit Learning Outcomes
LO4: Examine how power, politics and culture can be used to influence employee
behaviour and accomplish organizational goals
You are required to select an organisation in Hanoi to analyse and evaluate the influence of
culture, politics and power on the behaviour in the workplace and how to motivate individuals
and teams to achieve the organisational goals. It is strongly recommended that you will
interview some key managers and staff of the selected organisation to collect relevant data.
Your analysis and evaluation should be conducted using various organisational cultures and
motivational theories and be supported by relevant examples taken from your research of
the selected organisation. You will conclude with recommendations on how your
organisation could improve the performance of their employees to meet goals.
