PART 1: Culture, Power and Politics and the Motivation of Individuals
and Teams, within Ryanair
Introduction
Culture refers to the standards, convictions, and values that organization members
must follow. Culture can be classified according to power, person, task, and role.
According to Hofstede "network concepts and framework theory and organizational
psychology are the numerous frameworks and hypotheses for cultural identity"
(Hofstede, 2011). In order to understand behaviour, the impact of power and politics is
necessary. Power-based dynamics across organizational systems and decision making
will make human and community dynamics understandable.
The prosperity of the businesses and the sustainability and the continuing performance
of the industry are essentially decided in the corporate world’s new power and politics.
As a power, culture, and politics are linked to the organization's management and
leadership (DiazGranados, et. al., 2017). Politics, power, and culture affect the team
and individual behavior at Ryanair are describe below:
Power
Power is an aspect that influences individuals' actions and even the team's operational
success. The power can be explained as the alteration of the actions of certain
individuals or classes in the best way they want, without needing to adjust their conduct
appropriately or not. As long as power is concerned, it is obvious that the more an
individual or team has control, the more it affects the company (Muchiri, et. al., 2017). In
Ryanair’s context, it could be seen that employees with high power, particularly senior
management, are highly powered to control the process. When a powerful leader leads
the whole team the behavior of employees might change.
5
Ryanair consists of large functional or specific areas organized by a small group from
top managers, a high degree of formalization and standardization. The activities of the
activities and the communications are regulated together by laws and procedures that
describe the task, the expert concerned, typically the mode of contact besides the
settlers. The guidelines and protocols usually are the key effectiveness processes. The
success of this specific society is based instead on human traits on the logic of the
division of and obligation.
Culture
Ryanair follows task culture in their organisation. Task cultures are often related to
organizations which follow structural designs or matrixes. The emphasis is on having
something completed and culture seeks to get the necessary tools and the best
individuals together at the same stage to collect the required support for a project to
finish. Ryanair focused on the group's unifying force to increase productivity, as well as
to help the person define the organizational goals. Therefore the work ethos should take
priority over human ambitions and the plurality of places and beauty discrepancies.
Politics
Politics often has a significant impact on the actions of an individual and a group, which
in turn influences the success of the company (Geppert and Dörrenbächer, 2014).
Another such business is Ryanair, where staff who don't work hard use dishonest
tactics to win their jobs. Politics implies the unethical actions of individuals in an
6
institution to achieve advantages beyond their influence. The mood is pessimistic.
Regarding this, the business has a broad organization of tons of staff, and management
is liable for its smooth running.
7
M1 Critically analyse how the culture, politics, and power of an
organisation can influence individual and team behaviour and
performance.
Power, culture, and politics affect the Ryanair in both the positive and negative manner
and also influence the performance and behavior of the team and individual. Adequate
power use contributes to the accomplishment of desirable priorities and targets.
Ineffectual usage of power or power can lead to the system's malfunction. It is
achievable for inexperienced and self-confident administrators. They seem to stop
utilizing force and choose issues with diligent employees and the like. The interpersonal
effects of not utilizing control are particularly evident at the peak of an organization, as
abdications of authority in authoritarian structures affect down (Pettigrew, 2014).
8
P2 Evaluate how content and process theories of motivation and
motivational techniques enable effective achievement of goals in an
organisational context.
9
Theory X suggests the workers do not perform their work because they do not want to
do it and want and stop their tasks. Individuals are required to operate in a company.
After all, they do not want to accept responsibilities because they have little desire.
Theory Y, on the other side, opposes hypothesis X in its entirety. According to principle
Y, this approach is ambitious, with imaginative and self-employed workers. This is a
great motivational principle, and in modern organisations, it is growing more and more
popular. The key feature of this philosophy is self-empowered teams (Senaratne and
Gunawardane, 2015).
10
M2 Critically evaluates how to influence the behaviour of others through
the effective application of behavioural motivational theories, concepts,
and models.
11
achieving goals and goals. Ryanair both practiced exclusively the everyday routine,
breaking up the lethargy process and encouraging themselves through simple tasks.
The tasks are graded from 0 to 5, and the staff will concentrate on basic pleasures and
abilities. Yet this specific method of inspiration is not so successful because it relies on
an individual's actions.
12
D1 Critically evaluates the relationship between culture, politics, power,
and motivation that enables teams and organisations to succeed in
providing justified recommendations.
Following analysis of Ryanair's theories and strategies of inspiration, it has been found
that the organization uses successful approaches and templates for inspiring workers to
aim towards organic performance. However, by growing the number of rewards and
appreciation programs, the Organization will improve its success annually. The
business workers will be paid to retain morale at quarterly rates. Therefore, it is
recommended that the organization provide daily breaks for the workers to be rested so
that their fitness and wellbeing can be strengthened in order to meet their targets. In
order to improve operational productivity, workers operate in their fields of operation. A
strategy of periodically receiving positive input is often required (Chumg, et. al., 2016).
Conclusion
The above techniques and theories help the Ryanair Company to motivate the
employees at their workplace. This may include increasing the reward system and small
breaks to make an effective working environment.

PART 2: Influences on team effectiveness and concepts and theories
of organisational behaviour within Ryanair
The most critical part of a good and smooth company is collaboration between team
and leaders. Workplace collaboration means workers' dedication to transparent
communication with their leaders. This is leads to team effectiveness. Workplace
teamwork is particularly distinguished by an efficient or unsuccessful group. The reality
is that pure team participation does not benefit organisations has been noticed. To
accomplish objectives and targets, the team must be successful (Higgs and Dulewicz,
2016). Without team, No business can run. A team includes leaders who operate
together to achieve an end product for their company through a common, mutual goal.
A community of parts is two or more individuals who count on each other in their
successes and who may operate in the same department or not exactly. Often, the
variations are fine-tuned but the common theme is that a team operates together and
spreads the outcome, whereas one side is much more autonomous. The strength or
concentration of a team is defined by the common goal and how members become
committed to each other.
Teams will become successful if an active discussion takes place so people will share
their views openly in a company; leadership and representatives must listen to each
other's views. An unsuccessful team disputes the successful team, as participants of
these teams do not listen, conversations are closed and authoritative leadership is
sought. Good teams are decided by a majority, in which any participant decides,
whereas the unsuccessful teams usually make choices quickly until the real problems
are solved. Task responsibilities play a significant role in keeping the departments
productive or ineffective. This is clear with the aid of the Tuckman team growth theory
(Jelphs and Dickinson, 2016). The Tuckman model suggested by Bruce Tuckman, a
common approach in establishing the basis for successful team organizing, which is
14
another key of the effective team embraced by Ryanair. Similar to the Tuckman theory,
four stages are explained below:
Forming is the beginning point of team growth, where most team leaders play a
constructive, friendly, and leading role.
The next move is to storming employees against the accomplishment of goals.
The team leaders question each other's authority which leads to disputes within
themselves.
Normalizing is the third level of people's dispute management and recognition of
subordinates' views and abilities. The last step is to accomplish team objectives
by diligent work effectively (Kitchin, 2017).
The last stage is performing. The team is more politically conscious. Now the
team is fully aware of everything it does. The team has a shared dream and will
operate for itself without any intervention or involvement from the manager.
15
by diverse personnel in an enterprise that has strengthened the efficiency of the
team lies behind efficient teamwork and cooperation between divisions.
16
M3 Analyse relevant team and group development theories to support the
development of cooperation within effective teams.
As for Ryanair, the company has to some great degree followed the theory of Tuckman.
When the company wanted to launch the latest strategy, the development process was
successfully done by the men. The total team from numerous divisions was well
organized in the organization, which strengthened the team's job. Throughout the first
step, the workers showed outstanding management ability and led to the company's
smooth efficiency. For the second, though, which is normative, the implementation of
new strategies culminated in a significant volume of confrontation (Pereira, et. al.,
2017).
Conflicts have taken a long time to settle, undermining the productivity of the whole
group. Taking the other two measures into consideration, it has shown that the
Ryanair divisions, particularly modern strategies, are well organized. Different people
have increasing habits that impact the team's function and team growth at all these
levels. Effective teams contribute to accessible contact, which promotes constructive
and optimistic conduct by workers in the company when an inefficient team allows
workers to be pessimistic about the effort to accomplish their goals.
17
P4 Apply concepts and philosophies of organisational behaviour within an
organisational context and given business situation.
18
Source: Taylor, 2018
The loyalty of workers relies on the leadership's success as facilitators and trainers,
which rewards their personnel for productive results. The original principle of the Path-
Goal describes four types of leading behaviour that are directed towards success,
course, engagement, and support.
The Guideline of path Goal, which clarifies the leading actions, applies to cases
when the boss lets the workers know how to carry out their duties. The theory
suggests the most important effect is that this activity has the undefined yet
morally rewarding position yet the job conditions of the employees.
The oriented leader behaviour can be detailed as success applies to
circumstances where the leader stipulates objectives for workers, assumes they
will be willing to fulfil certain standards at the maximum standard, and expresses
trust. Skilled employment, salespeople, scientists, developers, and businessmen
became the most significant causes for achievement (Hofstede, 2011).
Participatory leadership activity includes administrators interviewing staff before
taking a judgment. This conduct prevails as workers engage in their jobs
extremely individually.
19
The supportive behaviour of the leader is structured to respond to the needs and
desires of employees. The manager shows consideration for the emotional well-
being of the staff. For situations where activities or interactions are mentally or
physically distressing, this action is particularly important (Muchiri, et. al., 2017).
Path-Goal theory presupposes that leaders of Ryanair are adaptive and will adjust their
styles according to circumstances. The principle presents the leader behaviour-outcome
partnership for two risk factors, such as the climate and employee characteristics. The
atmosphere does not govern the organization, the network of authority, and the working
party of the followers. Environmental variables decide the form of leading actions
required for optimizing workplace outcomes. The manifestation of influence, knowledge,
and presumed capacity are the characteristics of a good leader. Employees'
characteristics decide by the interpretation and leadership of the environment.
Successful leaders explain the way their staff will accomplish their targets and making
the road simpler by growing barriers and traffic delays. Employee's performance and
satisfaction are positive when the leader of Ryanair offsets the employee's deficiencies
or the work environment (DiazGranados, et. al., 2017).
Ryanair executives typically communicate directly with their staff on a quarterly basis to
assess their opinions. This is, however, criticized because it was partial and judgmental.
The second dimension of organizational actions is the capacity to analyze and infer
stuff. Motivation is another aspect that has a positive and detrimental effect on the
actions of individuals. Nonetheless, certain low-level employees are not satisfied with
the policy of the Company, so Ryanair staff is more favourably influenced by both the
human resources strategies and the management's compensation policies.
20
M4 Evaluate how concepts and philosophies of OB inform and influence
behaviour within a given business situation.
The Path-Goal Leadership Principle suggests that leaders are agile and willing to
change their leadership style. The environment, the work, and the characteristics of
employees are influencing this. The degree of expertise, the capacity for self-
employment, and encouragement of employees are also significant. A good or different
solution is the duty of the manager. While clarifying the path to the end target, members
of Ryanair are issued specific directions or ambiguous advice, allowing others to focus
on the employee. They will support workers in case of obstacles contributing to
stagnation.
21
D2 Critically analyse and evaluate the relevance of team development
theories, concepts, and philosophies that influence behaviour in the
workplace to improve business performance and productivity
The structure of the organisation, which often plays a major part, is the further
component of the definition and theory of organizational behaviour. Social structure,
principles, and common interest are the variables influencing the existence of the
organisation. Network framework is organisations' external interaction with consumers,
vendors, and others. It may be both casual and formal. The behaviour, which represents
the principles and convictions of organisations, was influenced by these social
structures. The action is influenced by classes and human drives. Ethics are companies'
basic values (Geppert and Dörrenbächer, 2014).
Ryanair follows social principles and ethics in its company practices including beliefs,
honesty, professionalism as well as customer inflexibility. Moreover, the code of ethics
performance bonuses has been newly applied to the business ethos for noteworthy
ethical behaviour. The shared benefit applies primarily to workers' and organizations
shared awareness. Interest in one's work is an important driver of behaviour. Regarding
Ryanair, the business encountered numerous difficulties in terms of shared
understanding between workers and organisations in a considerable amount. Therefore,
mutual interest can lead to both positive and negative conduct (Pettigrew, 2014).
Regarding the theory of Tuckman, this is analysed that principle concepts and
organisation's principles are thoroughly associated with the four formation,
standardization, and storm and success stages.
22
Conclusion
From the above, it has been concluded that all companies require management for
development and sustainability regardless of size and activity. Management combines
human and non-human input to generate useful production through efficient use of
input. Universal management, target-oriented helps to ensure, the organizational
process includes planning, organization, care coordination, and monitoring.
Management leads to the accomplishment of operational goals. Managers must have
the technological, psychological, philosophical, and medical know-how. The first level of
management requires technical skills because they are in immediate communication
with employees and accountable for everyday operations. The report discusses the
various theories and models of the organisational behaviour which influences individual
and its operation. It also develops various ways in which the leader and manager of
Ryanair can lead the employees. It focuses on the various team development theories
that support the development of employees and their cooperation.
