5. ASSESSMENT DETAILS
1. INTRODUCTION
This unit focuses on the behaviour of individuals and groups within organisations. It explores the links between the structure and culture of
organisations and how these interact and influence the behaviour of the workforce. The structure of a large multi-national company with
thousands of employees worldwide will be very different from a small local business with 20 employees. The way in which an organisation
structures and organises its workforce will impact on the culture that develops within the organisation. This system of shared values and beliefs
will determine and shape the accepted patterns of behaviour of an organisations workforce. The culture in
organisations that differ in size, for example, or are from different sectors of the economy can be very different.
The structure and culture of an organisation are key factors that contribute to motivating the workforce at all levels of the organisation. The
Japanese were instrumental in developing a culture of continuous improvement through teamwork in their manufacturing industry. This
culture has now been exported around the world and encapsulates the way in which structure and culture contribute to patterns of behaviour in
the workplace. This unit will develop learner understanding of the behaviour of people within organisations and of the significance that
organisational design has on shaping that behaviour.
Aim:
The aim of this unit is to give learners an understanding of individual and group behaviour in organisations and to examine current theories and
their application in managing behaviour in the workplace
Key Objectives:
Learning Outcomes and assessment criteria:
On successful completion of this unit a learner will:
1.1 Understand the relationship between organisational structure and culture
Types of organisation and associated structures: functional, product-based, geographically based, multi-functional and multi-divisional

4.2 discuss factors that may promote or inhibit the development of effective teamwork in organisations
4.3 evaluate the impact of technology on team functioning within a given organisation
Section 3: Teaching and learning Methods
It is recommended that a range of strategies be used to deliver this unit. Discussion, debate, individual workplace comparisons and use of case
studies are all elements of this unit. Where groups of learners are from one organisation or sector, consideration of cultural issues can be based
upon the needs of the organisation or sector. Video footage, not necessarily relating to business or management, or acting could be used to
illustrate some aspects of a business. The use of investigative tools is recommended to encourage both self awareness and the practical
application of the insights gained.
Section 4: Assessment Methods -Summary
A key feature of the assessment strategy for this unit is the practical application of the theoretical content to an organisational situation at
strategic level. Learners who have the support of their organisations could develop individual assessment plans using opportunities identified
from their workplace. The assessment will consist of three elements, an individual report individual and a group presentation
