3.3. How does sustainability affect organisational behaviour? For most companies, becoming sustainable involves a conscious and continue effort to build long-term value for their employees, customers and communities. Companies now change the way they think about products, technologies, processes and business models.

Furthermore, the American author and psychologist Daniel Goleman in his research "Leadership That Gets Results" identifies six style types: Coercive, Authoritative, Affiliative, Democratic, Pacesetting, and Coaching (Goleman, 2000). Following is a brief description of each style: 1. Directive (coercive): decision making centralised by the managers and the employee does what they say, it is suitable in crisis or employees' problems

Organisational structure: According to the McKinsey 7s model analysis, MEPA’s organisational structure is a very traditional one. We have a hierarchy with a CEO at the top of the reporting structure and different layers of managers supervising employees below him. My organisation has a clear reporting structure.

It will place an emphasis on defining the boundaries,
addressing and solving problems that affect people management programs in the long run. ( Douglas A. Ready Linda A. Hill Robert J.

Question 1 1.1 Douglas McGregor: McGregor argued that two different sets of assumption determine how manager’s view their subordinates and manage their departments.

On the hand, Theory Y- managers adopt a positive of employees and believe that it is the manager’s task to create a climate in which employees can effectively perform their work (Cronje, et al 2004)
starts with the examination of the present situation. For example, a SWOT analysis team could ask themselves the following questions relating to the business: • What business is the company? • What are the targets? • How well is it achieving these targets? • What are the resources and how well these are being used by management? In doing so, the company can identify its strengths and weaknesses in making good strategic decisions in order to establish a competitive advantage. Strengths will vary depending

SOURCES USED FOR RESEARCH WORK. Making a meaningful analysis requires gathering genuine and valid data. Data can be gathered from various sources which are categorized into primary and secondary data. Primary data is the first hand information which does not exist already and is being collected and gathered by the researcher himself. While secondary data refers to data collected by someone and made readily available other than the researcher himself. Relying on secondary data alone in analysing an
