Abstract :

This paper aimed to apply a balanced scorecard as an evaluation performance tool to investigate the impact of organizational structure variables on the organizational performance of Esfahan steel industries. The standardized Robbins’s (1998) questionnaire was used for data collection. Hersey and Goldsmith’s standard questionnaire was used to assess aspects of organizational performance. The sample consisted of 100 employees working in the Esfahan steel industries. The results demonstrated that there is a meaningful relationship between organizational performance and organizational structure and its components including complexity, formality, and concentration. The findings also indicated that concentrations had the most significant impact on organizational performance. The results of the Bartlett and Kaiser-Meyer tests indicated a high reliability of the research (0.89 and a confidence level of less than 0.05). Also, using correlation coefficient, regression test, and structural equations, the assumptions of the research were confirmed. The results of regression show that centralizations (With a coefficient of 0.59) had the most significant impact on organizational performance.
