Abstract:
The study examines the influence of organizational structure on the relationship between corporate strategy and organizational performance. Using a structural questionnaire, data were obtained from 46 companies listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange and analyzed using inferential statistics. The study reveals the intervening significant influence of organizational structure on the link connecting corporate strategy and customer performance, internal business process performance and environmental performance, but no significant power on financial performance, learning and growth performance; and social performance. A theoretical implication illustrates that the industrial organizational theory has significant effect on stakeholders theory. Methodological implication confirms the operationalization of corporate strategy as independent variable, organizational structure as intervening variable and organizational performance as dependent variable; the use of cross- sectional survey and the application of regression analysis for the study. The researchers recommend future research on corporate strategy and organizational structure concepts using longitudinal and case studies.
