Abstract

The research aimed to identify the impact of the organizational structure on the balanced performance of large Yemeni industrial and service companies. It also sought to determine the availability of the dimensions of the organizational structure, explore the prevailing type of organizational structure in these companies, and test for significant differences in balanced performance based on the nature of the organizational structure, the industry, and the company's age. To accomplish this, the study adopted a descriptive analytical approach and used a questionnaire to collect data from 280 individuals in administrative leadership across 43 industrial and service firms. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS 26 and Smart PLS 4. The findings revealed that the automated organizational structure is most common among Yemeni companies, followed by the mixed structure. The results also showed that organizational structure positively influences balanced performance, with the effect of the mixed structure being stronger than that of the automated structure. Furthermore, the level of balanced performance varies according to the type of organizational structure—higher in companies with automated structures—while it does not significantly differ by industry or company age.
