Abstract

The advancement of an institute can be estimated by employees’ performance. This document aims to study the relationship of organizational structure (OS) with job performance (JP) of teachers at the university level. The OS is classified as “work specialization, departmentalization, the chain of command, the span of control, centralization, and decentralization, and formalization”. It was a descriptive research, and the correlation technique was used. The population comprised of 22 general government and private universities of Punjab. The sample was selected through simple random sampling technique which comprised of 720 teachers from 12 universities. Data was gathered through two questionnaires in which one was related to the classification of OS, and the other was the job performance scale. The data were analysed through quantitative methods. The results of the study revealed that the sampled universities have an organic structure. The OS of publicly owned universities was more organic than privately owned universities. The outcomes showed that a positive, weak association exists between OS and teachers’ JP.
