For this purpose, effects of Top Management Team profilevariables, including Strategic Decision-Making Style and Strategic Decision-Making Group Size,Environmental Dynamism, Environmental Hostility, Organization Size (both annual turnover andnumber of employees are taken separately as the indicators of organisation size), Organization’s Age,and Technology (three technological levels: low, medium and high technologies) on theOrganizational Structure analysed. Organisation’s Degrees of Centralization and Formalization weretaken as organisational structure variables. The research adopted a convenient sampling method andwas conducted with 455 managers working in Turkey's different organisations. The Partial LeastSquare-Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) approach is used to assess the effects of TopManagement Team profile variables, environmental factors, and organisational factors on both thedegree of centralisation and formalisation. The results show that TMT Age, Environmental Hostility,Organizational Size (Annual Turnover only), and Technology have a positive and significant effectonly on formalisation, while Strategic Decision-Making Group Size, Strategic Decision-Making Style,and Environmental Dynamism on both The Degree of Centralisation and Formalisation. This studyalso showed that the effects of most of the variables mentioned in the literature as antecedents of theorganisational structure could not be determined while all the variables mentioned above are includedin the same research model.
