Rajapakshe, Wasantha
This study attempts to extend current understanding of the
relationship between an organization's structure and its strategy. A selective
review of conceptual and empirical studies has been used to find out whether
the strategy determines structure or structure determines strategy. It is
assumed that, each affects the other simultaneously. To find a better solution
for this phenomenon a conceptual framework and hypotheses related to the
argument have been developed. Most of the studies suggest that the
relationship between strategy and structure is highly complex. It is confirmed
that changes in the structure depend on the strategy. However, some scholars
argue that structure leads to change the strategy. Even though evidence does
exist, however, to say with confidence that chosen strategies cannot be
effectively implemented without developing a sound organizational structure.

Chandrakumara, P.M.K.A.
The study examines the influence of organisational
participants perception of work environment on job
performance in a sample of university academics. The paper
presents that the perception of organisational climate has a
significant effect on job performance of some academics
while it is not so for some others. It reveals that perception of
climate to be positively related to job performance of many
senior academics and that higher the qualification and
experience, the greater the impact of perceived organisational
climate on performance pertaining to research and
publications. The climate dimensions of conflict avoidance,
performance standards, clarity of structure, reward
orientation, and individual responsibility are significantly
related to the said performance criteria. It further reveals that
there is no relationship between teaching performance and
perceived organisational climate for any category of
lecturers. It also presents that the relationship between the
two concepts is negative for many academics who have
relatively less experience and qualifications and that it is
insignificant for many junior academics.
