This study investigated the joint effects of perceived environmental uncertainty and dependence on resources on organizational structure and performance. Findings from two diverse settings that are considered in light of historical developments indicate that organic structures are associated with low resource dependence and that performance is not explained by the fit between environment and organization structure, but is significantly related to organic structure.
