Organizational characteristics are aspects of organizations that can be identified, usually in relation to performance. For example modern management theory would suggest that organizations with an organizational climate focused on clear organizational objectives, a clarity of organizational structure, with clear measurement systems enabling the monitoring of progress, with a clear organizational commitment to goal achievement etc would perform better than organizations without these characteristics.
