What is Organizational Performance?



Organizational performance is defined as analyzing the company’s performance against its predefined goals and objectives. (News, 2022).  In the process of measuring the organizational performance, we use three main areas. They are,

  1.    Financial Performance of the Organization
  2.    Market Performance of the Organization
  3.    Shareholder Value of the Organization

Above mentioned are the key main areas that measure the organizational performance.

According to senior manager at Pitcher Partners , Organizational Performance is usually identified according to how successfully an organized group of peoples perform a predefined task to ensure a particular purpose is fulfilled (James, 2022).

In the process of analyzing the organizational performance, each area should be analyzed and managed in a proper manner.

  1.   Financial Performance

Financial performance of an organization is measured using several factors like Profits, Return on Investment and Return on Assets. In the process of managing the organizational performance, financial performance is a much important aspect. This aspect mainly focuses on companies’ operations and policies using monetary terms. (Hirebook, 2022).

      2.       Market Performance

Market performance is mainly assessed using how good the products or services offered by the organization acts in the market. In this aspect organization should identify the market share, competitive advantages, and customer retention.

      3.       Shareholder Value

In this aspect we measure how much an organization enriches its shareholder and the amount of the return they get on their investment.

Internal and External Environments of Organizational Performance

In the process managing the organizational performance, environment plays a major role. This helps organizations in determining the success or failure. Strategic management of the organization should always work on aligning the organization with the environment(Satyendra, 2020).

1.       Internal Environment

Internal environment is the major aspect that lies within the organization, and this can be altered according to the strategic management decisions of the organization. Internal environment of an organization is composed of its owners, chairmen, managers, employees, physical environment, and culture.

2.       External Environment

These factors are the main areas that decide the external environment of the organization while organization cannot alter those factors. Strategic management can get decisions by adapting to the above-mentioned factors. This will help in increasing the organizational performance.
