Abstract

The study focused on one professional services company in Nigerian. These new realities have forced many organisations to reorganise to move quicker, adapt more quickly, foster rapid learning, and meet people’ changing career goals. The study’s major goal was to assess how organisational structure affected employee performance. In the study, formalisation, centralisation of authority, specialism, command and control chain, breadth of control, and traditionalism were examined as indicators of effect. This year’s theme was “Excellence in the Workplace.†The evaluation of the research used publications by famous academics, specialists, and practitioners as references. This study used primary source to gather data. In Nigeria, 249 employees of Ernst & Young were given a standardised questionnaire. To test the hypotheses, the data were examined using regression analysis. Command-and-control structure, and traditionalism all had a varying impact on employee performance at EY, the research showed that in EY, the chain of command and specialisation have the greatest influence on worker performance. Given the effect of covid-19 on the work, this study recommended that the management investigate new strategies to innovate model parameters to stay pace with technical advances.
