I am currently developing a conceptual model on organizational effectiveness for my research. I would like to know which parameters or dimensions are most commonly used or emerging in recent literature and empirical studies.
Some of the dimensions I have reviewed include:
- Leadership agility
- Digital transformation capability
- Organizational culture and employee engagement
- Strategic alignment
- Innovation and change management
- Knowledge management
- Talent acquisition and retention
I would appreciate it if fellow researchers could share insights, relevant models, or empirical findings that highlight additional or essential dimensions to consider. Suggestions on measurement tools, survey instruments, or theoretical frameworks are also welcome.
Looking forward to your inputs and academic dialogue.
Organizational effectiveness can be uniquely evaluated through a multidimensional lens that goes beyond traditional financial metrics. Key parameters include adaptive agility, which reflects the organization’s ability to respond swiftly to change; value alignment, where employee behaviors and goals resonate with the core mission and culture; and innovation throughput, measuring how consistently new ideas are generated, tested, and implemented. Another critical factor is collaborative intelligence, which assesses how well teams integrate diverse perspectives to make informed decisions. Stakeholder impact—including customer satisfaction, employee engagement, and social responsibility—provides a broader view of success. Additionally, systemic efficiency, or the seamless integration of technology, processes, and human capital, ensures operational smoothness. When these dynamic parameters are measured collectively, they provide a holistic and futuristic view of organizational effectiveness.
It depends on the type and nature of the organisation. What is the vision and strategic goals? Once this is established then parameters can be developed around the goals. Eg. if one of the goals is about 'productivity', then parameters relating to staff and business performance can be developed and measured.
"Effectiveness" is related to the capacity of get results. Organizational results must be in function of the Mission and Vision of the entity (formalized, or not). Certainly, the parameters vary according to the kind of organization: are not the same for an enterprise, church, sport club and so on. Anyway, absorption capacity could be added to a generic list.
