| Abstract: | Formal organization theory has been tested in a variety of organizations such as manufacturing firms, hospitals and schools, and service organizations. Few studies, however, have investigated this theory at the subunit level. Also, few attempts have been made to ascertain whether or not this theory, which has been conceived and repeatedly tested in Western industrialized countries, is universally valid. The main objective of this study is to investigate the validity of formal organization theory by investigating a different organizational set - namely, municipal branches - in a developing country - namely, Saudi Arabia. |
