| dc.description.abstract | <p>The present study of size-structure relationship is based on a homogeneous sample of 168 life insurance companies. Data were collected on three measures of size and four measures of stru.cture . Extremely high intercorrelations among size measures (> .87) justify the use of only one of these in subsequent analysis of size-structure relationship. The results indicate this relation ship to be highly significant but non linear. In general, the structure tends to increase with size but at a decreasing rate. These findings are interpreted in a framework of reversible probabilistic causality. The study also compares the size-structure relationship across small, medium and large organizations. The results in this regard point towards varying dimensionality of organization structure associated with organization growth.</p> | en_US |
